Check out my demo. I'm considering using cannon.js for collision detection and would appreciate any suggestions or feedback.

Based on your image showing what appears to be a 3D planet scene, I can provide some information about controls that might be useful for your project, especially if you're planning to implement collision detection with cannon.js.

Camera Controls for Your Planet Scene

For a planet visualization like the one in your image, you might want to consider using one of these Three.js controls:

OrbitControls

This is likely the most suitable option for a planet visualization, allowing users to:

  • Orbit around the planet
  • Zoom in and out
  • Pan the camera

ArcballControls

Another good option that provides:

  • Intuitive rotation around a target (your planet)
  • Multiple interaction modes
  • Customizable mouse actions

Implementing with Cannon.js

When integrating Cannon.js for collision detection with your Three.js scene:

  1. You'll need to create corresponding physics bodies for your visual objects
  2. Synchronize the positions and rotations between Three.js meshes and Cannon.js bodies
  3. Consider using helpers to visualize collision boundaries during development

For a planet scene with collision detection, you might want to look into:

  • Using sphere or compound shapes for your planet
  • Setting appropriate mass and material properties
  • Implementing gravity fields if needed

If you need more specific guidance on implementing controls or Cannon.js integration, please provide more details about your specific implementation goals.
