<h1>How to use post-processing</h1>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Many three.js applications render their 3D objects directly to the screen. Sometimes, however, you want to apply one or more graphical
|
||
|
|
effects like Depth-Of-Field, Bloom, Film Grain or various types of Anti-aliasing. Post-processing is a widely used approach
|
||
|
|
to implement such effects. First, the scene is rendered to a render target which represents a buffer in the video card's memory.
|
||
|
|
In the next step one or more post-processing passes apply filters and effects to the image buffer before it is eventually rendered to
|
||
|
|
the screen.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
three.js provides a complete post-processing solution via [page:EffectComposer] to implement such a workflow.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h2>Workflow</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
The first step in the process is to import all necessary files from the examples directory. The guide assumes you are using the official
|
||
|
|
[link:https://www.npmjs.com/package/three npm package] of three.js. For our basic demo in this guide we need the following files.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<code>
|
||
|
|
import { EffectComposer } from 'three/addons/postprocessing/EffectComposer.js';
|
||
|
|
import { RenderPass } from 'three/addons/postprocessing/RenderPass.js';
|
||
|
|
import { GlitchPass } from 'three/addons/postprocessing/GlitchPass.js';
|
||
|
|
</code>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
After all files are successfully imported, we can create our composer by passing in an instance of [page:WebGLRenderer].
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<code>
|
||
|
|
const composer = new EffectComposer( renderer );
|
||
|
|
</code>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
When using a composer, it's necessary to change the application's animation loop. Instead of calling the render method of
|
||
|
|
[page:WebGLRenderer], we now use the respective counterpart of [page:EffectComposer].
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<code>
|
||
|
|
function animate() {
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
requestAnimationFrame( animate );
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
composer.render();
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
</code>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Our composer is now ready so it's possible to configure the chain of post-processing passes. These passes are responsible for creating
|
||
|
|
the final visual output of the application. They are processed in order of their addition/insertion. In our example, the instance of `RenderPass`
|
||
|
|
is executed first and then the instance of `GlitchPass`. The last enabled pass in the chain is automatically rendered to the screen. The setup
|
||
|
|
of the passes looks like so:
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<code>
|
||
|
|
const renderPass = new RenderPass( scene, camera );
|
||
|
|
composer.addPass( renderPass );
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
const glitchPass = new GlitchPass();
|
||
|
|
composer.addPass( glitchPass );
|
||
|
|
</code>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
`RenderPass` is normally placed at the beginning of the chain in order to provide the rendered scene as an input for the next post-processing step. In our case,
|
||
|
|
`GlitchPass` is going to use these image data to apply a wild glitch effect. Check out this [link:https://threejs.org/examples/webgl_postprocessing_glitch live example]
|
||
|
|
to see it in action.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h2>Built-in Passes</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
You can use a wide range of pre-defined post-processing passes provided by the engine. They are located in the
|
||
|
|
[link:https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js/tree/dev/examples/jsm/postprocessing postprocessing] directory.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h2>Custom Passes</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Sometimes you want to write a custom post-processing shader and include it into the chain of post-processing passes. For this scenario,
|
||
|
|
you can utilize `ShaderPass`. After importing the file and your custom shader, you can use the following code to setup the pass.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<code>
|
||
|
|
import { ShaderPass } from 'three/addons/postprocessing/ShaderPass.js';
|
||
|
|
import { LuminosityShader } from 'three/addons/shaders/LuminosityShader.js';
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
// later in your init routine
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
const luminosityPass = new ShaderPass( LuminosityShader );
|
||
|
|
composer.addPass( luminosityPass );
|
||
|
|
</code>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
The repository provides a file called [link:https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js/blob/master/examples/jsm/shaders/CopyShader.js CopyShader] which is a
|
||
|
|
good starting code for your own custom shader. `CopyShader` just copies the image contents of the [page:EffectComposer]'s read buffer
|
||
|
|
to its write buffer without applying any effects.
