surface-vectors
Debug utility for drawing surface vectors in WebGL.
Useful for visualising normal/tangent/bitangent vectors across a mesh's surface.
Usage
If you're looking for a complete usage example, check out the demo and its source code.
sv = surfaceVectors(gl, cells, positions, vectors)
Prepare a pair of positions and vectors for rendering.
gl
is the WebGL canvas context.cells
should be a list of element/face indices for your model: either a packedFloat32Array
, or a nested 2D array. See the bunny module's data for an example of this.positions
should a list of positions for your model: again, in either of the above formats.vectors
same format aspositions
andcells
, instead containing the vectors to render from each point at the same index inpositions
.
sv.render(length, matrix, [color])
Draws the vectors to the screen.
length
is the length at which to draw each vector.matrix
the matrix to multiply each position by. Ordinarily, you'd want this to be Projection * View * Model, like you would normally do shader-side.color
the color to use when drawing the vectors: a 3-element long array, and should contain RGB values from 0 to 1.
