Constructors

constructor

Properties

attributes

attributes: NormalBufferAttributes

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

Default Value

{}

boundingBox

boundingBox: null | Box3

Bounding box for the THREE.BufferGeometry | 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.

Default Value

null

boundingSphere

boundingSphere: null | Sphere

Bounding sphere for the THREE.BufferGeometry | 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.

Default Value

null

drawRange

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

Determines the part of the geometry to render. This should not be set directly, instead use .setDrawRange(...).

Remarks

For non-indexed THREE.BufferGeometry | BufferGeometry, count is the number of vertices to render.

Default Value

{ start: 0, count: Infinity }

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

Every vertex and index must belong to exactly one group — groups must not share vertices or indices, and must not leave vertices or indices unused.

Default Value

[]

id

id: number

Unique number for this THREE.BufferGeometry | BufferGeometry instance.

Remarks

Expects a Integer

index

index: null | 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 THREE.WebGLRenderer | renderer assumes that each three contiguous positions represent a single triangle.

Default Value

null

ReadonlyisBufferGeometry

isBufferGeometry: true

Read-only flag to check if a given object is of type BufferGeometry.

Remarks

This is a constant value

Default Value

true

morphAttributes

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

Hashmap of THREE.BufferAttribute | 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 THREE.BufferGeometry | BufferGeometry.

Default Value

{}

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.

Default Value

false

name

name: string

Optional name for this THREE.BufferGeometry | BufferGeometry instance.

Default Value

''

parameters

parameters: {
    func: ((u: number, v: number, dest: Vector3) => void);
    slices: number;
    stacks: number;
}

type

type: string

Default

'ParametricGeometry'

userData

userData: Record<string, any>

An object that can be used to store custom data about the BufferGeometry. It should not hold references to functions as these will not be cloned.

Default Value

{}

uuid

uuid: string

UUID of this object instance.

Remarks

This gets automatically assigned and shouldn't be edited.

Methods

  • addEventListener<T>(type, listener): void

  • Adds a listener to an event type.

    Type Parameters

    • T extends "dispose"

    Parameters

    • type: T

      The type of event to listen to.

    • listener: EventListener<{
          dispose: {};
      }[T], T, SphubeGeometry>

      The function that gets called when the event is fired.

    Returns void

  • addEventListener<T>(type, listener): void

  • Type Parameters

    • T extends string

    Parameters

    Returns void

addGroup

  • addGroup(start, count, materialIndex?): void

  • Adds a group to this geometry

    Parameters

    • start: number
    • count: number
    • OptionalmaterialIndex: number

    Returns void

    See

    the groups property for details.

applyMatrix4

  • applyMatrix4(matrix): this

  • Applies the matrix transform to the geometry.

    Parameters

    • matrix: Matrix4

    Returns this

applyQuaternion

  • applyQuaternion(quaternion): this

  • Applies the rotation represented by the quaternion to the geometry.

    Parameters

    • quaternion: Quaternion

    Returns this

center

  • center(): this

  • Center the geometry based on the bounding box.

    Returns this

clearGroups

  • clearGroups(): void

  • Clears all groups.

    Returns void

clone

  • clone(): this

  • Creates a clone of this BufferGeometry

    Returns this

computeBoundingBox

  • computeBoundingBox(): void

  • Computes the bounding box of the geometry, and updates the .boundingBox attribute. The bounding box is not computed by the engine; it must be computed by your app. You may need to recompute the bounding box if the geometry vertices are modified.

    Returns void

computeBoundingSphere

  • computeBoundingSphere(): void

  • Computes the bounding sphere of the geometry, and updates the .boundingSphere 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.

    Returns void

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

    Returns void

    Remarks

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

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.

    Returns void

  • Copies another BufferGeometry to this BufferGeometry.

    Parameters

    • source: BufferGeometry<NormalBufferAttributes>
