TubeGeometry

Creates a tube that extrudes along a 3D curve.

Code Example

class CustomSinCurve extends THREE.Curve {
	getPoint( t, optionalTarget = new THREE.Vector3() ) {
		const tx = t * 3 - 1.5;
		const ty = Math.sin( 2 * Math.PI * t );
		const tz = 0;
		return optionalTarget.set( tx, ty, tz );
	}
}
const path = new CustomSinCurve( 10 );
const geometry = new THREE.TubeGeometry( path, 20, 2, 8, false );
const material = new THREE.MeshBasicMaterial( { color: 0x00ff00 } );
const mesh = new THREE.Mesh( geometry, material );
scene.add( mesh );

Constructor

new TubeGeometry( path : Curve, tubularSegments : number, radius : number, radialSegments : number, closed : boolean )

Constructs a new tube geometry.

path

A 3D curve defining the path of the tube.
Default is QuadraticBezierCurve3.
tubularSegments

The number of segments that make up the tube.
Default is 64.
radius

The radius of the tube.
Default is 1.
radialSegments

The number of segments that make up the cross-section.
Default is 8.
closed

Whether the tube is closed or not.
Default is false.

Properties

.parameters : Object

Holds the constructor parameters that have been used to generate the geometry. Any modification after instantiation does not change the geometry.

Static Methods

.fromJSON( data : Object ) : TubeGeometry

Factory method for creating an instance of this class from the given JSON object.

data

A JSON object representing the serialized geometry.
Returns: A new instance.
