Scene
Provides global scene functionality like raycasting.
Kind: global class
.activeViews ⇒ Array.<ViewComponent>
Kind: instance property of Scene
Returns: Array.<ViewComponent> - currently active view components
.clearColor

Kind: instance property of Scene
0.8.5+
| Param | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| color | Array.<number> | new clear color (RGBA) |
.rayCast (o, d, group)
Cast a ray through the scene and find intersecting objects.
The resulting ray hit will contain up to 4 closest ray hits, sorted by increasing distance.
Kind: instance method of Scene
Note: The returned RayHit object is owned by the Scene instance and
will be reused with the next rayCast call.
| Param | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| o | Array.<number> | Ray origin |
| d | Array.<number> | Ray direction |
| group | number | Collision group to filter by: only objects that are part of given group are considered for raycast. |
.addObject (parent) ⇒ Object
Add object to the scene
Kind: instance method of Scene
Returns: Object - newly created object
| Param | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| parent | Object | Parent object or null |
.addObjects (count, parent, componentCountHint) ⇒ Array.<Object>
Batch-add objects to the scene
Will provide better performance for adding multiple objects (e.g. > 16) than calling addObject repeatidly in a loop.
By providing upfront information of how many objects will be required, the engine is able to batch-allocate the required memory rather than convervatively grow the memory in small steps.
Experimental: This API might change in upcoming versions.
Kind: instance method of Scene
Returns: Array.<Object> - newly created objects
| Param | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| count | number | Number of objects to add |
| parent | Object | Parent object or null, default null |
| componentCountHint | number | Hint for how many components in total will be added to the created objects afterwards, default 0. |

Kind: instance method of Scene
| Param | Description |
|---|---|
| filename | Path to the .bin file |
.append (filename) ⇒ Promise.<Object>
Load a external 3D file (.gltf, .glb)
Loads and parses the gltf file and its images and appends the result to scene.
Kind: instance method of Scene
Returns: Promise.<Object> - Root of the loaded scene
