3D Text not rendering properly

You’re running into some migration issues. A lot has changed since version r148. Keep in mind that breaking changes are typically introduced every 10 versions. Between r148 and r175, the biggest changes involve lighting and color management.

Check out these migration guides for more details:

  • :light_bulb: Lighting: Updates to lighting in three.js r155
    Most of the changes affect light intensity. Try tweaking the values to see how they translate in the new version.

  • :artist_palette: Color Management: Updates to Color Management in three.js r152
    The main updates involve color encoding. About 90% of the time, you’ll need to set the appropriate colorSpace on your textures. If you’re not using textures or custom shaders, you’re likely unaffected.

  • :warning: Console warnings: Keep an eye on the console (F12) and read the warnings. It will let you know if any properties are deprecated, need replacing, or are no longer supported.
