I've been browsing through some questions that have already been asked by others here, and one that caught my attention is:
Transparent background with three.js
I am struggling to make the background transparent instead of black as described in the question.
Here are the lines I added (as mentioned in the above question):
var renderer = new THREE.WebGLRenderer( { alpha: true } );
renderer.setClearColor( 0x000000, 0 );
Unfortunately, it's not working for me. Below is the complete code snippet:
var container, stats;
var camera, scene, renderer;
var mouseX = 0, mouseY = 0;
var windowHalfX = window.innerWidth / 2;
var windowHalfY = window.innerHeight / 2;
var renderer = new THREE.WebGLRenderer( { alpha: true } );
init();
animate();
function init() {
container = document.createElement( 'div' );
document.body.appendChild( container );
camera = new THREE.PerspectiveCamera( 45, window.innerWidth / window.innerHeight, 1, 2000 );
camera.position.z = 250;
// scene
scene = new THREE.Scene();
var ambient = new THREE.AmbientLight( 0x444444 );
scene.add( ambient );
var directionalLight = new THREE.DirectionalLight( 0xffeedd );
directionalLight.position.set( 0, 0, 1 ).normalize();
scene.add( directionalLight );
var geometry = new THREE.BoxGeometry( 100, 100, 100 );
var material = new THREE.MeshLambertMaterial( { color: 0x00ff00 } );
var cube = new THREE.Mesh( geometry, material );
cube.rotation.y = Math.PI * 0.35;
scene.add( cube );
renderer = new THREE.WebGLRenderer();
renderer.setPixelRatio( window.devicePixelRatio );
renderer.setSize( window.innerWidth, window.innerHeight );
container.appendChild( renderer.domElement );
document.addEventListener( 'mousemove', onDocumentMouseMove, false );
//
window.addEventListener( 'resize', onWindowResize, false );
}
function onWindowResize() {
windowHalfX = window.innerWidth / 2;
windowHalfY = window.innerHeight / 2;
camera.aspect = window.innerWidth / window.innerHeight;
camera.updateProjectionMatrix();
renderer.setSize( window.innerWidth, window.innerHeight );
}
function onDocumentMouseMove( event ) {
mouseX = ( event.clientX - windowHalfX ) / 2;
mouseY = ( event.clientY - windowHalfY ) / 2;
}
//
function animate() {
requestAnimationFrame( animate );
render();
}
function render() {
camera.position.x += ( mouseX - camera.position.x ) * .05;
camera.position.y += ( - mouseY - camera.position.y ) * .05;
camera.lookAt( scene.position );
renderer.render( scene, camera );
renderer.setClearColor( 0x000000, 0 );
