Implementing a Custom Mesh Pipeline for Subdivision and Displacement
Introduction to Mesh Subdivision
In the realm of 3D renderign, meshes are fundamentally defined by triangles. When exporting assets from modeling software, the geometry is tessellated into a set of primitives that the GPU processes. To increase geometric detail, we often employ subdivision techniques—the process of partitioning a coarse mesh in ...

Using model() for 3D Rendering in p5.js with WebGL
The model() function in p5.js allows you to render 3D geometry objects onto the canvas. It requires a p5.Geometry object as its argument, which describes the model's vertices, faces, and colors.
Prerequisites
A WebGL canvas created with createCanvas(w, h, WEBGL).
A valid p5.Geometry object, either built manually or loaded from an external file ...
