This source code empowers three.js designers and coders to build immersive 3D metaverse games rapidly and with ease.

Features:

  • Utilizes three.js and the cannon library for efficient management of city-scale environments (see engine/assets/js/engine.js).
  • Provides resources including previews, downloads for source code, building assets, model components, game levels, vehicles, avatars, and buildings.
  • Supports customization of avatars using your own Ready Player Me URL or custom character models (rigged with Mixamo).

Custom Avatar Setup:
To add characters, copy your model into engine/assets/models/players and register it in engine/assets/js/avatars.js as shown below:

JSON
[{name:'avatarName', height: 1.8, weight: 97, offset: .12}]

Explanation:

  • avatar name: Filename (fbx or glb) of your avatar.
  • avatar height: Model height in meters.
  • avatar weight: Mass in kilograms.
  • avatar offset: Adjusts the model so its feet are correctly aligned with the floor.

Custom Environment Setup (City & Objects):
To replace or add to the city environment, copy your model (fbx or gltf with embedded textures) to the engine/assets/models/objects folder. Then, add the model file names in engine/assets/js/levels.js as illustrated below:

JSON
{name: 'modelName', type: 'modelType', loader: 'fileExtension', x: [0, 1], y: [0, 0], z: [0, 1], o:[{x:0,y:0,z:0},{x:0,y:90,z:0}], s:[1, 1], si:0, kg:[5, 5], sl:null, sh:'metalimpact', pc:'.5-1', px:1.2, ds:40}

Explanation:

  • model name: Name of the fbx or glb file.
  • model type: e.g., objectmesh, trimesh, etc.
  • file extension: Only GLTF, GLB, or FBX are supported.
  • model positions: Define multiple positions (e.g., x: [0,1] places clones at position 0 and 1).
  • model orientation: Rotation settings for each clone.
  • model scale: Allows varied scaling (e.g., s: [1, .5] for full and half scale).
  • model mass: In kilograms, supporting different masses per clone.
  • model proximity: Distance settings (meters) for placement.

THREE.js + Cannon-ES Virtual City Project Resources

Based on the information provided, I can see you're working on an impressive virtual city experience using THREE.js and Cannon-ES. Let me highlight some relevant resources from the THREE.js documentation that could help with your project.

Getting Started Resources

If you're looking to enhance your project or onboard new developers, these official THREE.js resources would be helpful:

Advanced Topics

For optimizing your city-scale environment:

Relevant Addons

These THREE.js addons could enhance your project:

Controls

Loaders

Physics

While you're using Cannon-ES for physics, THREE.js provides:

Environment

  • Sky - For realistic sky rendering

Performance Optimization

For a city-scale project, consider implementing:

  • Level of detail (LOD) management
  • Object pooling for frequently used assets
  • Frustum culling for large environments

Your project's approach to model configuration through JSON is well-structured, allowing for flexible positioning, scaling, and physics properties of city elements.

If you have specific questions about implementing any particular THREE.js feature in your virtual city project, feel free to ask!
