Three Nebula is a WebGL and WebGPU based 3D particle system engine designed to work alongside three.js. It provides emitters, initializers, and behaviours for creating GPU-accelerated particle effects from sprites or 3D meshes, with JSON-serializable system definitions.

Use cases

• add particle effects to a three.js scene
• create fire, smoke, or explosion effects in the browser
• render tens of thousands of particles at 60fps
• design particle systems visually and export as JSON
• build 3D visual effects for web games
• animate sprites and meshes with particle behaviours

When to choose

• you are already using three.js and need particle effects
• you need GPU-accelerated rendering of large particle counts
• you want portable, JSON-defined particle systems
• you prefer a declarative emitter/initializer/behaviour API

When to avoid

• your project does not use three.js
• you need CPU-side particle physics or simulation outside the browser
• you need a standalone 2D particle engine for canvas or DOM
