I am in the process of creating a game using Three.JS and I have modeled and successfully imported a city created in Sketchup. I now need to dynamically add some "follow me" arrows (as per the yellow arrows in the mockup below). I believe I might need to use Three.CurvePath to achieve this but am not sure if this is the best approach - do I need to manually model the path and calculate the tangent for each of the arrow objects so they point naturally around corners (as per left turn in the mockup)?
Hope this makes sense!

Reset to default 9 +100I might have a solution. Haven't used three.js in a while so not sure if this is the most elegant solution. I started with the Shapes Example since it shows:
- How to build a path procedurally (using mands that also handle curves)
- How to extract points from such a path
So I've split the problem into:
- Generating the path
- Traversing the path and interpolation (position and rotation)
Generating the path I've reused the rounded rectangle definition which looks similar to a part of your screenshot.
var roundedRectShape = new THREE.Shape();
( function roundedRect( ctx, x, y, width, height, radius ){
ctx.moveTo( x, y + radius );
ctx.lineTo( x, y + height - radius );
ctx.quadraticCurveTo( x, y + height, x + radius, y + height );
ctx.lineTo( x + width - radius, y + height) ;
ctx.quadraticCurveTo( x + width, y + height, x + width, y + height - radius );
ctx.lineTo( x + width, y + radius );
ctx.quadraticCurveTo( x + width, y, x + width - radius, y );
ctx.lineTo( x + radius, y );
ctx.quadraticCurveTo( x, y, x, y + radius );
} )( roundedRectShape, 0, 0, 200, 200, 20 );
Your path might not be a rounded rectangle, but the available types of curve functions(quadraticCurveTo,bezierCurveTo,splineThru) are really useful.
Another idea that es to mind is using a Ruby script to export path coordinates from Sketchup to three.js. Either you write that from scratch or use existing scripts. Here's one easily found on google.
Traversing the path
Luckily three.js already implements this through Path's getPoint(t) where t is a number from 0.0 to 1.0 representing the traversal on the path. So getting the position is trivial as getting the next interpolated position on the path. Then it's just a matter of using Math.atan2() to get the rotation:
t = (t + s)%1.0;//increment t while maintaining it between 0.0 and 1.0
var p = path.getPoint(t);//point at t
var pn = path.getPoint((t+s)%1.0);//point at next t iteration
if(p != null && pn != null){
//move to current position
arrow.position.x = p.x;
arrow.position.y = p.y;
//get orientation based on next position
arrow.rotation.z = Math.atan2(pn.y-p.y,pn.x-p.x);
}
In conclusion bellow is a basic example (using a cube instead of an arrow shape) to illustrate generating and traversing a path in three.js based on the shapes example:
