Hi there,
I’m encountering an issue when importing an SVG using Three.js’s SVGLoader. Some SVG paths are filled in unexpected areas, and I’m unsure if it’s due to the SVG file or a mistake in my implementation. Below is the relevant code I’m using to render the SVG:
JAVASCRIPTconst veinsSVGLoader = new SVGLoader(manager) veinsSVGLoader.load( '<MY_SVG_URL>', (data) => { const paths = data.paths const group = new THREE.Group() group.scale.set(0.0015, -0.0015, 0.0015) // Scale down for large SVGs group.position.set(-0.72, 1.712, 0.15) // Center the SVG in the scene paths.forEach((path, index) => { const subGroup = new THREE.Group() const fillColor = path.userData.style.fill if (fillColor) { const material = new THREE.MeshBasicMaterial({ color: new THREE.Color().setStyle(fillColor), side: THREE.DoubleSide, depthWrite: false, transparent: true, }) const shapes = SVGLoader.createShapes(path) shapes.forEach((shape) => { const geometry = new THREE.ShapeGeometry(shape) const mesh = new THREE.Mesh(geometry, material) subGroup.add(mesh) }) } const strokeColor = path.userData.style.stroke if (strokeColor) { const material = new THREE.MeshBasicMaterial({ color: new THREE.Color().setStyle(strokeColor), side: THREE.DoubleSide, depthWrite: false, transparent: true, }) const shapes = SVGLoader.createShapes(path) shapes.forEach((shape) => { const geometry = new THREE.ShapeGeometry(shape) const mesh = new THREE.Mesh(geometry, material) subGroup.add(mesh) }) } subGroup.name = `group-${index}` group.add(subGroup) }) group.renderOrder = 2 scene.add(group) }, function (xhr) { console.log(`Veins: ${(xhr.loaded / xhr.total) * 100}% loaded`) }, function (error) { console.log('Veins: An error happened') }, )
I’ve attached screenshots for reference:
Expected output (with a black background added for clarity):
[Expected screenshot image]
Actual output (showing unexpected fill issues):
[Rendered screenshot image]
I’ve also attached the SVG file in case it helps diagnose the problem.
Has anyone experienced this or have suggestions on what might be causing the unexpected fill behavior?
Thanks in advance,
Jack

Looking at your code and the issue you're describing with unexpected fill areas, I can identify a few potential issues with your SVG rendering implementation.
Double Rendering of Shapes: You're creating meshes for both fill and stroke using the same shapes, which could cause overlapping geometry.
Path Winding Order: SVG paths with complex shapes might have winding order issues that affect how Three.js fills them.
DoubleSide Material: Using THREE.DoubleSide
can sometimes cause visual artifacts with overlapping geometry.
Here's a modified version of your code that addresses these issues:
JAVASCRIPTconst veinsSVGLoader = new SVGLoader(manager) veinsSVGLoader.load( '<MY_SVG_URL>', (data) => { const paths = data.paths const group = new THREE.Group() group.scale.set(0.0015, -0.0015, 0.0015) // Scale down for large SVGs group.position.set(-0.72, 1.712, 0.15) // Center the SVG in the scene paths.forEach((path, index) => { const subGroup = new THREE.Group() // Handle fills const fillColor = path.userData.style.fill if (fillColor !== undefined && fillColor !== 'none') { const material = new THREE.MeshBasicMaterial({ color: new THREE.Color().setStyle(fillColor), side: THREE.FrontSide, // Changed from DoubleSide depthWrite: true, // Changed from false transparent: true, opacity: path.userData.style.fillOpacity !== undefined ? path.userData.style.fillOpacity : 1 }) const shapes = SVGLoader.createShapes(path) shapes.forEach((shape) => { // Handle holes properly const geometry = new THREE.ShapeGeometry(shape) const mesh = new THREE.Mesh(geometry, material) subGroup.add(mesh) }) } // Handle strokes separately const strokeColor = path.userData.style.stroke if (strokeColor !== undefined && strokeColor !== 'none') { const strokeWidth = path.userData.style.strokeWidth || 1 // Use the path directly for strokes instead of shapes const strokeMaterial = new THREE.LineBasicMaterial({ color: new THREE.Color().setStyle(strokeColor), linewidth: strokeWidth, transparent: true, opacity: path.userData.style.strokeOpacity !== undefined ? path.userData.style.strokeOpacity : 1 }) for (let i = 0; i < path.subPaths.length; i++) { const subPath = path.subPaths[i] const points = subPath.getPoints() const geometry = new THREE.BufferGeometry().setFromPoints(points) const line = new THREE.Line(geometry, strokeMaterial) subGroup.add(line) } } subGroup.name = `group-${index}` group.add(subGroup) }) group.renderOrder = 2 scene.add(group) }, function (xhr) { console.log(`Veins: ${(xhr.loaded / xhr.total) * 100}% loaded`) }, function (error) { console.log('Veins: An error happened', error) } )
Separate Fill and Stroke Handling: Instead of creating shapes for both fill and stroke, I've used different approaches for each.
Using FrontSide for Materials: Changed from DoubleSide
to FrontSide
to avoid rendering both sides of faces.
Proper Stroke Rendering: Using Line
objects for strokes instead of filled shapes.
Opacity Handling: Added proper handling of fill and stroke opacity from the SVG.
Improved Condition Checks: Added more robust checks for fill and stroke colors.
If you're still experiencing issues, it might be worth examining your SVG file for complex paths or non-standard SVG features that might not be properly interpreted by the SVGLoader.
Another approach would be to try the official Three.js SVG example as a reference implementation: SVGLoader Example
