Troubleshooting Floating-Point Issues on Line 30 in Three.js Procedural Heart Animation

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

Hey everyone,

I’m working on animating a procedurally generated heart in Three.js, inspired by a popular Reddit post (r/gifs - Send this to your loved ones for valentines) that has received 25,715 votes and 371 comments.

The challenge I'm facing is that the code isn’t producing the expected results, particularly around line 30. I suspect JavaScript’s well-known floating-point issues with cube roots are at play here.

Below is my current Three.js implementation:

JAVASCRIPT
// Example code using Three.js yourFunction() { // Code goes here }

For a live example, you can check out my project on CodeSandbox.

I’d appreciate any insights or suggestions on how to resolve this issue!

Cheers,
Phred

I notice you're working on animating a procedurally generated heart in Three.js and experiencing issues with your implementation. However, you haven't provided your actual code that's causing problems, just placeholder code. Without seeing your specific implementation, it's difficult to diagnose the exact issue.

If you're dealing with floating-point precision issues related to cube roots in your heart animation, I can suggest a few approaches:

Potential Solutions for Floating-Point Issues

  1. Use MathUtils: Three.js provides a MathUtils class that contains various utility functions which might help with precision issues:
JAVASCRIPT
import { MathUtils } from 'three'; // Instead of direct Math operations const result = MathUtils.clamp(value, min, max);
  1. For Animation Interpolation: Consider using Three.js interpolation classes for smooth transitions:
JAVASCRIPT
import { LinearInterpolant } from 'three'; // Create an interpolant for smooth animation const interpolant = new LinearInterpolant( times, // Array of time keyframes values, // Array of values to interpolate between valuesSize, // Size of each value result // Optional result array ); // Get interpolated value at time t const value = interpolant.evaluate(t);
  1. For Quaternion-based Rotations: If your heart animation involves rotations, use QuaternionLinearInterpolant for smoother results:
JAVASCRIPT
import { QuaternionLinearInterpolant } from 'three'; // For rotation interpolation const rotationInterpolant = new QuaternionLinearInterpolant( times, rotationValues, 4, // Quaternions have 4 components result );

If you could share your actual implementation code (especially the problematic line 30 you mentioned), I could provide more specific guidance tailored to your heart animation issue.
