How can I assign distinct hyperlink actions to each GLTF object in Three.js?

I'm a beginner working with Three.js and GLTFLoader. I loaded a GLTF scene containing three objects and added it to the scene. My goal is for each object to open a unique URL when clicked. Although the raycaster correctly detects clicks on each object (as seen in the console), all objects end up opening the URL of the first object (Amazon).
I've tried adding multiple URL calls after intersection detection, but it seems that every object triggers the same link. I suspect my approach to differentiating the objects after GLTF is loaded might be wrong. What am I missing?
Here is my GLTFLoader and Raycaster code:
JAVASCRIPTconst loader = new GLTFLoader().setPath('public/foldery/'); loader.load('folder 3d.gltf', (gltf) => { const mesh = gltf.scene; mesh.traverse((child) => { if (child.isMesh) { child.castShadow = true; child.receiveShadow = true; } }); mesh.position.set(0, 1.35, 0); scene.add(mesh); const raycaster = new THREE.Raycaster(); const pointer = new THREE.Vector2(); let selectedObject = undefined; document.addEventListener('mousedown', onMouseDown); function onMouseDown(event) { const coords = new THREE.Vector2( (event.clientX / renderer.domElement.clientWidth) * 2 - 1, -((event.clientY / renderer.domElement.clientHeight) * 2 - 1), ); raycaster.setFromCamera(coords, camera); var intersections = raycaster.intersectObjects(scene.children, true); if (intersections.length > 0) { // it seems to work up to this point window.open('https://www.amazon.com') (intersectObjects(cube1)); window.open('https://www.google.com') (intersectObjects(cube2)); window.open('https://www.facebook.com') (intersectObjects(cube3)); //all 3 cubes open amazon! } }; });

I can see the issue in your code. The problem is in how you're handling the intersections and trying to open different URLs based on which object was clicked. Let me explain the issues and provide a solution:
window.open()
for all three URLs regardless of which object was clickedwindow.open('url') (intersectObjects(cube1))
is incorrectcube1
, cube2
, and cube3
which aren't defined in your codeHere's how to fix your code to open different URLs based on which object is clicked:
JAVASCRIPTconst loader = new GLTFLoader().setPath('public/foldery/'); loader.load('folder 3d.gltf', (gltf) => { const mesh = gltf.scene; // Store references to your objects let objectsMap = {}; // Traverse and name your objects for identification mesh.traverse((child) => { if (child.isMesh) { child.castShadow = true; child.receiveShadow = true; // Store the object reference by its name objectsMap[child.name] = child; // You can also set a custom property to store the URL // This assumes your objects have names in the GLTF file if (child.name === "cube1" || child.name.includes("cube1")) { child.userData.url = "https://www.amazon.com"; } else if (child.name === "cube2" || child.name.includes("cube2")) { child.userData.url = "https://www.google.com"; } else if (child.name === "cube3" || child.name.includes("cube3")) { child.userData.url = "https://www.facebook.com"; } } }); mesh.position.set(0, 1.35, 0); scene.add(mesh); const raycaster = new THREE.Raycaster(); document.addEventListener('mousedown', onMouseDown); function onMouseDown(event) { const coords = new THREE.Vector2( (event.clientX / renderer.domElement.clientWidth) * 2 - 1, -((event.clientY / renderer.domElement.clientHeight) * 2 - 1), ); raycaster.setFromCamera(coords, camera); var intersections = raycaster.intersectObjects(scene.children, true); if (intersections.length > 0) { // Get the first intersected object const object = intersections[0].object; // Check if the object has a URL in userData if (object.userData.url) { window.open(object.userData.url); } else { console.log("Clicked on object:", object.name); } } } });
If your objects have specific names in the GLTF file, you can use those names directly:
JAVASCRIPTfunction onMouseDown(event) { // ... raycaster setup code ... var intersections = raycaster.intersectObjects(scene.children, true); if (intersections.length > 0) { const object = intersections[0].object; // Check object name and open appropriate URL if (object.name === "cube1" || object.name.includes("cube1")) { window.open("https://www.amazon.com"); } else if (object.name === "cube2" || object.name.includes("cube2")) { window.open("https://www.google.com"); } else if (object.name === "cube3" || object.name.includes("cube3")) { window.open("https://www.facebook.com"); } } }
To see the names of your objects, add this to your traverse function:
JAVASCRIPTmesh.traverse((child) => { if (child.isMesh) { console.log("Mesh name:", child.name); // rest of your code } });
To see which object was clicked, add this to your intersection handler:
JAVASCRIPTif (intersections.length > 0) { console.log("Clicked on:", intersections[0].object.name); // rest of your code }
This should help you correctly identify which object was clicked and open the appropriate URL.

Based on the reference images you've shared, the impressive lighting effects on these watches are likely achieved through a combination of techniques. While I can't see the exact images you've referenced (as I can't process the images directly), I can provide guidance on how to achieve high-quality watch rendering in Three.js.
To create realistic watch lighting similar to professional product photography, you would typically use:
JAVASCRIPT// Load an HDR environment map const pmremGenerator = new THREE.PMREMGenerator(renderer); pmremGenerator.compileEquirectangularShader(); new THREE.RGBELoader() .setDataType(THREE.UnsignedByteType) .load('path/to/studio_hdri.hdr', function(texture) { const envMap = pmremGenerator.fromEquirectangular(texture).texture; scene.environment = envMap; texture.dispose(); pmremGenerator.dispose(); });
JAVASCRIPT// Main key light (simulates main studio light) const keyLight = new THREE.DirectionalLight(0xffffff, 1.0); keyLight.position.set(1, 1, 2); scene.add(keyLight); // Fill light (reduces harsh shadows) const fillLight = new THREE.DirectionalLight(0xffffff, 0.3); fillLight.position.set(-1, 0.5, 1); scene.add(fillLight); // Rim light (highlights edges) const rimLight = new THREE.DirectionalLight(0xffffff, 0.6); rimLight.position.set(0, 0, -2); scene.add(rimLight); // Optional soft ambient light const ambientLight = new THREE.AmbientLight(0xffffff, 0.2); scene.add(ambientLight);
JAVASCRIPT// For metallic parts (case, bracelet) const metalMaterial = new THREE.MeshStandardMaterial({ color: 0x888888, metalness: 0.9, roughness: 0.1, envMapIntensity: 1.0 }); // For glass/crystal const glassMaterial = new THREE.MeshPhysicalMaterial({ color: 0xffffff, metalness: 0, roughness: 0, transmission: 1.0, // Transparent thickness: 0.5, // Glass thickness envMapIntensity: 0.8, clearcoat: 1.0, clearcoatRoughness: 0.1 }); // For watch face const faceMaterial = new THREE.MeshStandardMaterial({ color: 0x111111, metalness: 0.1, roughness: 0.8, envMapIntensity: 0.3 });
For even more realism, you might consider:
RectAreaLight
for studio-like soft box lighting effectsSpotLight
with shadows for dramatic highlightsThe combination of proper environment mapping, strategic light placement, and physically accurate materials will get you very close to the professional product rendering look you're aiming for.
