three.js responsive starter template:

Step 1 - Start with the webpack starter file

Step 2 - index.hml

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>Basic-Webpack Setup + three.js</title>
</head>
<body>
    <canvas class="webgl"></canvas>
</body>
</html>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Step 3 - Style.css:

html,
body
{
    overflow: hidden;
}
.webgl {
    position: fixed;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    outline: 0;
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Step 4 - Script.js

yarn add three

  1. Get canvas, sizes
  2. new Scene
  3. new Mesh

    • Geometry
    • Material

    scene.add(mesh)

  4. new Camera

    scene.add(camera)

  5. new OrbitControls(camera, canvas)

    • .enableDamping = true
  6. new WebGLRenderer(camera, canvas)

    • setSize
    • setPixel Ratio:
    • render(scene, camera)
  7. resize event Listner

    • update sizes.width/height
    • update camera
      • .aspect(size.w/size.h)
      • updateProjectionMatrix()
    • update renderer:
      • setsize
      • setpixelRatio
  8. Clock() / Animate()

    • new Three.Clock()
    • tick() - requestAnimation Frame
      • elapsedTime
      • controls.update() renderer.render(scene, camera)
      • call tick()

    camera.updateProjectionMatrix()

    //Update renderer:

    renderer.setPixelRatio(Math.min(window.devicePixelRatio, 2))
})

//======================
/**

const clock = new THREE.Clock()

const tick = () => {
    const elapsedTime = clock.getElapsedTime()

    //Update Controls
    controls.update()
