gillesdami / TC.js

Three.js and Cannon.js made easy !

TC: ThreeCannon

/!\ project discontinued /!\

The 3 great improvements

• TC.BodyObject3D is both a body and an object3d, no need to update the mesh position/quaternion at each frame !
• THREE.Vector3/CANNON.Vec3 and THREE.Quaternion/CANNON.Quaternion are now interchangeable
• TC.BodyObject3D contain all the information you need in the same place

Is there any cons ?

• Well currently the API is young and not unit tested so bugs may appear, check issues if you think you encountered one.
• Rotation property of BodyObject3D is not automatically updated from his quaternion, but you don't use rotation anyway, right ? :D

What does it look like ?

• You should compare the basic demo from cannon.js with the TC equivalent demo, i've added some comments to highlight the differences

Tips to upgrade with TC

• Your code stay valid if you don't use the property rotation of THREE.Object3d
• Delete your mechanism to update THREE.object3d instances position from CANNON.Body ones.
• Replace CANNON.Body by TC.BodyObject3D
• Add your mesh to the bodyObject and add the bodyObject to what you were adding your mesh
• Already done, enjoy !
