Point Text Helper

[jniac]

May someone find useful to display (debug) texts, small texts (max chars: 12), but a lot of texts (> 10k) ?

Here is a tool i made, because i need it.
Based on THREE.Points for fast drawing (instancing).
Any feedback will be highly appreciated.

Still wip, but on npm (typescript behind, so declaration are available)

Fine thing.

At the beginning of my work with three.js I wanted to see the arrangement of the vertices and faces, so I did something similar, but simpler with THREE.Line.

function vertexFaceNumbersHelper( mesh, mode, size, color ) {
	//  mode: 0 nothing, 1 vertex, 2 face, 3 vertex & face

Memorized there:

for BufferGeometry
Addon to create special / extended geometries Magic Sphere, Magic Box

for Geometry

Code also on GitHub

hi hofk, thx for the links

I write this tool because i want to achieve this

Procedural mesh

Hi there, hope everyone is fine. I would like to compute a procedural mesh that could look like the following : [Procedural-Mesh] I don’t know how to call it, it’s a kind of sphere, with kind of tentacles. It may look like a microbe. What should be parametric: The number of protuberances (tentacles) The size of protuberances Eventually the number of protuberance stage I think i can achieve this from an Icosahedron, by taking some group of 6 faces (w Poisson Disc for regularity), extrude/…

did you have any insights about this?

There exist the possibility to put HTML code instead of raw text?

Or can I put an Image instead?

Greetings

Definitively not. Possibilities are very limited (12 chars max). Text is drawn via shader seeking for glyphs in a table texture (atlas). It allows to draw an insane number of texts, but small texts (debugging purposes). The only options are : position, color, size

Got it. Many thanks as well.

Anyways its seems to be really useful, keep it up.
