FAQPage Schema
How do I configure shadows for directional, spot, and point lights in Three.js?

To configure Three.js shadows, you must enable shadow mapping on the renderer and set up shadow properties for directional, spot, and point lights. This Skill provides detailed instructions for managing these light types to ensure correct scene rendering.

What are the different Three.js shadow map types and how do they affect rendering?

Three.js shadow map types determine the quality and performance trade-offs of your rendered shadows. This Skill explains the implications of various shadow map configurations, helping you select the optimal type for your specific lighting setup.

Why do my Three.js shadows have visual artifacts in a complex scene with multiple lights?

Shadow artifacts in Three.js often occur due to improper shadow camera bounds or conflicting light setups. This Skill helps configure shadows for multiple lights to avoid artifacts and ensure the scene renders correctly.

What is the best way to optimize shadow rendering performance in Three.js?

Optimizing shadow rendering performance involves adjusting shadow map resolutions and updating shadow cameras efficiently. This Skill offers specific strategies to optimize shadow rendering performance in complex Three.js scenes.

Do I need a specific Three.js version to implement advanced shadow techniques?

Implementing advanced shadow techniques requires Three.js r160 or higher. You also need foundational knowledge of lighting and rendering concepts to properly manage shadow maps and optimize performance.

Can I use this approach to fix shadow rendering not working with spot lights?

Yes, this approach configures spot light shadows by adjusting shadow camera parameters and shadow map types. It addresses common rendering issues by providing setup strategies tailored to each light source.
