Summary


We saw a lot in this chapter. We introduced a couple of advanced geometries and even showed you how you can create interesting-looking geometries using a couple of simple binary operations. We showed you how you can create really beautiful shapes using advanced geometries such as THREE.ConvexGeometry, THREE.TubeGeometry, and THREE.LatheGeometry and experiment with these geometries to get the results you're looking for. A very nice feature is that we can also convert existing SVG paths to Three.js. Remember, though, that you still might need to fine-tune the paths using tools such as GIMP, Adobe Illustrator, or Inkscape.

If you want to create 3D text, you need to specify the font to use. Three.js comes with a couple of fonts you can use, but you can also create your own fonts. However, remember that complex fonts often won't convert correctly. And finally, with ThreeBSP, you have access to three binary operations you can apply to your mesh: union, subtract, and intersect. With union...
