Three.js

Discover the basics of Three.js, a powerful JavaScript library for creating 3D graphics on the web. This beginner's guide will walk you through setting up Three.js, adding 3D objects, and animating your scenes. Perfect for developers looking to enhance their web applications with stunning 3D visuals.

Cube

Adding 3D object

Cast Shadow

Creating Ground Plane

Create a shadow-receiving ground plane and position the camera 5 units away in the scene for perspective.

Add Directional Light

Add a bright directional light that casts shadows to illuminate the scene effectively.

Defining animation variables

Defining animation variables sets initial states for controlling rotation and animation speed in a Three.js scene.

function start animate

The animate function keeps the scene updated and renders object rotations, like the cube, when rotation is activated.

function stop animate

The stopAnimate function stops the cube from rotating and animating, ensuring it continues to cast shadows in the scene.

function toggleRotation

toggleRotation function changes the object's rotation direction on all axes, allowing control over its animation.

function showShadow

The showShadow function enables or disables shadows in the scene by adjusting properties of the cube and ground.

function ambient light

The showAmbientLight function adds a soft background light to the 3D scene, improving visibility and enhancing the scene's overall appearance.

function Directional Light

The showDirectionalLight function adds a directional light to the scene, enhancing 3D visuals with adjustable shadows and specific lighting direction.

function showSpot light

The showSpotLight function adds a focused spotlight to enhance directional lighting and shadow effects in the 3D scene.

GUI

The GUI interface simplifies adjusting cube rotation, camera position, and scaling in the 3D scene.

adding color

This code makes it easy to choose colors by adding interactive color pickers for each property in the obj object, simplifying color customization.

Adding Buttons

Buttons are used to provide interactive controls for users in the web page. Each button in the provided HTML code is associated with an onclick attribute that calls a specific JavaScript function when clicked.

Creating Texture and Creating path on which cube will move

The textured cube in the code is used to create visually appealing 3D graphics by applying an image ('images.jpeg') onto its surface. This technique enhances realism and detail in 3D scenes.
This code generates a 3D path using specified points and displays it as a red line in a Three.js scene. It also makes sure that any 3D model inside a cube will cast shadows. This is helpful for visualizing routes or moving objects along a defined path in a 3D space.
