"Animate different Objects with three.js" is a code example that shows how to create a 3D scene using the three.js library and animate multiple objects. In this example, a box and a sphere are animated by changing their rotation and position properties over time using the requestAnimationFrame method. 


This explains various features of three.js, such as creating a renderer, a scene, a camera, and adding lights and materials to the objects. The code also demonstrates how to create geometries for the box and the sphere and meshes by combining the geometries and materials.

 

Using three.js, developers can create interactive and immersive experiences that can run on the web or various platforms, including desktop, mobile, and VR devices. The example can be useful in various applications that require 3D graphics, such as video games, simulations, virtual and augmented reality, scientific visualization, and product design. Animating different objects in a 3D scene can add a sense of dynamism, realism, and engagement to such applications, making them more effective and enjoyable for users. 


Please check the below code to learn how to animate different objects with three.js,

Code

In this solution we're using React, Nodejs and three.js.

Instructions

Follow the steps carefully to get the output easily.

  1. Install the Node.js and React on your IDE(preferable Visual Studio Code).
  2. Create React Application using npx create-react-app foldername.
  3. cd foldername.
  4. Open the folder in IDE.
  5. Copy the code using "copy" button above and paste it in app.js file(remove the earlier code from app.js).
  6. Cut the script tag which is present at the end of code and paste it in index.html file(remove the earlier code from index.html).
  7. Import three.js library as import * as THREE from 'three'.
  8. Add export default statement at end of the code as "export default animate".
  9. Open the terminal from IDE.
  10. npm start to run the file.
