tQuery API : three.js + jQuery
Three.js Power + jQuery API Usability
tQuery API is a thin library on top of three.js It is an extension system for people to write plugins. To help them share their code and build on top of each other. It mimics jquery api, well know for its usuability. tQuery API aims for "it should not be harder than playing with lego bricks."
Power of Three.js
Three.js is actively developed by a team of skilled developers. It got various rendering backends, importers for most 3D models format. It efficiently abstracts webgl complexity and provides a wide varieties of 3D objects. It got numberous examples 120+.
jQuery API Usability

<!doctype html><title>Minimal tQuery Page</title>

var object = tQuery.createTorus().addTo(world);
</script></body>
You get index.html on the left, and the output on the right. You can try it online with the playground. To get that running on your local computer, First you get boilerplate's files here, then you launch the http server to serve them. Here is a little shell script which does it all.
curl -OL https://github.com/downloads/jeromeetienne/tquery/tqueryboilerplate.zip unzip tqueryboilerplate.zip cd tqueryboilerplate make server
