i need a (nameplate) sprite without sizeAttenuation in Three.js and it should looks like this example:
//load image with 256x128px 32bit png
var spriteMap = new THREE.TextureLoader().load("tex/plates/mytest.png");
var spriteMat = new THREE.SpriteMaterial({map:spriteMap, transparent:true, sizeAttenuation:false});
var sprite = new THREE.Sprite(spriteMat);
...
spriteMat.map.minFilter = THREE.NearestFilter;
The result is not blurry, but its not correctly and hav some artefacts what i dont want:
Here is my second try with (THREE.LinearFilter), also not what i want cos its too blurry:
Renderer size: 1200x800px (not full window)
So, i dont know if its a problem with the filter, position or scaling. The first example seems like a bitmap text, but i really dont know how i can solve this problem. I also dont need a 2d sprite in screenspace. I need the nameplate in 3d worldspace behind other objects. I have really no idea how i can solve this, pls anyone can help me with this problem?

I have a Box Mesh where I subtract another Box with Three.CSG to create a wall with a window.
After doing so, there are tiny holes in the Mesh alongside the cut. They are not visible alle the time, but show up when moving around.
How to close these holes?
This is part of the code how I am creating the Mesh:
var wallBsp = new ThreeBSP( myWallMesh );
var subMesh = new THREE.Mesh( mygeo );
var subBsp = new ThreeBSP( subMesh );
var subtract_bsp = wall_bsp.subtract( subBsp );
var result = subtract_bsp.toMesh();
result.material.shading = THREE.FlatShading;
result.geometry.computeVertexNormals();

I have created a jsfiddle, but it is difficult to reproduce the error, I couldnt make it visible there: http://jsfiddle.net/L0rdzbej/23/
However, you can see the full application here.
Like #gaitat suggested, geometry.mergeVertices() does not look like it changes anything for me. Chandler Prall hinted at the source where precisionPoints, which is a variable inside the mergeVertices function, could solve this. Depending on the scale of the scene its value should be lower or negative, but I had no success so far.
I'm struggeling with textures on objects that are a bit farther back in the scene. The textures become very jagged, and creates a disturbing effect as the camera moves. I've tried changing the anisotropy, and I've tried changing the min and mag filters, but nothing seems to help at all.
Code I'm using to load textures (all textures are 1024px by 1024px):
var texture = new THREE.Texture();
var texloader = new THREE.ImageLoader(manager);
texloader.load('static/3d/' + name + '.jpg', function (image) {
texture.image = image;
texture.needsUpdate = true;
texture.anisotropy = 1;
texture.minFilter = THREE.LinearFilter;
texture.magFilter = THREE.LinearMipmapLinearFilter;
});
You can see it in action here: http://www.90595.websys.sysedata.no/
gaitat is wrong, you do want the mipmaps.
The problem with your code is that they are not generated.
Using the console, I found that while "generateMipmaps" in your textures is set to "true", mipmaps are not generated, as seen in this screenshot: http://imgur.com/hAUEaur.
I looked at your textures, and I believe the mipmaps weren't generated due to your textures not being a power of 2 (e.g. 128x128, 256x256, 512x512). Try making your textures of width and height that are powers of 2 and I think the mipmaps will be generated and they won't look jagged anymore.
As objects move further away from the camera webgl uses textures automatically generated called mipmaps. These are of lower resolution. If you don't like them disable them by:
texture.generateMipmaps = false;
Okay. So I thought I'd tried all the different mipmap filters, but apparently no. So this is what ended up doing the trick:
texture.minFilter = THREE.NearestMipMapNearestFilter;
texture.magFilter = THREE.LinearMipMapLinearFilter;
Didn't need the anisotropy at all.
For some time, I've been trying to figure out how to do an object selection outline in my game. (So the player can see the object over everything else, on mouse-over)
This is how the result should look:
The solution I would like to use goes like this:
Layer 1: Draw model in regular shading.
Layer 2: Draw a copy in red color, scaled along normals using vertex shader.
Mask: Draw a black/white flat color of the model to use it as a stencil mask for the second layer, to hide insides and show layer 1.
And here comes the problem. I can't really find any good learning materials about masks. Can I subtract the insides from the outline shape? What am I doing wrong?
I can't figure out how to stack my render passes to make the mask work. :(
Here's a jsfiddle demo
renderTarget = new THREE.WebGLRenderTarget(window.innerWidth, window.innerHeight, renderTargetParameters)
composer = new THREE.EffectComposer(renderer, renderTarget)
// composer = new THREE.EffectComposer(renderer)
normal = new THREE.RenderPass(scene, camera)
outline = new THREE.RenderPass(outScene, camera)
mask = new THREE.MaskPass(maskScene, camera)
// mask.inverse = true
clearMask = new THREE.ClearMaskPass
copyPass = new THREE.ShaderPass(THREE.CopyShader)
copyPass.renderToScreen = true
composer.addPass(normal)
composer.addPass(outline)
composer.addPass(mask)
composer.addPass(clearMask)
composer.addPass(copyPass)
Also I have no idea whether to use render target or renderer for the source of the composer. :( Should I have the first pass in the composer at all? Why do I need the copy pass? So many questions, I know. But there are just not enough resources to learn from, I've been googling for days.
Thanks for any advice!
Here's a js fiddle with working solution. You're welcome. :)

