Advanced tools
a library on top of three.js to help in creating 3D user interfaces, with minor changes ;)
📢 7.x.x is in evaluation, check it out here https://github.com/felixmariotto/three-mesh-ui/pull/223
three-mesh-ui is a small library for building VR user interfaces. The objects it creates are three.object3Ds, usable directly in a three.js scene like any other Object3D.
It is not a framework, but a minimalist library to be used with the last version of three.js. It has no dependency but three.js.
In a normal three.js workflow, the common practice is to build user interfaces with HTML/CSS.
In immersive VR, it is impossible, therefore this library was created.
Give it a try in this jsFiddle
Using react-three-fiber ? Here is a codesandbox to get started.
npm install three-mesh-ui
:warning: It requires three as peer dependency
import ThreeMeshUI from 'three-mesh-ui'
const ThreeMeshUI = require('three-mesh-ui');
<!-- Defines the import map -->
<script async src="https://unpkg.com/es-module-shims@1.3.6/dist/es-module-shims.js"></script>
<script type="importmap">
{
"imports": {
"three": "https://unpkg.com/three@0.132.2/build/three.module.js",
"three-mesh-ui": "https://unpkg.com/three-mesh-ui@6.4.0/build/three-mesh-ui.module.js"
}
}
</script>
<!-- Then we can code our app -->
<script type="module">
import * as THREE from "three";
import * as ThreeMeshUI from "three-mesh-ui";
// code goes here ...
</script>
:muscle: You can use the minified version named three-mesh-ui.module.min.js (codesandbox demo)
<!-- As three-mesh-ui has a peer dependency on three.js -->
<!-- Be sure to load three before three-mesh-ui -->
<script src="https://unpkg.com/three@0.132.2/build/three.js"></script>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/three-mesh-ui@6.4.1/build/three-mesh-ui.js"></script>
<!-- Then we can code our app -->
<script>
/* global THREE, ThreeMeshUI */
// code goes here ...
</script>
:muscle: You can use the minified version named three-mesh-ui.min.js (codesandbox demo)
:warning: Although this would theorically allows you to build 'something', loading js libraries instead of using jsm, might restrict the global features you would have. This is true for both three and three-mesh-ui libraries.
In order to display some text with three-mesh-ui, you will need to provide font files.
You can use the two files named Roboto-msdf
in this directory, or create your own font files
Here is an example of basic three-mesh-ui usage :
const container = new ThreeMeshUI.Block({
width: 1.2,
height: 0.7,
padding: 0.2,
fontFamily: './assets/Roboto-msdf.json',
fontTexture: './assets/Roboto-msdf.png',
});
//
const text = new ThreeMeshUI.Text({
content: "Some text to be displayed"
});
container.add( text );
// scene is a THREE.Scene (see three.js)
scene.add( container );
// This is typically done in the render loop :
ThreeMeshUI.update();
