I am experimenting with a simple Three.js scene (novice in this area).
I am using the Three.js WebGLRenderer and have set up a plane, a cube that casts shadows and a directional light source. The result is shown in the image.
How do I:
1. Increase the quality of the shadow rendering?
2. Get rid of the jagged edges?
I have set the antialiasing to true but it does not seem to help in any browser ...
renderer = new THREE.WebGLRenderer({ antialias: true});
You can do two things. First set a renderer attribute
renderer.shadowMapType = THREE.PCFSoftShadowMap; // options are THREE.BasicShadowMap | THREE.PCFShadowMap | THREE.PCFSoftShadowMap
and then you can also increase the shadowmap size of your light with:
light.shadowMapWidth = 1024; // default is 512
light.shadowMapHeight = 1024; // default is 512
Another thing you could do is to increase the width/height of the segments of the object that receives the shadow.
For instance, change this:
var plane = new THREE.PlaneGeometry( 1000, 1000, 10, 10);
by this:
var plane = new THREE.PlaneGeometry( 1000, 1000, 100, 100);
Results:
