mathisfun very nice to see all these shapes… some of them i will code as well… they have hiden their code wel… would love to see how they did it…
great stuff from yourself as well… congratulations…
have some things in mind i like to produce as well… this issue with these not normal normal colors per facets is a bit disturbing cause it makes the final rendering/look of the shape a bit off… would like to fix it…
you are always welcome with helping hands… have lots to do… and only 2 hands and 24hrs a day…
yes… absolutely related… found this article… it also has similar issues as i have…
it also says… use Phong instead of Lambert
think i will use Phong… as work around cause calculating my own normals is very far fetched for me if i look at these codes from hofk for instance… waaaay out of reach for my current knowledge…
today i coded the shapes in a way it relates to the radius attribute so i can set the size of the shape on creation…
One more option is to convert your custom indexed buffer geometries to non-indexed ones (use .toNonIndexed() method) and call .computeVertexNormals(). Should work even with THREE.MeshLambertMaterial()
i dont understand what you say there… my shapes are custom indexed… what does that mean…???
where would i need to add the attribute/command
.toNonIndexed()
and then next… where do i put…
.computeVertexNormals()
this newby without real understanding three.js… just opened a buffered dodecahedron file
added some own vertices, added the faceconnects and assumed it would work…
since i only know Maya, and Maya does all these things for me, calculating normals and so on…
i am starting to see and understand, in three.js i need to code all these things Maya does auto, i need to code them in manually in Three.js… and there my knowledge is just lacking and want to learn to understand it… cause i have more things on my list i want to construct… so a deeper understanding on Three.js is needed… and also very lovely to learn… cause i learn geometry in new ways… and especially the math behind it… there is a fancy curve i created around scene center (0,0,0) in pure math… and that curve i like to code in 3dspace between two arbitrary points in pure math… no luck sofar cause my math knowledge is seriously lacking, working on it for 2 years now by trail and error cause i dont really understand the math explanations on wikipedia or youtube or any courses i bought… am asking around for people to help me… little like… please hold my hand till i can walk on my own… so i am now going to build it like HofK is showing… i saw in his code he does everything one by one… so i hope to learn a lot from doing it this spreadout wide way… then later learn to simplify it… cheers to you all for helping me out… i am really gratefull… thank you…
the documentation is for me pretty hard to understand, how i need to read it… to me it looks like it is written in a way that people with some more experience than me use it…
but i need deeper understanding, so am going at it step by step…
cant run before i can walk…
thats a very crispy and sharp rhombic dodeca… hehe… thx…
working on the code HofK gave me… gives me a more clear understanding what it all enholds… coding geometry from scratch… i hope it works…
else its good to know there is a fallback system in place…
is my assumption correct…
when i code it myself in the way HofK is showing… the calculations are all done on the GPU, but when i use your solution the compute vertex normals is done on th CPU…???
i often wonder why the stats… frames per second go down so heavily when i only show one shape rotating…
indeed… you right… Javascript is CPU…
i’m just wandering around… so much info coming at me… trying to get it straight… sry for asking silly retorical questions … oops…
think i’m learning a lot from doing it all line by line…
puts attention to what i am doing…
herewidth the fiddle that shows the results of this thread, all new shapes have with prisoner849 solutions, first set the shapes to nonIndexed, then compute the normals, use flatschaded material.
and all is as it should be…
thank you guys… issue solved…
Well, you can’t just place images into a 3D scene. A typical workflow is to create a PlaneGeometry and use it to create a mesh with a textured material that represents your image.
