GUI (Graphical User Interface)

As we've already learned Three.js for a while, you might have noticed how tweaking properties like positions, rotations, or colors can be a bit tedious. That’s where GUI (Graphical User Interface) libraries come in handy. In this lesson, we’ll explore GUI libraries , specifically lil-gui, and learn how to integrate it into your Three.js projects to make development smoother and more interactive. ### What is a GUI Library and Why Use One ? A GUI library provides an interface that allows you to adjust values and settings in real time, instead of manually changing them in your code. This is especially useful in Three.js when fine-tuning parameters like:
