SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Three.js post-processing centralizes the application of screen-space effects to enhance visuals, enabling designers and developers to push bloom, depth of field, color grading, and custom shaders without manual per-frame work.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • EffectComposer-based pipeline enabling multiple passes (render, bloom, dof, color correction, FXAA)
  • Ready-to-adapt examples for bloom, dof, vignette, gamma correction, and custom ShaderPass
  • Use cases include games, interactive visualizations, and real-time data apps requiring cinematic rendering

Quick Start

Configure an EffectComposer with a RenderPass and a BloomPass to achieve a glow in a Three.js scene.

FAQPage Schema
How do I add bloom and depth of field to a Three.js scene?

You add bloom and depth of field to a Three.js scene by configuring an EffectComposer with a chained pipeline of multiple passes, starting with a RenderPass and appending a BloomPass or custom ShaderPass for screen-space effects.

What is post-processing in WebGL and when should I use it?

Post-processing in WebGL is the application of screen-space effects to enhance realism. Use it for games, interactive visualizations, and real-time data apps requiring cinematic effects like bloom, vignette, or color grading.

Can I use custom shaders with Three.js EffectComposer?

Yes, you can use custom shaders with the Three.js EffectComposer by adding a custom ShaderPass to the pass chain, allowing personalized screen-space effects alongside built-in passes like bloom, depth of field, and FXAA.

Do I need Three.js postprocessing modules to apply screen-space effects?

Yes, you need Three.js postprocessing modules, a renderer, and a configured pass chain to apply screen-space effects. The pipeline requires at least a RenderPass and an effect pass like BloomPass to function.

What's the best way to apply color grading and FXAA in Three.js?

The best way to apply color grading and FXAA in Three.js is using an EffectComposer-based pipeline, which centralizes multiple passes to apply these screen-space effects without manual per-frame work.

Why does my Three.js EffectComposer pipeline require multiple passes?

An EffectComposer pipeline requires multiple passes because post-processing effects are applied sequentially in screen-space. You need a RenderPass to capture the base scene before appending effect passes like bloom, depth of field, or vignette.
