In Chapter 5, Learning to Work with Geometries, we showed you all the basic geometries provided by Three.js. Besides these basic geometries, Three.js also offers a set of more advanced and specialized objects. In this chapter, we'll show you these advanced geometries and cover the following subjects:
- How to use advanced geometries such as THREE.ConvexGeometry, THREE.LatheGeometry, and THREE.TubeGeometry.
- How to create 3D shapes from 2D shapes using THREE.ExtrudeGeometry. We'll do this based on a 2D shape drawn using functionality provided by Three.js, and we'll show an example where we create a 3D shape based on an externally loaded SVG image.
- If you want to create custom shapes yourself, you can easily amend the ones we've discussed in the previous chapters. Three.js, however, also offers...
