Geometry3DOptions
- ConeGeometryOptions

Properties

`Optional`attributes

attributes?: Record<string, Attribute>

A prebuilt attribute map, keyed by shader attribute name

Use it to supply your own buffers or interleaved layout. The names the other options fill are aPosition, aUV, aNormal, aTangent, aJoints, aWeights, aColor and aColor1.

With a map, the per-attribute options build nothing, so pass bounds3D too: a geometry with empty bounds is never culled, and picking never hits it.

Example

const geometry = new Geometry3D({
  attributes: { aPosition: { buffer, format: 'float32x3', stride: 12, offset: 0 } },
  bounds3D: new Box(new Vector3(-1, -1, -1), new Vector3(1, 1, 1)),
});

`Optional`bounds3D

bounds3D?: Box

The geometry's local bounding box; computed from float positions when omitted

Pass it when you already know the box, to skip scanning the positions. Integer positions throw without it, and need it in the values their format reads as: within -1 to 1 for snorm16x4, the stored integers for sint16x4.

Example

const geometry = new Geometry3D({
  positions,
  bounds3D: new Box(new Vector3(-1, -1, -1), new Vector3(1, 1, 1)),
});

`Optional`colors

colors?:
    | Float32Array<ArrayBufferLike>
    | Uint8Array<ArrayBufferLike>
    | Uint16Array<ArrayBufferLike>
    | Attribute

Vertex colours, four components per vertex (RGBA)

A Float32Array is used as floats; an integer array is read as normalized, 0 to 1. Widen RGB colours to RGBA with an opaque alpha first. BaseMaterial3D#vertexColors decides whether they tint.

Example

const red = new Uint8Array([255, 0, 0, 255, 255, 0, 0, 255, 255, 0, 0, 255]);
const geometry = new Geometry3D({ positions, colors: red });

`Optional`colors1

colors1?:
    | Float32Array<ArrayBufferLike>
    | Uint8Array<ArrayBufferLike>
    | Uint16Array<ArrayBufferLike>
    | Attribute

A second set of vertex colours, read as aColor1, with the same rules as colors

Materials never tint with it; only a custom shader bit that declares aColor1 reads it, which makes it the place for data that isn't really a colour, such as a wind mask.

Example

const geometry = new Geometry3D({ positions, colors1: windMask });

`Optional`dynamic

dynamic?: boolean

Draw the geometry from its own buffers, so later writes to them reach the screen

Set it when you rewrite the vertices every frame, as a trail or a particle system does. A dynamic geometry is never frustum-culled. Fixed at construction.

Default

false

Example

const trail = new Geometry3D({ positions: new Float32Array(64 * 3), dynamic: true });

app.ticker.add(() => {
  writeTrailPoints(trail.positions);
  trail.attributes.aPosition.buffer.update();
});

height

height: number

The total height of the cone along the Y axis

Default

Example

const spike = new ConeGeometry({ radius: 0.2, height: 3 });

heightSegments

heightSegments: number

The number of segments along the height

Floored, and clamped to a minimum of 1.

Default

Example

const bendable = new ConeGeometry({ heightSegments: 8 });

`Optional`indexCount

indexCount?: number

How many indices to draw, when that is fewer than the index buffer holds

0 draws the whole buffer. Only a dynamic geometry honours it; any other draws its whole index buffer. Use it to draw a prefix of an index buffer several geometries share.

Default

Example

const firstTen = new Geometry3D({ positions, indices: sharedQuadIndices, indexCount: 10 * 6, dynamic: true });

`Optional`indices

indices?: Uint16Array<ArrayBufferLike> | Uint32Array<ArrayBufferLike> | Buffer

Vertex indices, three per triangle for the default triangle-list topology

Left out, the vertices are drawn in order. A Uint16Array of odd length is copied into a Uint32Array. A Buffer is used as it is, so several geometries can share one.

Example

const quad = new Geometry3D({
  positions: new Float32Array([-1, -1, 0, 1, -1, 0, 1, 1, 0, -1, 1, 0]),
  indices: new Uint16Array([0, 1, 2, 0, 2, 3]),
});

`Optional`interleave

interleave?: boolean

Whether to pack the attributes into one interleaved buffer

Only a dynamic geometry draws from its own buffers; for any other, this changes how its own data is laid out, not how it draws. Per-triangle picking, a hitVolume of 'geometry', never hits an interleaved geometry.

Default

false

Example

const trail = new Geometry3D({ positions, colors, interleave: true, dynamic: true });

`Optional`joints

joints?: Uint8Array<ArrayBufferLike> | Uint16Array<ArrayBufferLike> | Attribute

Four bone indices per vertex, for skinning

Example

const geometry = new Geometry3D({ positions, joints: new Uint8Array(vertexCount * 4), weights });

`Optional`morphTargets

morphTargets?: {
normals?: Float32Array<ArrayBufferLike>;
positions: Float32Array;
}[]

Morph targets (blend shapes), each a set of per-vertex offsets from positions

A Mesh3D drawing the geometry blends the targets by its Mesh3D#weights. Normal offsets are used only when every target has them. A geometry morphs in one renderer only: once a second renderer draws it, even a new Application made after the first is destroyed, it draws unmorphed from then on and warns once.

