Three.Js Bump maps and UV Layout - three.js

js Peeps
I have an OBJ model with a UV map that is not rendering the bump map correctly.
As you can see from the images the UV map checker texture shows a smooth flat surface. Unfortunately when the bump map is applied there appears to be tears across the bump map texture. (It is just a basic repeating texture which works fine for a different OBJ)
Has anyone else experienced this effect?
Many Thanks

Here is the bump coffeescropt map code:
#BumpMap
mapHeight = THREE.ImageUtils.loadTexture( "/images/3d/bump.jpg" )
mapHeight.anisotropy = 4
mapHeight.repeat.set( 0.998, 0.998 )
mapHeight.offset.set( 0.001, 0.001 )
mapHeight.wrapS = mapHeight.wrapT = THREE.RepeatWrapping
mapHeight.format = THREE.RGBFormat

It has to do with a UV map being recalculated after a boolean operation

Threejs - Applying simple texture on a shader material

Using Threejs (67) with a Webgl renderer, I can't seem to get a plane with a shader material to wear its texture. No matter what I do the material would just stay black.
My code at the moment looks quite basic :
var grassT = new Three.Texture(grass); // grass is an already loaded image.
grassT.wrapS = grassT.wrapT = Three.ClampToEdgeWrapping;
grassT.flipY = false;
grassT.minFilter = Three.NearestFilter;
grassT.magFilter = Three.NearestFilter;
grassT.needsUpdate = true;
var terrainUniforms = {
grassTexture : { type: "t", value: grassT},
}
Then I just have this revelant part in the vertexShader :
vUv = uv;
And on the fragmentShader side :
gl_FragColor = texture2D(grassTexture, vUv);
This results in :
Black material.
No error in console.
gl_FragColor value is always (0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0).
What I tryed / checked:
Everything works fine if I just apply custom plain colors.
All is ok if I use vertexColors with plain colors too.
My texture width / height is indeed a power of 2.
The image is on the same server than the code.
Tested others images with same result.
The image is actually loading in the browser debugger.
UVS for the mesh are corrects.
Played around with wrapT, wrapS, minFilter, magFilter
Adapted the mesh size so the texture has a 1:1 ratio.
Preloaded the image with requirejs image plugin and created the texture from THREE.Texture() instead of using THREE.ImageUtils();
Played around with needsUpdate : true;
Tryed to add defines['USE_MAP'] during material instanciation.
Tryed to add material.dynamic = true.
I have a correct rendering loop (interraction with terrain is working).
What I still wonder :
It's a multiplayer game using a custom port with express + socket.io. Am I hit by any Webgl security policy ?
I have no lights logic at the moment, is that a problem ?
Maybe the shader material needs other "defines" at instanciation ?
I guess I'm overlooking something simpler, this is why I'm asking...
Thanks.
I am applying various effects on the same shader. I have a custom API that merge all different effects uniforms simply by using Three.UniformsUtils.merge() However this function is calling the clone() method on the texture and this is causing to reset needsUpdate to false before the texture reach the renderer.
It appears that you should set your texture needsUpdate property to true when reaching the material level. On the texture level, if the uniform you set get merged, and therefore cloned, later in the process, it'll lose its needsUpdate property.
The issue is also detailled here: https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js/issues/3393
In my case the following wasn't working (grassT is my texture):
grassT.needsUpdate = true
while the following is running perfectly later on in the code:
material.uniforms.grassTexture.value.needsUpdate = true;
Image loading is asynchronous. Most likely, you are rendering your scene before the texture image loads.
You must set the texture.needsUpdate flag to true after the image loads. three.js has a utility that will do that for you:
var texture = THREE.ImageUtils.loadTexture( "texture.jpg" );
Once rendered, the renderer sets the texture.needsUpdate flag back to false.

Stretch image texture to fit mesh face in Three.js

I'm trying to make the following in three.js:
I made the model in sketchup with some simple coloured textures and used the collader importer, the result looks like this:
Now I want to dynamically load some photographs onto each of the different planes, however what I end up with is this:
So as you can see, each image is loaded but they are very small and repeated across the rest of the surface.
This is how I load the textures: (preloadTexture() is just a simple preloader)
for(i in cubeSidesArray)
{
preloadTexture(modelThumbsArray[i]);
var newTexture = new THREE.MeshPhongMaterial( { map: THREE.ImageUtils.loadTexture(modelThumbsArray[i]) } );
cubeSidesArray[i].material = newTexture;
}
How do I get the textures to fill the surface?
Thanks!
Edit - I played with the model in sketchup and managed to get it a little better, but not much!
Edit 2 - Still no luck, I'm starting to think building it in code from scratch would be simpler
Option 1: I would advise you to do or next.
1 -.Import the model blender
2 -.Export blender to threejs
3 -.Use this method of charging.
AgregarModeloBlender function (geometry, materials) {
console.log(materials);
material = new THREE.MeshFaceMaterial( materials );
modelo3d_ = new THREE.Mesh( geometry,material );
escenario.add(modelo3d_);
modelo3d_.add(camera);
modelo3d_.scale.set(5,5,5);
modelo3d_.position.set(-900,25,850);
modelo3d_.rotation.y=Math.PI;
}
4 -. Subsequently trabajr with textures independently.
Example: http://all.develoteca.com/builder/
Option 2: I would advise you to do or this:
1 -. Create the geometric shape (vertices) to modify each of the faces of the texture.

