Threejs apply clipping to specific area of the object - javascript

I'm using THREE.Plane to clip my STL model.
localPlane = new THREE.Plane( new THREE.Vector3( 0, -1, 0 ), 4);
.
.
.
material = new THREE.MeshPhongMaterial( {
color: 0xffffff,
side: THREE.DoubleSide,
clippingPlanes: [
localPlane,
],
clipShadows: true
} );
It's working; but the problem is that the whole object's top is clipped by this infinity sized plane. I want it to clip just a small part of it (It seems that there is no way to scale THREE.Plane)
I also tried using ThreeCSG.js but it seems inconvenient with STL objects!
Here is what I get:

Yes, the removal of the intersection of clipping planes is supported in three.js. You can use a pattern like this one:
// clipping planes
var localPlanes = [
new THREE.Plane( new THREE.Vector3( - 1, 0, 0 ), 1 ),
new THREE.Plane( new THREE.Vector3( 0, - 1, 0 ), 1 )
];
// material
var material = new THREE.MeshPhongMaterial( {
color: 0xffffff,
side: THREE.DoubleSide,
clippingPlanes: localPlanes,
clipIntersection: true
} );
Also, see the three.js example.
three.js r.85

Edit: Follow WestLangley's advice. I'll leave this her as an alternate though less efficient means of performing the clipping.
Clipping planes are infinite. There's no getting around that. So what can you do? Multiple clipping planes in multiple render passes!
To do this, you'll need to turn off auto-clearing, and do your own manual buffer clearing.
renderer = new THREE.WebGLRenderer();
renderer.autoClear = false;
Now let's say plane1 is the clipping plane you currently have.
material = new THREE.MeshPhongMaterial( {
...
clippingPlanes: [
plane1,
],
clipShadows: true
} );
var myMesh = new THREE.Mesh(geometry, material);
That clips the top half of myMesh when you call render. So you want to work with the remainder.
First, make another plane, plane2, be the inverse of plane1. plane2 will then clip the BOTTOM of myMesh. But if you render one pass using plane1, and another using plane2, then you're back with a full mesh. So you'll need a third clip plane, plane3, which clips only the desired half of myMesh. Putting plane2 and plane3 in the same render pass will result in only 1/4 of myMesh rendering.
var pass1ClipPlanes = [
plane1
],
pass2ClipLanes = [
plane2, // this plane is the inverse of plane 1, so it clips the opposite of plane1
plane3 // this clips the left/right half of the model
];
Then when you go to render, clear the draw buffers first, then call two render passes, updating the clip planes between them.
// clear the draw buffers
renderer.clear();
// clip the top
myMesh.material.clipPlanes = pass1ClipPlanes;
renderer.render(scene, camera);
// clip the bottom and one side
myMesh.material.clipPlanes = pass2ClipPlanes;
renderer.render(scene, camera);
The first pass renders the bottom of the model, and the second pass renders half of the top.

Set 3d cube rotation origin

I have a simple 3d cube (BoxGeometry of 100, 100, 100) and I am trying to rotate it. If we call all 100x100x100 a tile - when I rotate it I can see it's overlapping the below tile.
(by changing color, now I totally understand the behaviour).
tl.to(this.cube4.rotation, 0.5, {z: -45* Math.PI/180});
[
What if I want to rotate it based on an anchor point of right bottom? So instead of overflowing inside the below tile, it will overflow that portion to above tile.
So it will look like the green example and not the red example:
The red example here is achieved by
tl.to(this.cube4.rotation, 0.5, {z: -45* Math.PI/180});
tl.to(this.cube4.position, 0.5, {x: 50 }, 0.5);
I am very new to three.js so if any terminology is wrong, please warn me
Add the ("red") cube to a THREE.Group, in that way that the rotation axis (the edge) is in the origin of the group. This means the cube has to be shifted by the half side length.
If you rotate the group object, then the cube (which is inside the group) will rotate around the edge and not around its center.
e.g.
var bbox = new THREE.Box3().setFromObject(cube);
cube.position.set(bbox.min.x, bbox.max.y, 0);
var pivot = new THREE.Group();
pivot.add(cube);
scene.add(pivot);