Culling allows for weights from 0 to 1. For weights outside that range, pass a larger bounds3D.

Type Declaration

`Optional`normals?: Float32Array<ArrayBufferLike>

Offsets from the base normals, three floats per vertex

Example

const geometry = new Geometry3D({
  positions,
  normals,
  morphTargets: [{ positions: bulgeOffsets, normals: bulgeNormalOffsets }],
});

positions: Float32Array

Offsets from the base positions, three floats per vertex

Example

const raise = new Float32Array(vertexCount * 3);
for (let i = 1; i < raise.length; i += 3) raise[i] = 0.5;
const geometry = new Geometry3D({ positions, morphTargets: [{ positions: raise }] });

Example

const geometry = new Geometry3D({ positions, morphTargets: [{ positions: smileOffsets }] });
const face = new Mesh3D({ geometry, material, weights: new Float32Array([0.5]) });

`Optional`normals

normals?: Float32Array<ArrayBufferLike> | Attribute

Vertex normals, three floats per vertex

Without them the geometry shades as if every normal were (0, 0, 1), which suits unlit billboards and ribbons. quantizeNormals decides how they are stored.

Example

const geometry = new Geometry3D({ positions, normals });

openEnded

openEnded: boolean

When true, the base cap is skipped and only the side surface is generated

Default

false

Example

const funnel = new ConeGeometry({ openEnded: true });

`Optional`positions

positions?: Float32Array<ArrayBufferLike> | Attribute

Vertex positions, three floats per vertex

Integer positions come in as an Attribute, since only its format says how to read them: snorm as -1 to 1, unorm as 0 to 1, and sint or uint as the stored integers. An integer typed array throws. Pad 8- and 16-bit xyz to four components per vertex, and pass bounds3D.

Example

const triangle = new Geometry3D({ positions: new Float32Array([0, 1, 0, -1, -1, 0, 1, -1, 0]) });

`Optional`quantizeNormals

quantizeNormals?: boolean

Whether to store Float32Array normals as 16-bit signed integers

They then take 8 bytes per vertex instead of 12, with negligible visual difference. Read them back as floats with getAttributeData.

Default

true

Example

const geometry = new Geometry3D({ positions, normals, quantizeNormals: false });

`Optional`quantizeTangents

quantizeTangents?: boolean

Whether to store Float32Array tangents as 16-bit signed integers

They then take 8 bytes per vertex instead of 16, with negligible visual difference. Read them back as floats with getAttributeData.

Default

true

Example

const geometry = new Geometry3D({ positions, normals, tangents, quantizeTangents: false });

radialSegments

radialSegments: number

The number of segments around the circumference

Floored, and clamped to a minimum of 3.

Default

Example

const pyramid = new ConeGeometry({ radialSegments: 4 });

radius

radius: number

The radius of the base ring (at -height/2)

Default

Example

const wide = new ConeGeometry({ radius: 2 });

`Optional`shrinkBuffersToFit

shrinkBuffersToFit?: boolean

Whether the geometry's own GPU buffers may shrink to fit their data when it gets smaller

Default

false

Example

const geometry = new Geometry3D({ positions, shrinkBuffersToFit: true });

`Optional`tangents

tangents?: Float32Array<ArrayBufferLike> | Attribute

Vertex tangents, four floats per vertex: the tangent direction, then 1 or -1 for which way the bitangent points

Normal maps use them when present and otherwise derive a tangent frame per pixel. quantizeTangents decides how they are stored.

Example

const geometry = new Geometry3D({ positions, normals, uvs, tangents });

`Optional`topology

topology?: Topology

Primitive topology used when drawing the mesh

Default

'triangle-list'

Example

const wireframe = new Geometry3D({ positions, indices: edgeIndices, topology: 'line-list' });

`Optional`uvs

uvs?: Float32Array<ArrayBufferLike> | Attribute

Texture coordinates, two floats per vertex

Integer coordinates come in as an Attribute, read as integer positions are: unorm16x2 as 0 to 1, uint16x2 as the stored integers, which the material's BaseMaterial3D#uvTransform has to scale back down.

Example

const quad = new Geometry3D({ positions, uvs: new Float32Array([0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1]) });

`Optional`weights

weights?:
    | Float32Array<ArrayBufferLike>
    | Uint8Array<ArrayBufferLike>
    | Uint16Array<ArrayBufferLike>
    | Attribute

Four bone weights per vertex, matching joints

A Float32Array is used as floats; an integer array is read as normalized, 0 to 1.

Example

const geometry = new Geometry3D({ positions, joints, weights: new Float32Array(vertexCount * 4) });
