Chapter 42: PolyhedronGeometry

Core Idea

A polyhedron is a solid in three dimensions with flat faces. This class will take an array of vertices, project them onto a sphere, and then divide them up to the desired level of detail.

Constructor

Signature
new PolyhedronGeometry( vertices : Array.<number>, indices : Array.<number>, radius : number, detail : number )

Properties

Property	Description
.parameters : Object	Holds the constructor parameters that have been used to generate the geometry. Any modification after instantiation does not change the geometry.

Key Takeaways

1. PolyhedronGeometry extends: EventDispatcher → BufferGeometry
2. Most relevant properties: parameters.