From the first image, it appears that the pivot of your red tile is at its center.
For the rotation you want, you would ideally change the pivot to the lower right of the cube. This is impossible without modifying the geometry of the cube.
BUT a simple trick is to create an empty node at that pivot point, parent your cube to that empty, and apply your rotation to the empty. (Don't forget to remove your translation, you don't need it anymore)
Here is some pseudo code, assuming your red box is centered at (0,0,0) and has a width and height of 100:
// create an empty node at desired rotation pivot
var empty = new Object3D or group
empty.position = (50, -50, 0)
// parent your cube to the empty
var cube = your box
empty.add(cube)
// you may need to change the local position of your cube to bring it back to its global position of (0,0,0)
cube.position = (-50, 50, 0)
rotate empty by 45°
I think you can get the bounds of the rotated object like this:
bounds = new THREE.Box3().setFromObject( theRedObject )
Then reposition the object.y based on its bounds.min.y

three.js raycast on skinning mesh

I'm trying to raycast skinning mesh (of knowing issue) after some skeleton changes (without animation on it, so performance isn't a priority).
The tricky thing i imagine in this attempt is:
Load skinned mesh add to scene
Make some changes in positions of specific bones at loaded mesh
Copy geometries of transformed loaded mesh (maybe from buffer?)
Create new mesh (some kind of imitation ghost mesh) from copied geometries and apply to it
set raycast on ghost mesh with opacity material= 0.0
Above list should work, but I'm stuck third day on point 3 cause I can't get transformed vertices after skinning.

Please note that I need this in thre.js build r98 or less, because the rest of my code (not included here) and without morph tangents only skinning bones.
I tried to write it clearly and please if anyone want help do it so because I'm not a pro.
I not including my approach of calculating transformed geometries because I failed too hard.
I dug a lot about this problem here e.g. issue6440 and for today it's still not fixed.
But there existing methods to work with it e.g https://jsfiddle.net/fnjkeg9x/1/ but after several of attempts I failed and my conclusion is that the stormtrooper works on morph tanges and this could be the reason I failed.
EDIT:
I created next codepen based on this topics get-the-global-position-of-a-vertex-of-a-skinned-mesh and Stormtrooper.
Decided to start with simple box to make bounding around skinned transformed mesh.
Result is fail because it giving 0 at line:
boneMatrix.fromArray(skeleton.boneMatrices, si * 16);
Here i comparing stormtrooper with my example output from console: Screen shot image
Codpen with new progress: https://codepen.io/donkeyLuck0/pen/XQbBMQ
My other idea is to apply this bones form loaded model and rig as a morph tangent programmatically (but i don't even know if it is possible and how to figure it out)
Founded example of animated model
Sketchfab animation with points tracking
This is super late to the game, but here's an example of GPU picking that works with skinned meshes and doesn't require a separate picking scene to keep in sync with your main scene, nor does it require the user to manage custom materials:
https://github.com/bzztbomb/three_js_gpu_picking
The trick that allows for easy material overriding and scene re-use is here:
https://github.com/bzztbomb/three_js_gpu_picking/blob/master/gpupicker.js#L58
A proper support for raycasting for skinned meshes was added in https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js/pull/19178 in revision 116.
You can use GPU picking to "pick" skinned object. It won't give you a position though
Note: GPU picking requires rendering every pickable object with a custom material. How you implement that is up to you. This article does it by making 2 scenes. That might not be as useful for skinned objects.
Unfortunately three.js provides no way to override materials AFAICT. Here's an example that replaces the materials on the pickable objects before rendering for picking and then restores them after. You would also need to hide any objects you don't want picked.

Three.js: Raycast Has an Empty Array of Intersects

I am using this example for my WebGL panorama cube: https://threejs.org/examples/?q=pano#webgl_panorama_equirectangular
I want to know what cube user clicks on and I discovered I can use Raycaster for this. According to docs I added the following function:
function onMouseDown( event ) {
event.preventDefault();
var mouseVector = new THREE.Vector3(
( event.clientX / window.innerWidth ) * 2 - 1,
- ( event.clientY / window.innerHeight ) * 2 + 1,
1 );
//projector.unprojectVector( mouseVector, camera );
mouseVector.unproject( camera );
var raycaster = new THREE.Raycaster( camera.position, mouseVector.sub( camera.position ).normalize() );
// create an array containing all objects in the scene with which the ray intersects
var intersects = raycaster.intersectObjects( scene.children );
console.log(intersects);
if (intersects.length>0){
console.log("Intersected object:", intersects.length);
intersects[ 0 ].object.material.color.setHex( Math.random() * 0xffffff );
}
// ...
But intersects is always empty. My scene is defined as
scene = new THREE.Scene();
and has skyBox added:
var skyBox = new THREE.Mesh( new THREE.CubeGeometry( 1, 1, 1 ), materials );
skyBox.applyMatrix( new THREE.Matrix4().makeScale( 1, 1, - 1 ) );
scene.add( skyBox );
I've seen similar posts related to this issue but could not figure out how to apply to this example. Any directions are appreciated.
Try adding this to your material definition:
var materials = new THREE.SomeMaterial({
/* other settings */,
side: THREE.DoubleSide
});
Raycaster won't intersect back-faces unless the side property is set to THREE.BackSide or THREE.DoubleSide. Even though your scaling technically inverts the face direction, the vertex order stays the same, which is what's important to Raycaster.
Some further explanation
The snippet below is showing how a ray projected from a camera at the center of a skybox inverted by a -Z scale might look.
The box itself looks weird because it has been -Z scaled, and the normals no longer match the material. But that's here nor there.
The green arrow represents the original ray. The red arrow represents what will happen to that ray inside the Mesh.raycast function, which will apply the inverse of the object's world matrix to the ray, but not to the object's geometry. This is a whole different problem.
The point I'm making is that within Mesh.raycast, it does not affect the vertex/index order, so when it checks the triangles of the mesh, they are still in their original order. For a standard BoxGeometry/BoxBufferGeometry, this means the faces all face outward from the geometric origin.
This means the rays (regardless of how the transformation matrix affects them) are still trying to intersect the back-face of those triangles, which will not work unless the material is set to THREE.DoubleSide. (It can also be set to THREE.BackSide, but the -Z scale will ruin that.)
Clicking either of the raycast buttons will produce 0 intersects if the -Z scaled box is not set to THREE.DoubleSide (default). Click the "Set THREE.DoubleSide" button and try it again--it will now intersect.

