I am knew to WebGL and Three js having been able to get enough code together to be able to add 25K BoxGeometry Meshes and about 200 models which move simultaneously and interact with the BoxGeometry.
I need to be able to move the camera smoothly through these boxes.
So, I have tried to merge all the geometry together (got that idea from a google search) and that made the performance worse.
I watched several YouTube videos and did not a lot about performance.
I am currently using mrdoob-three.js-4bab468 if that helps.
The functions addCube20 addCube40 are called a little over 25,000 times with different coordinates to display at.
then they are not called again unless something in the scene alters their position.
MJMotion.js is my keyboard camera view controls that do not need to be included. You can remove them by altering the render section taking out
keyboardControls();
updateCamera();
and replacing them with your own controls.
this thing gets about 3 fps.

I have found the issue. It is the materials. If I use images it slows down to 7 fps. If I use something simple like a MeshNormalMaterial it works at 60fps.
Is there any way to rectify this?

I have a piece of code from 3 years ago that appears to not be working anymore from Three.js.
I have updated all of the other issues of the migration to ES6 for Three.js, but when I try to add as I did in the past more than 1 place marker on the planet surface, only 1 place marker is displayed, with only the last added place marker being successfully displayed in the desired position... with all other place markers being erased.
Problem example -> https://jsfiddle.net/jhL6s579/6/

You have to derive your custom classes Marker and Earth in ES6 now. Meaning you have to use the class syntax like below since Object3D is now a class, too.
// ------ Marker object ------------------------------------------------
class Marker extends THREE.Object3D {
constructor() {
super();
var radius = 0.005;
var sphereRadius = 0.02;

var material = new THREE.MeshPhongMaterial({
color: 0xbab68f
});
var cone = new THREE.Mesh(new THREE.ConeBufferGeometry(radius, height, 8, 1, true), material);
cone.position.y = height * 0.5;
cone.rotation.x = Math.PI;
var sphere = new THREE.Mesh(new THREE.SphereBufferGeometry(sphereRadius, 16, 8), material);
sphere.position.y = height * 0.95 + sphereRadius;
this.add(cone, sphere);
}
}
// ------ Earth object -------------------------------------------------
class Earth extends THREE.Object3D {
constructor(radius, texture) {
super();
this.userData.radius = radius;
var earth = new THREE.Mesh(
new THREE.SphereBufferGeometry(radius, 64.0, 48.0),
new THREE.MeshPhongMaterial({
map: texture
})
);
this.add(earth);
}
createMarker(lat, lon) {
var marker = new Marker();
var lonRad = -lon * (Math.PI / 180);
var latRad = lat * (Math.PI / 180);
var r = this.userData.radius;
marker.position.set(Math.cos(latRad) * Math.cos(lonRad) * r, Math.sin(latRad) * r, Math.cos(latRad) * Math.sin(lonRad) * r);
marker.rotation.set(0.0, -lonRad, latRad - Math.PI * 0.5);
this.attach(marker);
}

I've created two 3JS objects and scenes for learning purposes. Both housed in separate PHP files (not in the jsfiddle). However, I can't figure out why by adding a second object the first object stops animating and doesn't run anymore? How can I go about figuring out why my objects are canceling one another out and how to create two different or more multiple threejs items that animate at the same time?
//GRID OBJ is the first object, and the second is //BALL
When I remove the second script calling for 3js ball the grid will animate, when the ball is added the grid stops animating and only the ball animates.

You create 2 THREE.WebGLRenderer objects, but both assigned to the variable renderer. This breaks down the animation of the first (grid) object in the function renderGrid.
In your code are created 2 different scenes referenced by 2 different variables (sceneTop, scene2). Create 2 different render objects, referenced by 2 different variables (renderer, renderer2), too:
var scene2 = new THREE.Scene();
scene2.background = new THREE.Color( 0x08080c);
var renderer2 = new THREE.WebGLRenderer({alpha: true});
renderer2.setClearColor( 0x000000, 0 );
// [...]
renderer2.setSize(window.innerWidth, window.innerHeight);
renderer2.setClearColor(background, 1);
container.appendChild(renderer2.domElement);
function renderGrid() {
// [...]
renderer2.render(scene2, camera2);
}
In the following you have to respect, that renderer corresponds to camera respectively sceneTop, but renderer2 corresponds to scene2 and camera2:
var camera = new THREE.PerspectiveCamera(100, window.innerWidth/window.innerHeight, 0.1, 1000);
[...]
camera.position.z = 90;
function myrender(){
// [...]
renderer.render(sceneTop, camera);
requestAnimationFrame(myrender);
}
See the example, where I applied the suggested changes to your original code:
//GRID OBJ
var container = document.getElementById('grid')
var vertexHeight = 90,
planeDefinition = 25,
planeSize = 900,
totalObjects = 1,

camera2.position.y = 500;
var scene2 = new THREE.Scene();

var renderer2 = new THREE.WebGLRenderer({alpha: true});
renderer2.setClearColor( 0x000000, 0 );
var planeGeo = new THREE.PlaneGeometry(planeSize, planeSize, planeDefinition, planeDefinition);
var plane = new THREE.Mesh(planeGeo, new THREE.MeshBasicMaterial({

