const sound = new THREE.Audio(listener);
// load a sound and set it as the Audio object's buffer
const audioLoader = new THREE.AudioLoader();
audioLoader.load('sounds/ambient.ogg', function (buffer) {
    sound.setBuffer(buffer);
    sound.setLoop(true);
    sound.setVolume(0.5);
    sound.play();

class BatchedMesh

class BatchedMesh extends Mesh<BufferGeometry, Material> {}

A special version of Mesh with multi draw batch rendering support. Use BatchedMesh if you have to render a large number of objects with the same material but with different geometries or world transformations. The usage of BatchedMesh will help you to reduce the number of draw calls and thus improve the overall rendering performance in your application.
If the is not supported then a less performant fallback is used.
Example 1
const box = new THREE.BoxGeometry( 1, 1, 1 ); const sphere = new THREE.SphereGeometry( 1, 12, 12 ); const material = new THREE.MeshBasicMaterial( { color: 0x00ff00 } );
// initialize and add geometries into the batched mesh const batchedMesh = new BatchedMesh( 10, 5000, 10000, material ); const boxGeometryId = batchedMesh.addGeometry( box ); const sphereGeometryId = batchedMesh.addGeometry( sphere );
// create instances of those geometries const boxInstancedId1 = batchedMesh.addInstance( boxGeometryId ); const boxInstancedId2 = batchedMesh.addInstance( boxGeometryId );
const sphereInstancedId1 = batchedMesh.addInstance( sphereGeometryId ); const sphereInstancedId2 = batchedMesh.addInstance( sphereGeometryId );
// position the geometries batchedMesh.setMatrixAt( boxInstancedId1, boxMatrix1 ); batchedMesh.setMatrixAt( boxInstancedId2, boxMatrix2 );
batchedMesh.setMatrixAt( sphereInstancedId1, sphereMatrix1 ); batchedMesh.setMatrixAt( sphereInstancedId2, sphereMatrix2 );

constructor

constructor(array: TypedArray, itemSize: number, normalized?: boolean);

This creates a new GLBufferAttribute object.
Parameter array
Must be a TypedArray. Used to instantiate the buffer. This array should have itemSize * numVertices elements, where numVertices is the number of vertices in the associated BufferGeometry.
Parameter itemSize
the number of values of the array that should be associated with a particular vertex. For instance, if this attribute is storing a 3-component vector (such as a _position_, _normal_, or _color_), then itemSize should be 3.
Parameter normalized
Applies to integer data only. Indicates how the underlying data in the buffer maps to the values in the GLSL code. For instance, if array is an instance of UInt16Array, and normalized is true, the values 0 - +65535 in the array data will be mapped to 0.0f - +1.0f in the GLSL attribute. An Int16Array (signed) would map from -32768 - +32767 to -1.0f - +1.0f. If normalized is false, the values will be converted to floats unmodified, i.e. 32767 becomes 32767.0f. Default false.

   1.0,  1.0,  1.0, // v2

   1.0,  1.0,  1.0, // v3
  -1.0,  1.0,  1.0, // v4
  -1.0, -1.0,  1.0  // v5
] );

// itemSize = 3 because there are 3 values (components) per vertex
geometry.setAttribute( 'position', new THREE.BufferAttribute( vertices, 3 ) );
const material = new THREE.MeshBasicMaterial( { color: 0xff0000 } );
const mesh = new THREE.Mesh( geometry, material );

Example 2

constructor

constructor();

This creates a new BufferGeometry object.

property attributes

attributes: NormalOrGLBufferAttributes;

This hashmap has as id the name of the attribute to be set and as value the buffer to set it to. Rather than accessing this property directly, use .setAttribute and .getAttribute to access attributes of this geometry.

property boundingBox

boundingBox: Box3;

Bounding box for the BufferGeometry, which can be calculated with .computeBoundingBox().
Remarks
Bounding boxes aren't computed by default. They need to be explicitly computed, otherwise they are null.

property boundingSphere

boundingSphere: Sphere;

Bounding sphere for the BufferGeometry, which can be calculated with .computeBoundingSphere().
Remarks
bounding spheres aren't computed by default. They need to be explicitly computed, otherwise they are null.

property drawRange

drawRange: { start: number; count: number };

