Chapter 607: TessellateModifier

Core Idea

This class can be used to modify a geometry by breaking its edges if they are longer than maximum length.

Key Concepts

• maxEdgeLength : number: The maximum edge length.
• maxIterations : number: The maximum edge length.

Code Examples

const modifier = new TessellateModifier( 8, 6 );
geometry = modifier.modify( geometry );

• What it demonstrates: Typical usage of TessellateModifier.

Reference Tables

Constructor

Signature
new TessellateModifier( maxEdgeLength : number, maxIterations : number )

Properties

Property	Description
.maxEdgeLength : number	The maximum edge length.
.maxIterations : number	The maximum edge length.

Methods

Method	Description
.modify( geometry : BufferGeometry ) : BufferGeometry	Returns a new, modified version of the given geometry by applying a tessellation. Please note that the resulting geometry is always non-indexed.

Key Takeaways

1. Most relevant properties: maxEdgeLength, maxIterations.
2. Key methods: modify.
