I'm trying to create a three.js cube with different textures on each face.
Basically a dice. This is in my sandbox environment, so should just product a rotating cube with dice images (1-6) on each side. Once done I intend to use this for a browser base game. This example I have only tested in Chrome, although contemplating changing it to a canvas renderer for additional browser support.
Had a look at a few questions here on SO and a substantial amount of other googling, and though I had the answer (seemed reasonably simple actually) but I simply cannot get it to work.
I am reasonably new to three.js, but not JavaScript.
Pages I used for reference are
SO - three.js cube with different texture on each face
SO - three.js cube with different texture faces
and enriquemorenotent.com - three.js building a cube with different materials on each face
My Code
var camera, scene, renderer, dice;
init();
animate();
function init() {
renderer = new THREE.WebGLRenderer();
renderer.setSize(window.innerWidth, window.innerHeight);
document.body.appendChild(renderer.domElement);
scene = new THREE.Scene();
camera = new THREE.PerspectiveCamera(70, window.innerWidth / window.innerHeight, 1, 1000);
camera.position.set(110, 110, 250);
camera.lookAt(scene.position);
scene.add(camera);
var materials = [
new THREE.MeshLambertMaterial({
map: THREE.ImageUtils.loadTexture('/Content/Images/dice-1-hi.png')
}),
new THREE.MeshLambertMaterial({
map: THREE.ImageUtils.loadTexture('/Content/Images/dice-2-hi.png')
}),
new THREE.MeshLambertMaterial({
map: THREE.ImageUtils.loadTexture('/Content/Images/dice-3-hi.png')
}),
new THREE.MeshLambertMaterial({
map: THREE.ImageUtils.loadTexture('/Content/Images/dice-4-hi.png')
}),
new THREE.MeshLambertMaterial({
map: THREE.ImageUtils.loadTexture('/Content/Images/dice-5-hi.png')
}),
new THREE.MeshLambertMaterial({
map: THREE.ImageUtils.loadTexture('/Content/Images/dice-6-hi.png')
})
];
dice = new THREE.Mesh(
new THREE.CubeGeometry(562, 562, 562, 1, 1, 1, materials),
new THREE.MeshFaceMaterial());
scene.add(dice);
}
function animate() {
requestAnimationFrame(animate);
dice.rotation.x += .05;
dice.rotation.y += .05;
dice.rotation.z += .05;
renderer.render(scene, camera);
}
The error I am getting is
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'map' of undefined
from three.js line 19546 (not the min version) WHichi is the bufferGuessUVType(material) function - material is undefined. Which leads me to believe something is not right in one/all of my material definitions.
Using three.js r58.
There is really no HTML or CSS, just the JS at this point
I can quite happily get a cube rotating with the same image on all six sides but not with different images. The images are just the images of a dice dots, 1 - 6.
Given a bit more time I could do a fiddle if required
EDIT: THREE.MultiMaterial
has been deprecated. You can now pass the materials array directly into the constructor. Like so:
const dice = new THREE.Mesh( new THREE.BoxGeometry( 562, 562, 562, 1, 1, 1 ), materials );
scene.add( dice );
Be careful of copying old examples from the net.
Always check the Migration Wiki for help upgrading to the current version.