Determines the part of the geometry to render. This should not be set directly, instead use .setDrawRange(...).
Remarks
For indexed BufferGeometry, count is the number of indices to render.

property groups

groups: GeometryGroup[];

Split the geometry into groups, each of which will be rendered in a separate WebGL draw call. This allows an array of materials to be used with the geometry.
Remarks
Use .addGroup to add groups, rather than modifying this array directly.

property id

id: number;

Unique number for this BufferGeometry instance.
Remarks
Expects a Integer

property index

index: BufferAttribute;

Allows for vertices to be re-used across multiple triangles; this is called using "indexed triangles". Each triangle is associated with the indices of three vertices. This attribute therefore stores the index of each vertex for each triangular face. If this attribute is not set, the renderer assumes that each three contiguous positions represent a single triangle.

property indirect

indirect: IndirectStorageBufferAttribute;

property isBufferGeometry

readonly isBufferGeometry: boolean;

Read-only flag to check if a given object is of type BufferGeometry.
Remarks
This is a _constant_ value

property morphAttributes

morphAttributes: {
    [name: string]: (BufferAttribute | InterleavedBufferAttribute)[];
};

Hashmap of BufferAttributes holding details of the geometry's morph targets.
Remarks
Once the geometry has been rendered, the morph attribute data cannot be changed. You will have to call .dispose(), and create a new instance of BufferGeometry.

property morphTargetsRelative

morphTargetsRelative: boolean;

Used to control the morph target behavior; when set to true, the morph target data is treated as relative offsets, rather than as absolute positions/normals.

property name

name: string;

Optional name for this BufferGeometry instance.

property type

readonly type: string;

A Read-only _string_ to check if this object type.
Remarks
Sub-classes will update this value.

Computes the bounding sphere of the geometry, and updates the attribute. The engine automatically computes the bounding sphere when it is needed, e.g., for ray casting or view frustum culling. You may need to recompute the bounding sphere if the geometry vertices are modified.

method computeTangents

computeTangents: () => void;

Calculates and adds a tangent attribute to this geometry. The computation is only supported for indexed geometries and if position, normal, and uv attributes are defined

When using a tangent space normal map, prefer the MikkTSpace algorithm provided by BufferGeometryUtils.computeMikkTSpaceTangents instead.

method computeVertexNormals

computeVertexNormals: () => void;

Computes vertex normals for the given vertex data. For indexed geometries, the method sets each vertex normal to be the average of the face normals of the faces that share that vertex. For non-indexed geometries, vertices are not shared, and the method sets each vertex normal to be the same as the face normal.

class DirectionalLight

class DirectionalLight extends Light<DirectionalLightShadow> {}

A light that gets emitted in a specific direction
Remarks
This is because three.js's DirectionalLight is the equivalent to what is often called a 'Target Direct Light' in other applications. This means that its direction is calculated as pointing from the light's position to the target's position (as opposed to a 'Free Direct Light' that just has a rotation component). See the target property below for details on updating the target.
Example 1
// White directional light at half intensity shining from the top. const {@link DirectionalLight} = new THREE.DirectionalLight(0xffffff, 0.5); scene.add(directionalLight);
See Also
- Example: controls / fly
- Example: effects / parallaxbarrier
- Example: effects / stereo
- Example: geometry / extrude / splines
- Example: materials / bumpmap
- Official Documentation
- Source

constructor

constructor(color?: ColorRepresentation, intensity?: number);

Creates a new DirectionalLight.
Parameter color

Parameter intensity
Numeric value of the light's strength/intensity. Expects a Float. Default 1

property castShadow

Whether the object gets rendered into shadow map.
Remarks
If set to true light will cast dynamic shadows. **Warning**: This is expensive and requires tweaking to get shadows looking right.
See Also
- DirectionalLightShadow for details.

property isDirectionalLight

readonly isDirectionalLight: boolean;

Read-only flag to check if a given object is of type DirectionalLight.
Remarks
This is a _constant_ value

property position

override readonly position: Vector3;

This is set equal to THREE.Object3D.DEFAULT_UP, so that the light shines from the top down.

property shadow

shadow: DirectionalLightShadow;

A DirectionalLightShadow used to calculate shadows for this light.

