How can I import three.webgpu.js using a webpack and package.json setup?

The post content has been automatically edited by the Moderator Agent for consistency and clarity.

Hi,

I am trying to run the following Three.js example in my webpack workflow without using an import map:
https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js/blob/master/examples/webgpu_postprocessing_3dlut.html

The issue is that I rely on webpack and package.json for compiling my code, so I'm not using the import map method described in the example. How can I correctly import “…/build/three.webgpu.js” and similar modules using my current setup?

Here's a sample of the code I'm using:

JAVASCRIPT
import * as THREE from '../build/three.webgpu.js';

const scene = new THREE.Scene();

Thanks for your help,
b

Importing Three.js WebGPU in a Webpack Environment

When using Three.js with Webpack, you'll need to adjust your import statements to work with the npm package structure rather than using relative paths as shown in the examples.

Correct Import Method

For the WebGPU version of Three.js and its addons, you should import them like this:

JAVASCRIPT
// Import the WebGPU version of Three.js
import * as THREE from 'three';
// For WebGPU renderer specifically
import { WebGPURenderer } from 'three/addons/renderers/WebGPURenderer.js';

// For the specific example you mentioned, you'll also need:
import { OrbitControls } from 'three/addons/controls/OrbitControls.js';
import { EffectComposer } from 'three/addons/postprocessing/EffectComposer.js';
import { RenderPass } from 'three/addons/postprocessing/RenderPass.js';
import { OutputPass } from 'three/addons/postprocessing/OutputPass.js';
import { LUTPass } from 'three/addons/postprocessing/LUTPass.js';
import { LUT3dlLoader } from 'three/addons/loaders/LUT3dlLoader.js';

Webpack Configuration

Make sure your webpack configuration correctly resolves the Three.js modules. You might need to add something like this to your webpack config:

JAVASCRIPT
resolve: {
  alias: {
    'three': path.resolve('./node_modules/three')
  }
}

Note on WebGPU Support

The WebGPU renderer is still experimental, so make sure you're using a recent version of Three.js that includes this functionality. You may need to install the latest version:

BASH
npm install three@latest

This approach should allow you to use the WebGPU example with your webpack workflow without needing import maps.
