Object3DNode

This node can be used to access transformation related metrics of 3D objects. Depending on the selected scope, a different metric is represented as a uniform in the shader. The following scopes are supported:

• POSITION: The object's position in world space.
• VIEW_POSITION: The object's position in view/camera space.
• DIRECTION: The object's direction in world space.
• SCALE: The object's scale in world space.
• WORLD_MATRIX: The object's matrix in world space.

Constructor

new Object3DNode( scope : 'position' | 'viewPosition' | 'direction' | 'scale' | 'worldMatrix', object3d : Object3D )

Constructs a new object 3D node.

scope | The node represents a different type of transformation depending on the scope.
---|---
object3d | The 3D object. Default is null.

Properties

.object3d : Object3D

The 3D object.

Default is null.

.scope : 'position' | 'viewPosition' | 'direction' | 'scale' | 'worldMatrix'

The node reports a different type of transformation depending on the scope.

.uniformNode : UniformNode

Holds the value of the node as a uniform.

.updateType : string

Overwritten since this type of node is updated per object.

Default is 'object'.

Overrides: Node#updateType

Methods

.generate( builder : NodeBuilder ) : string

Generates the code snippet of the uniform node. The node type of the uniform node also depends on the selected scope.

builder | The current node builder.
---|---

Overrides: Node#generate

Returns: The generated code snippet.

.getNodeType() : 'mat4' | 'vec3' | 'float'

Overwritten since the node type is inferred from the scope.

Overrides: Node#getNodeType

Returns: The node type.

.update( frame : NodeFrame )

Updates the uniform value depending on the scope.

frame | The current node frame.
---|---

Overrides: Node#update
