Why does my THREE.WebGLRenderer produce lower quality renders than the online glTF viewer?

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

Hi,
I am trying to replicate the renderer settings from the online glTF viewer using THREE.WebGLRenderer, but my results are unsatisfactory. The texture quality on the sign is poor compared to the model in the online viewer, and there is a noticeable moiré effect on the character and concrete, which are not present in the reference image.
I have included a screenshot of the renderer settings to help diagnose the issue:

I’m not sure what is causing the degradation in quality and would appreciate any insights or suggestions.

WebGLRenderer Quality Settings

Based on the screenshot you've provided, I can see you're trying to match the settings from the online glTF viewer. The quality issues you're experiencing (poor texture quality and moiré effects) are likely related to several renderer settings that affect image quality.

Here are some suggestions to improve your rendering quality:

Key Settings to Adjust

  1. Enable antialiasing:

    JAVASCRIPT
    const renderer = new THREE.WebGLRenderer({ antialias: true });
  2. Set pixel ratio to match your device's display:

    JAVASCRIPT
    renderer.setPixelRatio(window.devicePixelRatio);
  3. Enable tone mapping (as shown in your screenshot):

    JAVASCRIPT
    renderer.toneMapping = THREE.ACESFilmicToneMapping; renderer.toneMappingExposure = 1.0; // Adjust as needed
  4. Enable shadow mapping with higher quality settings:

    JAVASCRIPT
    renderer.shadowMap.enabled = true; renderer.shadowMap.type = THREE.PCFSoftShadowMap; // Softer shadows
  5. Texture filtering - Make sure your textures have proper mipmaps and filtering:

    JAVASCRIPT
    texture.minFilter = THREE.LinearMipMapLinearFilter; texture.magFilter = THREE.LinearFilter; texture.anisotropy = renderer.capabilities.getMaxAnisotropy();

The anisotropic filtering is particularly important for reducing texture blurring at oblique angles, which might be causing your sign texture to look poor.

Additional Considerations

  • Check if your model's textures have mipmaps generated
  • Ensure your textures are power-of-two dimensions for optimal performance
  • Consider using higher resolution textures if the current ones are too low-res

Try implementing these settings to match what you see in the screenshot, and it should help improve the quality of your rendering.