Three.js lightMap causes an error WebGLRenderingContext: GL ERROR :GL_INVALID_OPERATION

I'm loading a jpeg file for light map
var texture = new THREE.ImageUtils.loadTexture("textures/metal.jpg");
Then I apply the texture to THREE.MeshPhongMaterial
var frontMaterial = new THREE.MeshPhongMaterial( {
color: 0xfade7e,
specular: 0xffffff,
ambient: 0xaa0000,
lightMap:texture
} )
Full error message is WebGLRenderingContext: GL ERROR :GL_INVALID_OPERATION : glDrawElements: attempt to access out of range vertices in attribute 2
Is here something wrong? An error occures in all browsers. Three.js r.56
As explained by #alteredq in this thread, a LightMap requires a second set of UVs.
The point of lightmaps is that they can live independently of other textures, thus giving other textures chance to be much higher detail. Lightmaps use their own set of UV coordinates (usually auto-generated by some light baking solution, as opposed to artist-created primary UV set).
Using lightmaps with the same UVs as everything else doesn't make much sense, as then you could achieve basically the same result for less texture cost simply by baking light map together with color map (this is e.g. what Rage uses, it looks fantastic but needs boatload of textures).
Also lightmaps should be multiplicative, not additive. Big use case for lightmaps are pre-baked shadows and ambient occlusion, so you need to be able to darken things.
So the answer to your question is that geometry.faceVertexUvs[0] contains the usual set of UVs; you need to add to your geometry geometry.faceVertexUvs[1].
three.js r.56
This error become because the Three.js buffers are outdated. When your add some textures (map,bumpMap ...) to a Mesh, you must recompose the buffers and update UVs like this :
ob is THREE.Mesh, mt is a Material, tex is a texture.
tex.needsUpdate = true;
mt.map = tex;
ob.material = mt;
ob.geometry.buffersNeedUpdate = true;
ob.geometry.uvsNeedUpdate = true;
mt.needsUpdate = true;
That's all folks !
Hope it's help.

Lights and shade with a custom fragmentShader

I'm creating a sphere and adding distortion to it, that's working fine.
When I look at the wireframe it's like this
and with the wireframe turned of it looks like this
As you can see the are no shades and the distortion isn't visible when the wireframe is turned of.
What I'm looking for is what to place in my custom fragmentShader.
I used this
// calc the dot product and clamp
// 0 -> 1 rather than -1 -> 1
vec3 light = vec3(0.5,0.2,1.0);
// ensure it's normalized
light = normalize(light);
// calculate the dot product of
// the light to the vertex normal
float dProd = max(0.0, dot(vNormal, light));
// feed into our frag colour
gl_FragColor = vec4(dProd, dProd, dProd, 1.0);
But that just creates a very ugly false light.
Any ideas anybody?
Thanks in advance,
Wezy
If you want to use Three.js' lights (and I can't think a reason why not), you need to include the corresponding shader chunks:
Take a look at how the WebGLRenderer composes its shaders in THREE.ShaderLib
Pick a material there that is close to what you want and copy its definition (uniforms and both shader codes) to your code, renaming it to something custom
Delete chunks you don't need, and add your custom code to appropriate places

Why does the lighting on my walls look funny? Three.js

In my game that uses Three.js (r52) I'm having some trouble getting the lighting right.
This dungeon level uses simple cuboids as the walls and the roof. For some reason the lighting is bright at the beginning of each mesh, but then fades to dark towards the other side.
Notice that the floor doesn't have artifacts, this is because it is one huge quad.
The light used is a PointLight. The materials for my meshes are simply created like this:
var texture = new THREE.Texture( image,
new THREE.UVMapping(),
THREE.RepeatWrapping,
THREE.RepeatWrapping,
THREE.NearestFilter,
THREE.NearestMipMapLinearFilter );
return new THREE.MeshLambertMaterial({
map : texture
});
The cuboids are exported OBJ models from 3ds max, converted using gw::OBJ-exporter. These are my export settings:
Any ideas?
Apparently you hit the same issue as in this thread: https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js/issues/1258
You need to use something like material.shading = THREE.FlatShading;