Update with only two render passes (credit to WestLangley):
http://jsfiddle.net/Eskel/g593q/9/
The pieces missing were these:
composer.renderTarget1.stencilBuffer = true
composer.renderTarget2.stencilBuffer = true
outline.clear = false
Now I think I've found a bit simpler solution, from the THREEx library. It pre-scales the mesh so you dont need a realtime shader for it.

I want to get the exact intersection point of a ray and a sprite. But when I do this:
var ray = new THREE.Raycaster( camera.position, vector.sub(camera.position ).normalize());
var sprite = new THREE.Sprite(spriteMaterial);
var intersect = ray.intersectObject(sprite);
then intersect.point is just the position of the sprite, instead of the exact point that I need.
I need this so I can check if the part of the texture that has been clicked is visible or not. (Alpha value)
Is there a way to get the exact intersection, or is there a better way to achieve my goal?
This is not currently supported. See Raycaster.js if you want to try to hack your own solution. Sprites can be rotated (turned on their side), so the solution is not trivial.
A reasonable work-around is to create a Mesh from a PlaneGeometry and set
mesh.quaternion = camera.quaternion.
three.js r.64
I'm a newcomer to three.js and am looking for what approaches are possible to achieve an effect like this:
For a cola can like object as in the image below (minus condensation), I want to change independent bits of text on the surface of the can based on user interaction. The variants of text are fairly arbitrary, too many for pre-baked full can textures. For instance I might want to:
change "Euro 2012" to arbitrary text
change the nutritional stats on the back of the can
show or hide one of the individual music notes
I'm sure it's possible, just looking for what concepts I need to employ. Is it difficult to have multiple textures on the same object? Or to generate arbitrary text and position it on an object and wrap it to the shape of the object?
Any pointers helpful!
You can use image created in a separate canvas as a Three.js texture. Instead of trying to mix and blend multiple textures in Three.js (possible, but tricky and limited control), I think the best solution would be to create the dynamic texture in 2D, totally out of Three.js then just apply the full texture to the can.
You can create your canvas image manually or using canvas image manipulation library of your choice (some possibilities: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Aqj_mVmuz3Y8dHNhUVFDYlRaaXlyX0xYSTVnalV5ZlE#gid=0 ). Or you can have your template as SVG and modify that (should be quite simple), render that to canvas, then use it as texture.
Using canvas as a texture is very simple:
var canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
canvas.width = 512;
canvas.height = 512;
var context = canvas.getContext('2d');
// drawing something here....
context.font = "Bold 20px Helvetica";
context.lineWidth = 4;
context.strokeStyle = 'rgba(255,255,255,.8)';
context.fillStyle = "rgba(0,0,0,1)";
context.strokeText("Testing", 4, 22);
context.fillText("Testing", 4, 22);
var texture = new THREE.Texture(canvas);
texture.needsUpdate = true;
