a sphere mesh with normals, texture coordinates and indices
npm install primitive-sphere
A minimal UV sphere geometry for 3D rendering, including normals, UVs and cell indices. The algorithm has been adapted from BabylonJS.
``js
var radius = 1
var mesh = require('primitive-sphere')(radius, {
segments: 16
})
// the simplicial complex
console.log(mesh.positions, mesh.cells)
// rendering attributes
console.log(mesh.uvs)
console.log(mesh.normals)
`
#### mesh = sphere(radius, [opt])
Creates a new UV sphere mesh with the given radius (default 1) and options:
- segments number of segments to use, defaults to 32
The returned mesh is an object with the following data:
`
{
positions: [ [x, y, z], [x, y, z], ... ],
cells: [ [a, b, c], [a, b, c], ... ],
uvs: [ [u, v], [u, v], ... ],
normals: [ [x, y, z], [x, y, z], ... ]
}
