@BenKorody That screenshot was just a string of text including multiple languages, and the (undocumented) colorRanges property #L249-L258" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/protectwise/tr…

@lojjic That’s great to hear; I’m a little lost though. Where could I find the example in the screenshot above? Doesn’t seem to be in the example folder. Would this be possible with the R3F hook or do I need to use the lib directly?

Coming soon to troika-three-text.

@BenKorody The multi-language support has been out for a while. Bold/italic/size/multi-font is technically supported in the low-level code, but mostly just needs an API for how to define it. Feel free to contribute to the conversation here! github.com/protectwise/tr…

@lojjic Any update on this? Omg please I just want bold and italic text in my paragraph.

@onirenaud Many thanks! I'd worked around it in a troika-three-text 0.50.3 patch, but this will unbreak older versions. 🙏

Some libraries relying on Three.js broke in r170 due to the type property of some materials being overridden, despite docs saying it shouldn’t be changed. Possible solution found to support node material tree-shaking while keeping backward compatibility: github.com/mrdoob/three.j…

@garrettkjohnson @Matterport @vsaitoo did most of the heavy lifting on this, by the way. I was lucky to come in and help put a few coats of paint on it.

@garrettkjohnson All @Matterport digital twins captured since mid '22 are processed to 3D tiles and rendered via 3DTilesRendererJS. It's allowed us to handle much larger spaces with increased detail. See samples at matterport.com/discover/?feat… and some tech demo videos attached.

Can people who have used/are using 3DTilesRendererJS for #threejs share their usecases & any screenshots or demos if you can? I'd like to share how the library has benefitted other applications with NASA JPL to help bolster the case for some more open source work #3dtiles #gis

@garrettkjohnson @Matterport Oh I just mean we'd have a lot of close meshes that either weren't visible, or whose bboxes were closer than their visible faces, and we wanted to downgrade those. We do randomized raycasting across the viewport and collect mesh face hits, and use that to adjust error targets.

@lojjic @Matterport Amazing! What do you mean by too aggressive? And do you have any more details on how you're performing occlusion culling? This is cool to see, thanks!

@garrettkjohnson @Matterport Said occlusion testing uses three-mesh-bvh too, of course. 😉

@garrettkjohnson @Matterport Interior spaces w/ lots of bbox overlap/occlusion posed some challenges; the default distance-based error calculation was too aggressive so we coupled it w/ occlusion testing, and added texture LODs onto the high mesh LODs. We found it extensible enough to bend to our needs. 😀

From fluid state to structured text. No idea where this would end. #troikatext #threejs #shaders

Some work in progress with Troika text renderer for #threejs and a custom (shader-based) fluid solver.

@onirenaud Nice, could any part of this make its way back into troika-three-text?

Working on a High Quality Text Rendering in WebGPU with threejs nodes. ✍️ It uses webgl-sdf-generator by @lojjic for the Signed Distance Field generation. 😊

@Gaurav_D_Kale @AshConnell @threejs +1 - There's LOTS of room for draw call optimization going forward too - bg elements can be instanced per layer (e.g. #L31-L32" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/protectwise/tr…). And text instances could be batched too (it's on my list). I agree focusing on DX and optimizing later is a smart approach. 😎

@Gaurav_D_Kale @threejs This is looking great! Very interested to see where you go with it. 😎

Crossword Reddit is having a day.

okay, so you're definitely the best at keeping your body completely still, what do you want, atrophy?

My 11-year-old son's hand span on the piano is now exactly as wide as mine. He's going to have a solid 10th when he's older and I'm going to be insanely jealous.

@googlefi Oh boy, you're really asking for it here.

Name a better feeling than unboxing a new phone…