property target

target: Object3D<Object3DEventMap>;

The DirectionalLight points from its position to target.position.
Remarks
**Note**: For the target's position to be changed to anything other than the default, it must be added to the scene using
Scene.add( light.target );
This is so that the target's matrixWorld gets automatically updated each frame.
It is also possible to set the target to be another object in the scene (anything with a position property), like so:
const targetObject = new THREE.Object3D(); scene.add(targetObject); light.target = targetObject;
The DirectionalLight will now track the target object.

property type

override readonly type: string;

A Read-only _string_ to check if this object type.
Remarks
Sub-classes will update this value.

method dispose

dispose: () => void;

Frees the GPU-related resources allocated by this instance

class DirectionalLightShadow

class DirectionalLightShadow extends LightShadow<OrthographicCamera> {}

This is used internally by DirectionalLights for calculating shadows. Unlike the other shadow classes, this uses an OrthographicCamera to calculate the shadows, rather than a PerspectiveCamera

Remarks

This is because light rays from a DirectionalLight are parallel.

Example 1

//Create a WebGLRenderer and turn on shadows in the renderer
const renderer = new THREE.WebGLRenderer();
renderer.shadowMap.enabled = true;
renderer.shadowMap.type = THREE.PCFSoftShadowMap; // default THREE.PCFShadowMap
//Create a DirectionalLight and turn on shadows for the light
const light = new THREE.DirectionalLight(0xffffff, 1);
light.position.set(0, 1, 0); //default; light shining from top
light.castShadow = true; // default false
scene.add(light);
//Set up shadow properties for the light
light.shadow.mapSize.width = 512; // default
light.shadow.mapSize.height = 512; // default
light.shadow.camera.near = 0.5; // default
light.shadow.camera.far = 500; // default
//Create a sphere that cast shadows (but does not receive them)
const sphereGeometry = new THREE.SphereGeometry(5, 32, 32);

    color: 0xff0000
});
const sphere = new THREE.Mesh(sphereGeometry, sphereMaterial);
sphere.castShadow = true; //default is false
sphere.receiveShadow = false; //default
scene.add(sphere);
//Create a plane that receives shadows (but does not cast them)
const planeGeometry = new THREE.PlaneGeometry(20, 20, 32, 32);
const planeMaterial = new THREE.MeshStandardMaterial({
    color: 0x00ff00
})
const plane = new THREE.Mesh(planeGeometry, planeMaterial);

- Official Documentation
- Source

constructor

constructor(
    array: number | ArrayLike<number> | Iterable<number> | ArrayBuffer,
    itemSize: number,
    normalized?: boolean
);

This creates a new Float16BufferAttribute object.
Parameter array
This can be a typed or untyped (normal) array or an integer length. An array value will be converted to Uint16Array. If a length is given a new TypedArray will created, initialized with all elements set to zero.
Parameter itemSize
the number of values of the array that should be associated with a particular vertex. For instance, if this attribute is storing a 3-component vector (such as a _position_, _normal_, or _color_), then itemSize should be 3.
Parameter normalized
Applies to integer data only. Indicates how the underlying data in the buffer maps to the values in the GLSL code. For instance, if array is an instance of UInt16Array, and normalized is true, the values 0 - +65535 in the array data will be mapped to 0.0f - +1.0f in the GLSL attribute. An Int16Array (signed) would map from -32768 - +32767 to -1.0f - +1.0f. If normalized is false, the values will be converted to floats unmodified, i.e. 32767 becomes 32767.0f. Default false.

constructor

constructor(
    array: number | ArrayLike<number> | Iterable<number> | ArrayBuffer,
    itemSize: number,
    normalized?: boolean
);

This creates a new Int16BufferAttribute object.
Parameter array
This can be a typed or untyped (normal) array or an integer length. An array value will be converted to Int16Array. If a length is given a new TypedArray will created, initialized with all elements set to zero.
Parameter itemSize
the number of values of the array that should be associated with a particular vertex. For instance, if this attribute is storing a 3-component vector (such as a _position_, _normal_, or _color_), then itemSize should be 3.
Parameter normalized
Applies to integer data only. Indicates how the underlying data in the buffer maps to the values in the GLSL code. For instance, if array is an instance of UInt16Array, and normalized is true, the values 0 - +65535 in the array data will be mapped to 0.0f - +1.0f in the GLSL attribute. An Int16Array (signed) would map from -32768 - +32767 to -1.0f - +1.0f. If normalized is false, the values will be converted to floats unmodified, i.e. 32767 becomes 32767.0f. Default false.

