HTMLMesh

This class can be used to render a DOM element onto a canvas and use it as a texture for a plane mesh.

A typical use case for this class is to render the GUI of lil-gui as a texture so it is compatible for VR.

Code Example

const gui = new GUI( { width: 300 } ); // create lil-gui instance
const mesh = new HTMLMesh( gui.domElement );
scene.add( mesh );

Import

HTMLMesh is an addon, and must be imported explicitly, see Installation#Addons.

import { HTMLMesh } from 'three/addons/interactive/HTMLMesh.js';
