I am starting with THREE.js, and I am trying to draw a rectangle with a texture on it, lit by a single source of light. I think this is as simple as it gets (HTML omitted for brevity):
function loadScene() {
var world = document.getElementById('world'),
WIDTH = 1200,
HEIGHT = 500,
VIEW_ANGLE = 45,
ASPECT = WIDTH / HEIGHT,
NEAR = 0.1,
FAR = 10000,
renderer = new THREE.WebGLRenderer(),
camera = new THREE.Camera(VIEW_ANGLE, ASPECT, NEAR, FAR),
scene = new THREE.Scene(),
texture = THREE.ImageUtils.loadTexture('crate.gif'),
material = new THREE.MeshBasicMaterial({map: texture}),
// material = new THREE.MeshPhongMaterial({color: 0xCC0000});
geometry = new THREE.PlaneGeometry(100, 100),
mesh = new THREE.Mesh(geometry, material),
pointLight = new THREE.PointLight(0xFFFFFF);
camera.position.z = 200;
renderer.setSize(WIDTH, HEIGHT);
scene.addChild(mesh);
world.appendChild(renderer.domElement);
pointLight.position.x = 50;
pointLight.position.y = 50;
pointLight.position.z = 130;
scene.addLight(pointLight);
renderer.render(scene, camera);
}
The problem is, I cannot see anything. If I change the material and use the commented one, a square appears as I would expect. Note that
The texture is 256x256, so its sides are power of two
The function is actually called when the body is loaded; indeed it works with a different material.
It does not work even if I serve the file from a webserver, so it is not an issue of cross-domain policy not allowing to load the image.
What I am I doing wrong?
By the time the image is loaded, the renderer has already drawn the scene, hence it is too late. The solution is to change
texture = THREE.ImageUtils.loadTexture('crate.gif'),
into
texture = THREE.ImageUtils.loadTexture('crate.gif', {}, function() {
renderer.render(scene);
}),
Andrea solution is absolutely right, I will just write another implementation based on the same idea.
If you took a look at the THREE.ImageUtils.loadTexture() source you will find it uses the javascript Image object. The $(window).load event is fired after all Images are loaded ! so at that event we can render our scene with the textures already loaded...
CoffeeScript
$(document).ready ->
material = new THREE.MeshLambertMaterial(map: THREE.ImageUtils.loadTexture("crate.gif"))
sphere = new THREE.Mesh(new THREE.SphereGeometry(radius, segments, rings), material)
$(window).load ->
renderer.render scene, camera
JavaScript
$(document).ready(function() {
material = new THREE.MeshLambertMaterial({ map: THREE.ImageUtils.loadTexture("crate.gif") });
sphere = new THREE.Mesh(new THREE.SphereGeometry(radius, segments, rings), material);
$(window).load(function() {
renderer.render(scene, camera);
});
});
Thanks...
In version r75 of three.js, you should use:
var loader = new THREE.TextureLoader();
loader.load('texture.png', function ( texture ) {
var geometry = new THREE.SphereGeometry(1000, 20, 20);
var material = new THREE.MeshBasicMaterial({map: texture, overdraw: 0.5});
var mesh = new THREE.Mesh(geometry, material);
scene.add(mesh);
});
In version r82 of Three.js TextureLoader is the object to use for loading a texture.
Loading one texture (source code, demo)
Extract (test.js):
var scene = new THREE.Scene();
var ratio = window.innerWidth / window.innerHeight;
var camera = new THREE.PerspectiveCamera(75, window.innerWidth / window.innerHeight,
0.1, 50);
var renderer = ...
[...]
/**
* Will be called when load completes.
* The argument will be the loaded texture.
*/
var onLoad = function (texture) {
var objGeometry = new THREE.BoxGeometry(20, 20, 20);
var objMaterial = new THREE.MeshPhongMaterial({
map: texture,
shading: THREE.FlatShading
});
var mesh = new THREE.Mesh(objGeometry, objMaterial);
scene.add(mesh);
var render = function () {
requestAnimationFrame(render);
mesh.rotation.x += 0.010;
mesh.rotation.y += 0.010;
renderer.render(scene, camera);
};
render();
}
// Function called when download progresses
var onProgress = function (xhr) {
console.log((xhr.loaded / xhr.total * 100) + '% loaded');
};
// Function called when download errors
var onError = function (xhr) {
console.log('An error happened');
};
var loader = new THREE.TextureLoader();
loader.load('texture.jpg', onLoad, onProgress, onError);
Loading multiple textures (source code, demo)
In this example the textures are loaded inside the constructor of the mesh, multiple texture are loaded using Promises.
