Using sprite object and material in threejs editor

[makman]

Hello again very helpful community!
(designer here still learning the basics of programing)

I see the the threejs editor has a sprite object and material.

I have been watching tutorials and reading documents. But I have still not had any success setting up a sprite within the editor.

Could someone please let me know:

• what the specs are for the sprite sheet I should create? And is this .png then uploaded to “map” in the sprite material?

• what script should I write in the editors script window to run the sprite properly?

Thanks in advance!!

The main purpose of a sprite is to represent a plane that always faces towards the camera. THREE.Sprite does not automatically support sprite sheets since you need specific texture transformations for using them. More details right here: How to draw a tilemap in three.js? - #2 by Mugen87

Correct.

@makman

Can you please explain in more detail what you mean by that? It seems you have certain expectations when you say “run the sprite properly”.
