threejs-dice

Create dice for your threejs scene and throw them on a specific side with cannonjs.

Features

• 4/6/8/10/12/20 sided dice available
• Customize the appearance of the dice
• You can define the side/value, which should be upside after the die has fallen

Demos

• Types and sizes - See the possible dice shapes and options (size / font color / back color)
• Rolling - See, how you can roll 5 dice, which will always land on the same sides

Install

npm install threejs-dice

Usage

<script src="lib/dice.js"></script>

<script>
    // Setup your threejs scene
    var scene = new THREE.Scene();
    // ...
    
    // Setup your cannonjs world
    var world = new CANNON.World();
    // ...
    
    DiceManager.setWorld(world);
    
    // Create a dice
    var dice = new DiceD6({backColor: '#ff0000}); //DiceD6 for six-sided dice; for options see DiceObject
    scene.add(dice.getObject());
    
    // If you want to place the mesh somewhere else, you have to update the body
    dice.getObject().position.x = 150;
    dice.getObject().position.y = 100;
    dice.getObject().rotation.x = 20 * Math.PI / 180;
    dice.updateBodyFromMesh();
    
    // Set the value of the side, which will be upside after the dice lands
    DiceManager.prepareValues([{dice: dice, value: 6}]);
    
    //Animate everything
    function animate() {
        world.step(1.0 / 60.0);
        
        dice.updateMeshFromBody(); // Call this after updating the physics world for rearranging the mesh according to the body
        
        renderer.render(scene, camera);
        
        requestAnimationFrame(animate);
    }
    requestAnimationFrame(animate);