Extract (Globe.js):
Create a new container using Object3D for having two meshes in the same container:
var Globe = function (radius, segments) {
THREE.Object3D.call(this);
this.name = "Globe";
var that = this;
// instantiate a loader
var loader = new THREE.TextureLoader();
A map called textures where every object contains the url of a texture file and val for storing the value of a Three.js texture object.
// earth textures
var textures = {
'map': {
url: 'relief.jpg',
val: undefined
},
'bumpMap': {
url: 'elev_bump_4k.jpg',
val: undefined
},
'specularMap': {
url: 'wateretopo.png',
val: undefined
}
};
The array of promises, for each object in the map called textures push a new Promise in the array texturePromises, every Promise will call loader.load. If the value of entry.val is a valid THREE.Texture object, then resolve the promise.
var texturePromises = [], path = './';
for (var key in textures) {
texturePromises.push(new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
var entry = textures[key]
var url = path + entry.url
loader.load(url,
texture => {
entry.val = texture;
if (entry.val instanceof THREE.Texture) resolve(entry);
},
xhr => {
console.log(url + ' ' + (xhr.loaded / xhr.total * 100) +
'% loaded');
},
xhr => {
reject(new Error(xhr +
'An error occurred loading while loading: ' +
entry.url));
}
);
}));
}
Promise.all takes the promise array texturePromises as argument. Doing so makes the browser wait for all the promises to resolve, when they do we can load the geometry and the material.
// load the geometry and the textures
Promise.all(texturePromises).then(loadedTextures => {
var geometry = new THREE.SphereGeometry(radius, segments, segments);
var material = new THREE.MeshPhongMaterial({
map: textures.map.val,
bumpMap: textures.bumpMap.val,
bumpScale: 0.005,
specularMap: textures.specularMap.val,
specular: new THREE.Color('grey')
});
var earth = that.earth = new THREE.Mesh(geometry, material);
that.add(earth);
});
For the cloud sphere only one texture is necessary:
// clouds
loader.load('n_amer_clouds.png', map => {
var geometry = new THREE.SphereGeometry(radius + .05, segments, segments);
var material = new THREE.MeshPhongMaterial({
map: map,
transparent: true
});
var clouds = that.clouds = new THREE.Mesh(geometry, material);
that.add(clouds);
});
}
Globe.prototype = Object.create(THREE.Object3D.prototype);
Globe.prototype.constructor = Globe;
Without Error Handeling
//Load background texture
new THREE.TextureLoader();
loader.load('https://images.pexels.com/photos/1205301/pexels-photo-1205301.jpeg' , function(texture)
{
scene.background = texture;
});
With Error Handling
// Function called when download progresses
var onProgress = function (xhr) {
console.log((xhr.loaded / xhr.total * 100) + '% loaded');
};
// Function called when download errors
var onError = function (error) {
console.log('An error happened'+error);
};
//Function called when load completes.
var onLoad = function (texture) {
var objGeometry = new THREE.BoxGeometry(30, 30, 30);
var objMaterial = new THREE.MeshPhongMaterial({
map: texture,
shading: THREE.FlatShading
});
var boxMesh = new THREE.Mesh(objGeometry, objMaterial);
scene.add(boxMesh);
var render = function () {
requestAnimationFrame(render);
boxMesh.rotation.x += 0.010;
boxMesh.rotation.y += 0.010;
sphereMesh.rotation.y += 0.1;
renderer.render(scene, camera);
};
render();
}
//LOAD TEXTURE and on completion apply it on box
var loader = new THREE.TextureLoader();
loader.load('https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/97/The_Earth_seen_from_Apollo_17.jpg/1920px-The_Earth_seen_from_Apollo_17.jpg',
onLoad,
onProgress,
onError);

Use TextureLoader to load a image as texture and then simply apply that texture to scene background.
new THREE.TextureLoader();
loader.load('https://images.pexels.com/photos/1205301/pexels-photo-1205301.jpeg' , function(texture)
{
scene.background = texture;
});

I am new to three.js, and i am trying to use raycasting, i am quite confused with how raycasting would work on imported 3d models. Here i imported an obj model, and when i try to detect whether i touch with the imported 3D model, the funciton is not working as i expect. But when i change it to detect a box object i create with three.js, is working as i expected, can someone help with this problem?

The problem is that the object you get from OBJLoader and assign to your building variable is an instance of THREE.Group. Groups do not have an own geometry or material. They are more or less containers holding other 3D objects (like meshes, point clouds, lines or other groups) and representing them as a logical group.