class LightProbe

class LightProbe extends Light {}

Light probes are an alternative way of adding light to a 3D scene.
Remarks
Unlike classical light sources (e.g directional, point or spot lights), light probes do not emit light Instead they store information about light passing through 3D space During rendering, the light that hits a 3D object is approximated by using the data from the light probe. Light probes are usually created from (radiance) environment maps The class LightProbeGenerator can be used to create light probes from instances of CubeTexture or WebGLCubeRenderTarget However, light estimation data could also be provided in other forms e.g by WebXR This enables the rendering of augmented reality content that reacts to real world lighting. The current probe implementation in three.js supports so-called diffuse light probes This type of light probe is functionally equivalent to an irradiance environment map.

Serves as a base class for the other shadow classes.
See Also
- Official Documentation
- Source

constructor

constructor(camera: Camera);

Create a new instance of LightShadow
Parameter camera
The light's view of the world.

Shadow map bias, how much to add or subtract from the normalized depth when deciding whether a surface is in shadow. The Very tiny adjustments here (in the order of 0.0001) may help reduce artifacts in shadows.
Remarks
Expects a Float

property blurSamples

blurSamples: number;

The amount of samples to use when blurring a VSM shadow map.
Remarks
Expects a Integer

property camera

camera: Camera;

The light's view of the world. This is used to generate a depth map of the scene; objects behind other objects from the light's perspective will be in shadow.

property intensity

intensity: number;

The intensity of the shadow. The default is 1. Valid values are in the range [0, 1].

property map

map: WebGLRenderTarget<Texture>;

The depth map generated using the internal camera; a location beyond a pixel's depth is in shadow. Computed internally during rendering.

property mapPass

mapPass: WebGLRenderTarget<Texture>;

The distribution map generated using the internal camera; an occlusion is calculated based on the distribution of depths. Computed internally during rendering.

property mapSize

Model to shadow camera space, to compute location and depth in shadow map. Stored in a Matrix4.
Remarks
This is computed internally during rendering.

property needsUpdate

needsUpdate: boolean;

When set to true, shadow maps will be updated in the next render call. If you have set autoUpdate to false, you will need to set this property to true and then make a render call to update the light's shadow.

property normalBias

normalBias: number;

Defines how much the position used to query the shadow map is offset along the object normal. The Increasing this value can be used to reduce shadow acne especially in large scenes where light shines onto geometry at a shallow angle. The cost is that shadows may appear distorted.
Remarks
Expects a Float

property radius

radius: number;

class Raycaster

class Raycaster {}

This class is designed to assist with raycasting

Remarks

Raycasting is used for mouse picking (working out what objects in the 3d space the mouse is over) amongst other things.

Example 1

const raycaster = new THREE.Raycaster();
const pointer = new THREE.Vector2();

function onPointerMove(event) {
    // calculate pointer position in normalized device coordinates (-1 to +1) for both components
    pointer.x = (event.clientX / window.innerWidth) * 2 - 1;
    pointer.y = -(event.clientY / window.innerHeight) * 2 + 1;
}

function render() {
    // update the picking ray with the camera and pointer position
    raycaster.setFromCamera(pointer, camera);
    // calculate objects intersecting the picking ray
    const intersects = raycaster.intersectObjects(scene.children);
    for (let i = 0; i & lt; intersects.length; i++) {
        intersects[i].object.material.color.set(0xff0000);
    }
    renderer.render(scene, camera);
}
window.addEventListener('pointermove', onPointerMove);
window.requestAnimationFrame(render);

constructor

constructor(origin?: Vector3, direction?: Vector3, near?: number, far?: number);

This creates a new Raycaster object.
Parameter origin
The origin vector where the ray casts from. Default new Vector3()
Parameter direction
The direction vector that gives direction to the ray. Should be normalized. Default new Vector3(0, 0, -1)
Parameter near
All results returned are further away than near. Near can't be negative. Expects a Float. Default 0
Parameter far
All results returned are closer than far. Far can't be lower than near. Expects a Float. Default Infinity

property camera

camera: Camera;

