[SOLVED] Raycaster - MultiMaterial

Starting from the example
http://threejs.live/#/webgl_interactive_buffergeometry
I created a simple example with THREE.CylinderBufferGeometry ().

However, this is indexed in contrast to the example given.
https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js/blob/master/src/geometries/CylinderGeometry.js
Then I still use OrbitControls.js.
I also used multi material, THREE.DoubleSide, THREE.FrontSide, THREE.BackSide.

Only the front side is detected. Even with material THREE.BackSide!
The script also contains a hidden custom geometry. The result is identical.

I’ve tried some things, no change - where’s my fault?

Try it out for yourself http://threejs.hofk.de/test/raycasterExample.html

Not sure, how actual it is, but take a look at this thread https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js/issues/9694

If to use just one material (not an array), then everything works fine with THREE.BackSide and THREE.DoubleSide as well.

Tested it too, I guess that’s the reason.

THREE. MultiMaterial was changed some time ago, only array has to be specified. But I suppose the statement is still valid?

Too bad, for my geometry I need 11 materials or more.

I have to find a suitable standard material for manipulating the geometry. The manipulation :gear: is in progress.

Yes. Some time ago, I’ve created a PR in order to solve this problem but the implementation was not satisfying. I hope we find a solution in the future.

If you need raycast with multiple materials as a feature in your project, you can pick my code of the mentioned PR as a workaround.

Thanks to Mugen87 :+1: [solved]

PR https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js/pull/11860 viewed.

Then used
three.js/Mesh.js at 82e866be2ffa752969af6efe96f91b5baab19c33 · Mugen87/three.js · GitHub
and replaced in three.js rev 89:
function Mesh( geometry, material ) { … }
Mesh.prototype = Object.assign( … )

It works! :relaxed: Try here: http://sandboxthreef.threejs.hofk.de/modifyRaycastMultiMaterial.html

Update: Bugfix auxilary plane position
