How to change the gap of the sawtooth problem

I modified MeshPhysicalMaterial through shader to achieve the effect of seam after material placement. However, the gap is serrated. How to achieve the anti-serrated effect?

material.userData.uniforms={
gap:{value:0.01},
   gapColor:{value:new THREE.Color("#000000")}
}
material.onBeforeCompile=function(shader){
shader.uniforms.gap=material.userData.uniforms.gap;
shader.uniforms.gapColor=material.userData.uniforms.gapColor;
 shader.fragmentShader =
 `
uniform float gap;
 uniform vec3 gapColor;
` + shader.fragmentShader;
shader.fragmentShader = shader.fragmentShader.replace(
 `#include <map_fragment>`,
 `
#ifdef USE_MAP
vec4 texelColor = abs(mod(vUv.x,1.))>1.-gap || abs(mod(vUv.x,1.))<gap || abs(mod(vUv.y,1.))>1.-gap || abs(mod(vUv.y,1.))<gap ?  vec4(gapColor, 1):texture2D( map, vUv )  ;
texelColor = mapTexelToLinear( texelColor );
diffuseColor *= texelColor;
#endif
 `);

I’ve set up the renderer

renderer = new THREE.WebGLRenderer( { antialias: true } );
renderer.setPixelRatio( window.devicePixelRatio );
renderer.setSize( window.innerWidth, window.innerHeight );

I would recommend adding a 1 pixel transparent border around your texture and shift that by your gap as you need in the shader, mipmaps don’t cover your approach.

Functions smoothstep() and fwidth() can help.
Don’t forget to enable derivatives in shaders: planeMat.extensions = {derivatives: true};

Thank you very much for your solution. I have been trying to solve this problem all afternoon. But I think your code will be better. I will continue to improve!

#ifdef USE_MAP
vec4 texelColor = texture2D( map, vUv );
texelColor = abs(mod(vUv.x,1.))>1.-gap || abs(mod(vUv.x,1.))<gap || abs(mod(vUv.y,1.))>1.-gap || abs(mod(vUv.y,1.))<gap ? vec4(gapColor, 0.5):texelColor;
texelColor=vec4(mix(gapColor,texelColor.xyz,smoothstep(0.0,0.005,abs(mod(vUv.x,1.)-gap))),0.0);
texelColor=vec4(mix(gapColor,texelColor.xyz,smoothstep(0.0,0.005,abs(mod(vUv.x,1.)-(1.-gap)))),0.0);
texelColor=vec4(mix(gapColor,texelColor.xyz,smoothstep(0.0,0.005,abs(mod(vUv.y,1.)-gap))),0.0);
texelColor=vec4(mix(gapColor,texelColor.xyz,smoothstep(0.0,0.005,abs(mod(vUv.y,1.)-(1.-gap)))),0.0);
texelColor = mapTexelToLinear( texelColor );
diffuseColor *= texelColor;

#endif

planeMat.extensions = {derivatives: true};

What does it do? :sweat_smile: :sweat_smile: :sweat_smile:

Adds this line to the beginning of the shader:

#extension GL_OES_standard_derivatives : enable

this allows to use fwidth()

Can’t properly look into it as i’m mobile right now, but i still get choppy edges

@Fyrestar
I have them too at small angles of view, but not as bad as on your pic

UPD
Slight change:

float e = length(fe) * 0.5; //min(fe.x, fe.y) * 0.5;

1、 float e = length(fe) * 0.5;

2、min(fe.x, fe.y) * 0.5;

The first one looks better than the second one
