Hello. I have a question.

Is the pointsmaterial the default shape square? I want a circle shape.

Should I use a sprite to make a circle like the following link? I just want circles.

Thank you!

THREE.PointsMaterial has no influence on this. It’s defined by WebGL that points are rendered as squares. If you need a different shape like a circle, use a texture like in the mentioned example.
