TriangleGeometry generator

I noticed Three JS primitives exclude triangular planes. After an unsuccessful PR to remedy the issue, I decided to put the code in a GitHub repo. It’s available, should anyone else find it useful.

For a side-side-side project I’m working on, at some point I will like to collect Three.js modules that are neither in the core, nor in the addons of Three.js. Your TriangleGeometry will perfectly fit in this category.

I would suggest a few features for TriangleGeometry. Disclaimer: I do not know whether they are useful, treat them just as ideas:

  • alternative constructor by three Vector3 objects (reason: whenever I needed just a triangle, it was always by three 3D points)
  • alternative constructor from Triangle
  • convertor to Triangle
  • merger that packs an array of TriangleGeometry objects into a single BufferGeometry
  • splitter that takes a BufferGeometry and returns an array of TriangleGeometry objects