That means they are never the result of a raycasting evaluation which means if(intersects[0].object.id === building.id) always fails.
I suggest you do this after the loading process which tags your objects:
building.traverse( function( object ) {
object.userData.tag = 'building';
} );
You can then use the tag property in your raycasting routine for detecting the building.
I'm setting up a website that loads 3d models in ply format, and I'm using Three.js with his PLYLOADER to do that.
My problem is that every model is loading in a different position. I've managed to make them load in a perpendicular way with the ground, but some of them are looking, some are looking far away from the camera and others look like they turn around a Y axis (not their center).

I need help to make them all load with the same camera position, looking centred and in the same size.
PS: If i can have better results loading in different extension, I'm up for it.
Thanks in advance
EDIT:
I updated the code with the help of #alex. Now my models are very well centered. The only thing missing now si a fixed camera position however the model was saved
Currently see two solutions here ( if i understand correctly )
You objects are not centered correctly. The solution would be to open the model files in a 3d editor and set them all to the same size and make their center points consistent.
Once you load the model add it to an Object3D and find its center.
Docs about that here: https://threejs.org/docs/#api/en/core/Object3D
the below code this.objectAll is the Object3D. Which is put into a box and we make the controls look at the center of that box. If all model are consistent then this should work.
this.boundingBox = new THREE.Box3();
this.boundingBox.setFromObject(this.objectAll);
this.boundingBox.center(this.controls.target);
Best of luck!
I have a cube that I'm trying to map an image onto. I'm loading the image with a loading Manager. I'm wondering why the material.map is returning as undefined, also wondering if maybe I have a scaling issue. The original image is 512x512. The boxes are 20x20x20.
I left out all the code about camera, renderer, etc., but I attempted to include it all in the code snippet/interactive part below.
var loadingManager = new THREE.LoadingManager();
loadingManager.onProgress = function (item, loaded, total) {
//Loading percentage
console.log(loaded / total * 100 + '%');
}
//Signify loading done
loadingManager.onLoad = function () {
//Start the animation when the models are done loading
animate();
}
function init() {
//create a loader
var loader2 = new THREE.TextureLoader(loadingManager);
//load the texture, and when it's done, push it into a material
loader2.load("../img/leo.jpg", function (texture) {
//do I need to do this?
texture.wrapS = texture.wrapT = THREE.RepeatWrapping
texture.repeat.set(boxSize, boxSize)
//why is this texture not coming through?
console.log(texture)
//does not work:
material1 = new THREE.MeshBasicMaterial({
map: texture,
side: THREE.DoubleSide
});
})
var geo = new THREE.BoxGeometry(30, 30, 30)
var mat = new THREE.MeshBasicMaterial({
color: 0xb7b7b7
})
mesh = new THREE.Mesh(geo, material1)
scene.add(mesh)
}
// This works, so I know the image path is correct
var img = document.createElement('img');
img.src = '../img/leo.jpg';
document.getElementById('container').appendChild(img);
The value of texture from the console log is this:
The error is related to the fact that you are associating the material outside the callback of the load function of your loader, you have to do that inside the callback.
From the documentation for TextureLoader:
onLoad - Will be called when load completes.
You have to do as follow:
loader2.load("../img/leo.jpg", function(texture) {
texture.wrapS = texture.wrapT = THREE.RepeatWrapping
texture.repeat.set( boxSize,boxSize )
//why is this texture 1 not coming through?
console.log(texture)
//neither of these work:
var geo = new THREE.BoxGeometry(30,30,30);
material1 = new THREE.MeshBasicMaterial({ map: texture,side: THREE.DoubleSide });
var mesh = new THREE.Mesh(geo, material1);
// animation loop
function animate() {
requestAnimationFrame( animate );
render();
// update stats
stats.update();
}
...
});
To make this more readable and avoid a callback nightmare do something like this:
function myInit(texture) {
...
}
loader2.load("../img/leo.jpg", myInit);
Today I've been experimenting with building my first ever skybox in three.js. I've read a lot of tutorials and the code I've ended up with is based on this one: http://learningthreejs.com/blog/2011/08/15/lets-do-a-sky/
I did make a few changes in order to allow for the images to load first, and to make it compatible with the version of three.js which I am using.
I've overcome a lot of small problems to get to the point I am currently at, but cannot find any answer to my current issue despite having searched quite hard. My problem is that despite using purpose-built skybox textures downloaded from the internet, it is glaringly obvious that my skybox is a cube with corners and edges. The textures appear heavily distorted and are not at all convincing.