You might actually want to use an easier process to determine your ray from the camera:
THREE.Raycaster.prototype.setFromCamera( Vector2, Camera );
Simply define your mouse coordinates as you do in a Vector2, then pass the elements to the Raycaster and let it do its thing. It hides the complexity of intersecting the frustrum with the ray from the camera, and should solve your problem.
(Also, the raycaster does indeed only intersect faces that face the ray directly, but since your SkyBox has been inverted its geometries faces are pointing to the inside of the box, so they should intersect if the camera is inside the box. Another possibility is that your box is further away than the raycasters default far value.)
function onMouseDown( event ) {
event.preventDefault();
var mouseVector = new THREE.Vector2(
event.clientX / window.innerWidth * 2 - 1,
-event.clientY / window.innerHeight * 2 + 1
);
var raycaster = new THREE.Raycaster;
raycaster.setFromCamera( mouseVector, camera );
var intersects = raycaster.intersectObjects( scene.children );
console.log(intersects);
if( intersects.length > 0 ){
console.log( "Intersected object:", intersects[ 0 ] );
intersects[ 0 ].object.material.color.setHex( Math.random() * 0xffffff );
}
}

Wrapping images around sphere

I've read many blogs/questions about this and didn't find the right answer. I'm creating an earth in three.js. But every time I'm mapping my texture and bump map it doesn't show. Also there aren't any console errors. It still shows my light on the sphere so the sphere is still there. But the textures won't show. :(
var scene,
camera,
light,
renderer,
earthObject;
var WIDTH = window.innerWidth,
HEIGHT = window.innerHeight;
var angle = 45,
aspect = WIDTH / HEIGHT,
near = 0.1,
far = 3000;
//Environment
var container = document.getElementById('container');
camera = new THREE.PerspectiveCamera(angle, aspect, near, far);
camera.position.set(0, 0, 0);
scene = new THREE.Scene();
//light
scene.add(new THREE.AmbientLight(0x333333));
var light = new THREE.DirectionalLight(0xffffff, 1);
light.position.set(5,3,5);
scene.add(light);
var earthGeo = new THREE.SphereGeometry (30, 40, 400),
earthMat = new THREE.MeshPhongMaterial();
// diffuse map
earthMat.map = THREE.ImageUtils.loadTexture('http://i317248.iris.fhict.nl/LSTE/globe/Images/globe.jpg');
// bump map
earthMat.bumpMap = THREE.ImageUtils.loadTexture('http://i317248.iris.fhict.nl/LSTE/globe/Images/bump.jpg');
earthMat.bumpScale = 8;
var earthMesh = new THREE.Mesh(earthGeo, earthMat);
earthMesh.position.set(-100, 0, 0);
earthMesh.rotation.y=5;
scene.add(earthMesh);
camera.lookAt( earthMesh.position );
//Renderer code.
var renderer = new THREE.WebGLRenderer({antialiasing : true});
renderer.setSize(WIDTH, HEIGHT);
renderer.domElement.style.position = 'relative';
container.appendChild(renderer.domElement);
renderer.autoClear = false;
renderer.shadowMapEnabled = true;
function render () {
renderer.render(scene, camera);
}
render();
Two problems in your code:
you're not waiting for the images to load before rendering the scene
you're having Cross-domain Policy problems (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Same-origin_policy) so the images are actually never loaded

Changing z rotation in three.js animation
