zen-3d

JavaScript 3D library

The aim of the project is to create an easy to use, lightweight, 3D/2D library. The library only provides WebGL renderers.

Examples — RoadMap — Documentation — Tests

Usage

Use zen3d.js or zen3d.min.js in your page:

<script src="zen3d.min.js"></script>

or import as es6 module:

import * as zen3d from 'js/zen3d.module.js';

draw a simple cube:

var width = window.innerWidth || 2;
var height = window.innerHeight || 2;

var canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
canvas.width = width;
canvas.height = height;
document.body.appendChild(canvas);

var gl = canvas.getContext("webgl2", {
	antialias: true,
	alpha: false,
	stencil: true
});
var glCore = new zen3d.WebGLCore(gl);
glCore.state.colorBuffer.setClear(0.1, 0.1, 0.1, 1);
var backRenderTarget = new zen3d.RenderTargetBack(canvas);

var scene = new zen3d.Scene();

var geometry = new zen3d.CubeGeometry(8, 8, 8);
var material = new zen3d.PBRMaterial();
var mesh = new zen3d.Mesh(geometry, material);
scene.add(mesh);

var ambientLight = new zen3d.AmbientLight(0xffffff);
scene.add(ambientLight);

var directionalLight = new zen3d.DirectionalLight(0xffffff);
directionalLight.position.set(-5, 5, 5);
directionalLight.lookAt(new zen3d.Vector3(), new zen3d.Vector3(0, 1, 0));
scene.add(directionalLight);

var camera = new zen3d.Camera();
camera.position.set(0, 10, 30);
camera.lookAt(new zen3d.Vector3(0, 0, 0), new zen3d.Vector3(0, 1, 0));
camera.setPerspective(45 / 180 * Math.PI, width / height, 1, 1000);
scene.add(camera);

function loop(count) {
	requestAnimationFrame(loop);
	
	mesh.euler.y = count / 1000 * .5; // rotate cube

	scene.updateMatrix();
	scene.updateLights();

	glCore.renderTarget.setRenderTarget(backRenderTarget);

	glCore.clear(true, true, false);

	glCore.render(scene, camera);
}
requestAnimationFrame(loop);