Here is a screenshot of how my skybox looks:
And here is a link to the site from which I downloaded the images:
http://www.humus.name/index.php?page=Cubemap&item=Yokohama3
As you can see, in their preview it looks much better.
I've tried this with a few different downloaded textures and every time it is very obvious that you are looking at the inside of a cube.
Here's my code (I'm including all my code, not just the section which creates the skybox):

I suspect I am fundamentally misunderstanding something about how cubemapping and skyboxes work - I am very new to this in particular and javascript in general and am aware of huge gaps in my knowledge.
My apologies if the answer to this is obvious and/or the question has been asked before, and a pre-emptive thanks for your help!
Your camera needs to be in the center of the skybox -- or at least near the center.
So either move your camera very close to the box center, or update the box position every frame to match the camera position.
Or make the skybox much bigger relative to the camera offset from the origin.
Or place the skybox in a separate scene and have two cameras and two render passes, as in this example.
three.js r.74
i'm new in three.js and have a problem by scaling a object. I already looked at the documentation (https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js/wiki/Updates), but i don't really understand it at all.
My Problem: By changing a HTML-select-element the CubeGeometry should be scaled in the x-direction. That is already working BUT the "old" Cube do not disappear. So i have 2 Cubes. But i want only one Cube with the current size. I hope you can understand my problem ;-)
So here is my Code from the View:
$(document).on('change',".configurator > form select",function(event){
// update 3D-object - is that a nice way???
$.getScript("/javascripts/3D-animation.js.erb", function(){
// here comes the update
OBJECT3D.updateObject();
});
})
And here is my 3D-animation.js.erb:
var drawing_area;
var renderer;
var camera;
var obj;
var scene;
var OBJECT3D = {};
$(function() {
// get drawing_area
drawing_area = document.getElementById("canvas_wrapper");
// initialize renderer
renderer = new THREE.WebGLRenderer();
renderer.setSize(drawing_area.clientWidth, drawing_area.clientHeight);
renderer.setClearColor( 0xffffff, 1);
// add renderer to drawing_area
drawing_area.appendChild(renderer.domElement);
// initialize camera
camera = new THREE.PerspectiveCamera(45, drawing_area.clientWidth/drawing_area.clientHeight, 1, 100000);
camera.position.z = 1000;
camera.position.y = 100;
camera.position.x = 300;//-0.78;
// create texture
var texture = THREE.ImageUtils.loadTexture( "/images/materials/texture_1.jpg" );
texture.wrapS = THREE.RepeatWrapping;
texture.wrapT = THREE.RepeatWrapping;
texture.repeat.set( 1, 1 );
// create object
var obj_form = new THREE.CubeGeometry(250,250,250);
var obj_material = new THREE.MeshLambertMaterial( { map: texture,ambient: 0x999999 } );
OBJECT3D.obj = new THREE.Mesh(obj_form, obj_material);
// so what do i need here?
OBJECT3D.obj.geometry.dynamic = true;
// OBJECT3D.obj.geometry.__dirtyVertices = true;
// OBJECT3D.obj.geometry.__dirtyNormals = true;
// OBJECT3D.obj.geometry.verticesNeedUpdate = true;
// create scene
scene = new THREE.Scene();
scene.add(camera);
scene.add(OBJECT3D.obj);
// create lights
pointLight = new THREE.PointLight(0xFFFFFF);
pointLight.position.x = 400;
pointLight.position.y = 200;
pointLight.position.z = 1300;
scene.add(pointLight);
ambientLight = new THREE.AmbientLight( 0xffffff);
scene.add( ambientLight );
requestAnimationFrame(render);
function render(){
requestAnimationFrame(render);
OBJECT3D.obj.rotation.y += 0.005;
OBJECT3D.obj.rotation.z += 0.005;
renderer.render(scene, camera);
};
// update object
OBJECT3D.updateObject = function () {
console.log("in update");
OBJECT3D.obj.scale.x = 2.5; // SCALE
OBJECT3D.obj.geometry.needsUpdate = true;
//render();
}
});
Sorry, if the Code is not the best one, but i'm really new in this stuff! :) hope you can help me!
Thanks!
I think it is because you are using $.getScript method. This will load your script each time again and create a new instance of OBJECT3D.
I propose that you make sure that your code in 3D-animation.js.erb will be included and called only once upon the load of a page (include it just like any other regular javascript file) and then call your update directly like this:
$(document).on('change',".configurator > form select", function(event) {
OBJECT3D.updateObject();
});
also, I believe you can drop following lines of code:
OBJECT3D.obj.geometry.needsUpdate = true;
and
OBJECT3D.obj.geometry.dynamic = true;
