Three.js shadowCasting r88 - three.js

I'm working from the most recent examples I can find, and I still can't get shadowCasting to display.
barebones jsFiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/bitsofcoad/rw48tu93/
The point light should cast a shadow from the first mesh to the second.
According to https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js/wiki/Migration-Guide:
shadowMap.enable = true/false is correct syntax.
https://threejs.org/docs/#api/renderers/WebGLRenderer support that.
However, I get a syntax error if I use that label. Am I missing something?
Thanks

Enable shadows like so:
renderer.shadowMap.enabled = true;
And yes, if you are trying to update an outdated example, the Migration Guide can be helpful.
Other good resources are the three.js examples, as they are consistent with the latest three.js release.

How to look to objects using lookAt() with a-frame camera component and look-controls

Goal: I want to create a Web based experience where the user need to see a series of elements on the scene and later, I want to leave the user explore alone.
I have several objects around the scene and I want the camera to look at them one by one. I am using the lookat() method but is not working correctly. I found this example on Threejs:
http://jsfiddle.net/L0rdzbej/135/
But my example is not working like the previous example.
After the answer of #Mugen87 is working but with a little modification:
document.getElementById('cam').sceneEl.camera.lookAt
Access the camera in this way. You can see the example here:
https://glitch.com/~aframe-lookat-cam-not-working
Please click on the button "animate camera".
As mentioned in this thread, you have to remove or disable look-controls if you're overriding camera rotation manually. So you can do:
var cameraEl = document.getElementById('camera');
cameraEl.setAttribute('look-controls', {enabled: false});
to disable the controls, perform your lookAt() operations, and then enable the controls via:
cameraEl.setAttribute('look-controls', {enabled: true})
I finally could make it worked. I am new in Threejs and aframe and surely I don't understand rotation, positions,world coordinates good enough but I think I did a decent work. Here the link:

I hope will be useful for somebody on the future.

Three.Js LineBasicMaterial .shading has been removed - Can't get working

recently updated a simple three.js scene from ~ r74 to r94. Textured materials are loading correctly but LineBasicMaterial is not showing. All references to materials are giving the error ".shading has been removed. Use the boolean .flatShading instead."
I can't find where .shading is being referenced. I'm just using three.js, not referencing any other three-related js files.
I found one thread saying to check the dependencies have been updated, but I don't know how to do this and assumed everything was just in the three.js file.
Does anyone have any ideas where .shading is being set please?
Many thanks.
LineBasicMaterial does not respond to lights, and never has.
LineBasicMaterial does not utilize the .flatShading property.
The .flatShading property is only used when rendering meshes.

Smooth shading using Three.js

I need anyone to help me about my work
Work here :
ivanvujnovic.com/Avatar_final/index.html
I would have a better rendering, like smooth shading or something else.
How can i do that?
Thank's
You already have smooth shading happening there. I believe you might be looking for 'pixel shading' or 'pixel lighting'.
This might be useful:
http://www.opengl.org/sdk/docs/tutorials/ClockworkCoders/lighting.php
Looks like the normals are messed up in your model, or there is a glitch translating them with Three.js making for a bumpy look by messing up the lighting.
You could try to re-export your model and check any normal-related export options if the problem could be solved with using different configuration.
Or you could let Three.js try to recalculate new normals for your geometry, ignoring the ones existing in the model:
geometry.computeFaceNormals();
geometry.computeVertexNormals();

ThreeJS: Updating existing objects with Matrix4

Can anyone offer suitable documentation for updating ThreeJS objects with Matrix4? I've found very few samples online, and they seem to use outdated syntax. In this post for example, the multiplySelf syntax is deprecated and the jsfiddle doesn't work.
I've had success getting the transformation to work during the init() function:
object.matrixAutoUpdate=false;
scene.add( object );
var m=new THREE.Matrix4(1,0,0,0,0,1.132,0,0,0,0,1.3,0,0,0,0,1);
object.applyMatrix(m);
But I'm specifically trying to activate a transition based on Matrix4 (a user clicks a button and the transformation happens as an animation). I'm having a lot of trouble getting the transformation to operate after the scene is loaded, so thanks in advance for any tips.
You should be able to do this:
object.matrixAutoUpdate = false;
object.matrix.set(1,0,0,0,0,1.132,0,0,0,0,1.3,0,0,0,0,1);

Trackballcontrols or Orbitcontrols?

First please excuse my bad english writing and please note that I am a Javascript NOOB!
I am currently developing a website for a client where I am presenting different kind of "wood cut" in webgl but I am unable to get the desired look an feel...
My goal is to make the viewer look and react like what we can see at Sketchfab.
http://sketchfab.com/show/9f7e1e088f0943b697e809f224f8c76d
The rotation is limited to a certain angle and the model always stay in the right position... With Trackballcontrols the model rotate all the way and its a mess. I have tried to change the quaternion as follow:
from:
_this.object.up.applyQuaternion( quaternion );
to:
_this.object.up.applyQuaternion( new THREE.Vector4(0,0,0,1) );
but it behave weird when I reach a certain angle, the model become jumpy...
Then I tried with Orbitcontrols but it seems that there is no dynamicDamping because the controls are really "dry". I prefer a smoother effect...
1- So is there a way to use Orbitcontrols and get the dynamicDamping to work?
2- Is it possible to modify Trackballcontrols to get the desired result?
an example of my models are here:

Thank you for your time
