TorusKnotGeometry

Creates a torus knot, the particular shape of which is defined by a pair of coprime integers, p and q. If p and q are not coprime, the result will be a torus link.

Code Example


    const geometry = new v3d.TorusKnotGeometry(10, 3, 100, 16);
    const material = new v3d.MeshBasicMaterial({ color: 0xffff00 });
    const torusKnot = new v3d.Mesh(geometry, material);
    scene.add(torusKnot);

Constructor

TorusKnotGeometry(radius : Float, tube : Float, tubularSegments : Integer, radialSegments : Integer, p : Integer, q : Integer)

radius - Radius of the torus. Default is 1.
tube — Radius of the tube. Default is 0.4.
tubularSegments — Default is 64.
radialSegments — Default is 8.
p — This value determines, how many times the geometry winds around its axis of rotational symmetry. Default is 2.
q — This value determines, how many times the geometry winds around a circle in the interior of the torus. Default is 3.

Procedural geometry is fun. However, in real life applications this feature is rarely needed. It would be more efficient do design torus knots in the preferred modelling suite and export/load to Verge3D via glTF.

Properties

See the base BufferGeometry class for common properties.

# .parameters : Object

An object with a property for each of the constructor parameters. Any modification after instantiation does not change the geometry.

Methods
