Why Does My Three.js Update Show a Gray Screen with No Errors?

I’m updating a program originally built with Three.js r88 to work with the latest version of Three.js, but now all I see is a gray screen and no errors are shown.
Here are the details:
var geometry = new THREE.PlaneBufferGeometry(2, 2);
with var geometry = new THREE.PlaneGeometry(2, 2);
.sample
variable in the fragment shader to sampleCoord
because sample
is now a reserved keyword.Check out the code:
Original Code: https://codepen.io/shubniggurath/pen/OEeMOd
My Updated Code: https://codepen.io/jfvwblgr-the-sasster/pen/ByBzRex
Am I missing any changes necessary for compatibility with the latest Three.js version?

After reviewing your code, I've identified several issues that need to be addressed when updating from Three.js r88 to the latest version:
Color Management: In newer versions of Three.js, color management is enabled by default, which can affect how your shaders render.
Shader Uniform Updates: The way uniforms are handled has changed in newer versions.
Renderer Configuration: Some renderer parameters have changed or been deprecated.
Disable Color Management (if your shaders were written without it in mind):
JAVASCRIPTTHREE.ColorManagement.enabled = false;
Update Shader Material Configuration:
Update Renderer Configuration:
JAVASCRIPTrenderer = new THREE.WebGLRenderer({ antialias: true, alpha: true }); // Use this instead of the deprecated preserveDrawingBuffer renderer.outputColorSpace = THREE.SRGBColorSpace;
Check Animation Loop:
requestAnimationFrame
is working properlyTexture Loading:
THREE.TextureLoader().loadAsync()
with proper error handlingSince you've already updated the PlaneBufferGeometry (which is now just PlaneGeometry) and fixed the shader variable name, these additional changes should help resolve your gray screen issue.
If you continue to have issues, you might want to check the browser console for any warnings that might not be showing as errors, and verify that all your assets (especially textures) are loading correctly.
