I’ve recently used this code for a stackoverflow post. It shows how to create a basic loading screen with THREE.LoadingManager and a HTML based overlay with nice CSS animations. The loading screen disappears, as soon as all assets are loaded.
Demo: https://jsfiddle.net/sojzu8a5/1/
If you don’t like the visuals of the loading screen, no problem. There is a huge selection of CSS loader animations:
Nice. I’ll need to see if I can bum some of this and improve my loader stuff.
That trooper really has some dope moves! He pumpin’ it.
does this works in WebVR?
No. All these loading indicators are just overlays on top of the screen. This type of UI elements is also called “non-diegetic” or screen-space UI elements and does not work in VR.
Instead, you need spatial or “diegetic” UI elements. There is a nice guide of the Unity documentation that explains this topic very well:

I found the Stack Overflow post and working example. Thanks @Mugen87!

Mind sharing the link to your Stack Overflow post? I’m looking into using a custom loading indicator with THREE.LoadingManager but need a good resource to start!
Hi, I have a project which loads a bunch of 3D models, and I want to create a loading screen. Is the LoadingManager the way to go then? I was expecting that I’ll have a loading screen in the onProgress part of the OBJLoader.
When you load multiple models, you have to work with LoadingManager.