The camera to use when raycasting against view-dependent objects such as billboarded objects like Sprites. This field can be set manually or is set when calling setFromCamera.

property far

far: number;

The far factor of the raycaster. This value indicates which objects can be discarded based on the distance. This value shouldn't be negative and should be larger than the near property.
Remarks
Expects a Float

property layers

layers: Layers;

Used by Raycaster to selectively ignore 3D objects when performing intersection tests. The following code example ensures that only 3D objects on layer 1 will be honored by the instance of Raycaster.
raycaster.layers.set( 1 ); object.layers.enable( 1 );

property near

near: number;

The near factor of the raycaster. This value indicates which objects can be discarded based on the distance. This value shouldn't be negative and should be smaller than the far property.
Remarks
Expects a Float

property params

params: RaycasterParameters;

An data object where threshold is the precision of the Raycaster when intersecting objects, in world units.

property ray

ray: Ray;

The Ray used for the raycasting.

method intersectObject

intersectObject: <TIntersected extends Object3D<Object3DEventMap>>(
    object: Object3D,
    recursive?: boolean,
    optionalTarget?: Array<Intersection<TIntersected>>
) => Array<Intersection<TIntersected>>;

Checks all intersection between the ray and the object with or without the descendants
Parameter object
The object to check for intersection with the ray.
Parameter recursive
If true, it also checks all descendants. Otherwise it only checks intersection with the object. Default true
Parameter optionalTarget
Target to set the result. Otherwise a new Array is instantiated. If set, you must clear this array prior to each call (i.e., array.length = 0;). Default []
Returns
An array of intersections is returned.
Remarks
Raycaster delegates to the raycast method of the passed object, when evaluating whether the ray intersects the object or not This allows meshes to respond differently to ray casting than lines and pointclouds. **Note** that for meshes, faces must be pointed towards the origin of the ray in order to be detected; intersections of the ray passing through the back of a face will not be detected To raycast against both faces of an object, you'll want to set the material's side property to THREE.DoubleSide.
See Also
- .intersectObjects().

method intersectObjects

intersectObjects: <TIntersected extends Object3D<Object3DEventMap>>(
    objects: Object3D[],
    recursive?: boolean,

) => Array<Intersection<TIntersected>>;

Checks all intersection between the ray and the objects with or without the descendants
Parameter objects
The objects to check for intersection with the ray.
Parameter recursive
If true, it also checks all descendants of the objects. Otherwise it only checks intersection with the objects. Default true
Parameter optionalTarget

Returns
An array of intersections is returned.

constructor

constructor(
    array: number | ArrayLike<number> | Iterable<number> | ArrayBuffer,
    itemSize: number,
    normalized?: boolean
);

This creates a new Uint16BufferAttribute object.
Parameter array
This can be a typed or untyped (normal) array or an integer length. An array value will be converted to Uint16Array. If a length is given a new TypedArray will created, initialized with all elements set to zero.
Parameter itemSize
the number of values of the array that should be associated with a particular vertex. For instance, if this attribute is storing a 3-component vector (such as a _position_, _normal_, or _color_), then itemSize should be 3.
Parameter normalized
Applies to integer data only. Indicates how the underlying data in the buffer maps to the values in the GLSL code. For instance, if array is an instance of UInt16Array, and normalized is true, the values 0 - +65535 in the array data will be mapped to 0.0f - +1.0f in the GLSL attribute. An Int16Array (signed) would map from -32768 - +32767 to -1.0f - +1.0f. If normalized is false, the values will be converted to floats unmodified, i.e. 32767 becomes 32767.0f. Default false.

Render a scene or an object using a camera. The render is done to a previously specified WebGLRenderTarget#renderTarget.renderTarget set by calling WebGLRenderer#setRenderTarget.setRenderTarget or to the canvas as usual.
By default render buffers are cleared before rendering but you can prevent this by setting the property to false. If you want to prevent only certain buffers being cleared you can set either the , or properties to false. To forcibly clear one ore more buffers call WebGLRenderer#clear.clear.
