A sprite is a plane that always faces towards the camera, generally with a
partially transparent texture applied.
Sprites do not cast shadows, setting castShadow = true will have no effect.
const map = new v3d.TextureLoader().load('sprite.png');
const material = new v3d.SpriteMaterial({ map: map });
const sprite = new v3d.Sprite(material);
scene.add(sprite);
material - (optional) an instance of SpriteMaterial. Default is a white SpriteMaterial.
Creates a new Sprite.
See the base Object3D class for common properties.
An instance of SpriteMaterial, defining the object's appearance. Default is a white SpriteMaterial.
The sprite's anchor point, and the point around which the sprite rotates. A value of (0.5, 0.5) corresponds to the midpoint of the sprite. A value of (0, 0) corresponds to the lower left corner of the sprite. The default is (0.5, 0.5).
See the base Object3D class for common methods.
Returns a clone of this Sprite object and any descendants.
Copies the properties of the passed sprite to this one.
Get intersections between a casted ray and this sprite. Raycaster.intersectObject() will call this method. The raycaster must be initialized by calling Raycaster.setFromCamera() before raycasting against sprites.