Alternatively both scenes can be rendered to different parts of the viewport.
Create 1 THREE.WebGLRenderer, with the .autoClear property set to false:
var renderer = new THREE.WebGLRenderer({alpha: true, preserveDrawingBuffer: true});
renderer.setSize(window.innerWidth, window.innerHeight);
renderer.setClearColor( 0x000000, 0 );
renderer.autoClear = false;
document.body.appendChild(renderer.domElement);
Render both scenes 2 different parts of the viewport. The viewport rectangle can be changed by .setViewport:
function myrender(){
// [...]
renderer.setViewport(0,0,window.innerWidth, window.innerHeight);
renderer.clear();
renderer.setViewport(window.innerWidth/2,0,window.innerWidth/2, window.innerHeight);
renderer.render(sceneTop, camera, 0, false);
renderer.setViewport(0,0,window.innerWidth/2, window.innerHeight);
renderer.render(scene2, camera2, 0, false);
requestAnimationFrame(myrender);
}
Ensure that the .background property is only set for the THREE.Scene which is rendered first.
See the example:
//GRID OBJ
var container = document.getElementById('grid')
var vertexHeight = 90,
planeDefinition = 25,
planeSize = 900,

How can I preserve constant size of meshes regardless of perspective using Three.js?
Lets assume I have multiple meshes of the same size. I want them to always have the same on screen size. I also have to use perspective camera.
I have found some related answers, but seems that I miss something:
First approach is to use Euclidean distance to objects from
camera and scale them respectively every animation frame.
Three JS Keep Label Size On Zoom
I have tried to modify jsfiddle given in the answer to apply scale to meshes instead of sprites, but that doesn't work for me. The result looks as follows https://jsfiddle.net/a2ogz9vx/258/
var camera, scene, renderer, controls;
var planets = [];
var timestamp = 0;
var scaleVector = new THREE.Vector3();
init();
animate();
function init() {
scene = new THREE.Scene();
camera = new THREE.PerspectiveCamera(90, window.innerWidth / window.innerHeight, 1, 10000);
camera.position.set(0, 100, 100);
renderer = new THREE.WebGLRenderer({
antialias: true
});
renderer.setSize(window.innerWidth, window.innerHeight);
document.body.appendChild(renderer.domElement);
controls = new THREE.OrbitControls(camera, renderer.domElement);
var createPlanet = function(name, radius, orbit, speed) {
var geom = new THREE.SphereGeometry(radius, 32, 16);
var mat = new THREE.MeshBasicMaterial({
color: Math.random() * 0xFFFFFF,
});
var planet = new THREE.Mesh(geom, mat);
planet.userData.orbit = orbit;
planet.userData.speed = speed;
var canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
canvas.width = 256;
canvas.height = 256;
var tex = new THREE.Texture(canvas);
tex.needsUpdate = true;
var spriteMat = new THREE.SpriteMaterial({
map: tex
});
var sprite = new THREE.Sprite(spriteMat);
planet.add(sprite);
planets.push(planet);
scene.add(planet);
};
createPlanet("One", 11, -10, 5);
createPlanet("Two", 11, 5, 5);
createPlanet("Three", 11, 10, 5);
}
function animate() {
requestAnimationFrame(animate);
planets.forEach(function(planet) {
var scaleFactor = 100;
var scale = scaleVector.subVectors(planet.position, camera.position).length() / scaleFactor;
planet.scale.set(scale, scale, scale);
var orbit = planet.userData.orbit;
var speed = planet.userData.speed;
planet.position.x = speed * orbit;
planet.position.z = speed * orbit;
});
render();
}
function render() {
renderer.render(scene, camera);

Second approach is to use on screen width calculation. https://stackoverflow.com/a/13351534/8465699

Any suggestions how to fix the code or other approaches are welcome!
I'm trying to add a lamp to my scene with an OBJLoader object. The object is exported from Blender. If I set its children[i].castShadow property to true the following errors show up but still it appears and its shadow can be seen on the wall:
What am I doing wrong? If and when I add some other object to my scene and set its castShadow property to true I get no error messages whatsoever. This is the only problematic object I have currently.
One more thing. My project won't work in Firefox, but it displays in Edge or Chrome for example. What is so special about Firefox?

I was doing a Three js tutorial and this code should cast shadows, but when render shadows does not exists over the plane.
What is wrong on code? I'm reading documentation and other codes and I can not find the problem.
Best regards!
EDIT:
If i make a loop with requestAnimationFrame just works... but only in that case... why?

three.js r.74 and r.75 have a bug in which shadows are not always rendered in the first call to render(). This bug has been fixed in three.js r.76dev.
Your work-around is to call renderer.render( scene, camera ) a 2nd time, or to have an animation loop.
