I am able to create a sphere using javascript and the three.js library. However i have an image i want to overlay on top of the sphere and whenever i do so, the sphere turns into a black sphere with no image projected ontop of it. Here is how i implemented it: var renderer = new THREE.WebGLRenderer(); renderer.setSize(window.innerWidth, window.innerHeight); document.body.appendChild(renderer.domElement);
// camera
var camera = new THREE.PerspectiveCamera(45, window.innerWidth / window.innerHeight, 1, 1000);
camera.position.z = 500;
// scene
var scene = new THREE.Scene();
// sphere
// the first argument of THREE.SphereGeometry is the radius, the second argument is
// the segmentsWidth, and the third argument is the segmentsHeight. Increasing the
// segmentsWidth and segmentsHeight will yield a more perfect circle, but will degrade
// rendering performance
var texture = THREE.ImageUtils.loadTexture('beach.jpg', {}, function() {
renderer.render(scene, camera);
});
texture.needsUpdate = true;
// texture.wrapS = texture.wrapT = THREE.ClampToEdgeWrapping;
// texture.repeat.set( 125, 125 );
// texture.offset.set( 15, 15 );
// texture.needsUpdate = true;
var material = new THREE.MeshBasicMaterial({map: texture});
var sphere = new THREE.Mesh(new THREE.SphereGeometry(150, 100, 100), material);
//mesh = new THREE.Mesh(sphere, material);
//scene.add(mesh);
// var sphere = new THREE.Mesh(new THREE.SphereGeometry(150, 100, 100), new THREE.MeshNormalMaterial());
// sphere.overdraw = true;
scene.add(sphere);
renderer.render(scene, camera);
I've tried everything and the image is not successfully overlaying on top of the sphere, How do i go about doing this using three.js? My "beach.jpg" file is located in the same directory as the index.html.
Thank you for your time,
