# `three-good-godrays`
[![CI](https://github.com/ameobea/three-good-godrays/actions/workflows/cd.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/ameobea/three-good-godrays/actions/workflows/ci.yml)
[![Version](https://badgen.net/npm/v/three-good-godrays?color=green)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/three-good-godrays)
Good godrays effect for three.js using the [pmndrs `postprocessing` library](https://github.com/pmndrs/postprocessing)
Adapted from [original implementation](https://github.com/n8python/goodGodRays) by [@n8python](https://github.com/n8python)
**Demo**: <https://three-good-godrays.ameo.design>
![A screenshot showing the three-good-godrays effect in action within the sponza demo scene. A white sphere in the middle of a terrace with pillars has white godrays emanating from it along with prominent shadows.](https://ameo.link/u/al8.jpg)
## Install
`npm install three-good-godrays`
Or import from unpkg as a module:
```ts
import { GodraysPass } from 'https://unpkg.com/three-good-godrays@0.7.1/build/three-good-godrays.esm.js';
```
## Supported Three.JS Version
This library was tested to work with Three.JS versions `>= 0.125.0 <= 0.167.0`. Although it might work with versions outside that range, support is not guaranteed.
## Usage
```ts
import { EffectComposer, RenderPass } from 'postprocessing';
import * as THREE from 'three';
import { GodraysPass } from 'three-good-godrays';
const { scene, camera, renderer } = initYourScene();
// shadowmaps are needed for this effect
renderer.shadowMap.enabled = true;
renderer.shadowMap.type = THREE.PCFSoftShadowMap;
renderer.shadowMap.autoUpdate = true;
// Make sure to set applicable objects in your scene to cast + receive shadows
// so that this effect will work
scene.traverse(obj => {
if (obj instanceof THREE.Mesh) {
obj.castShadow = true;
obj.receiveShadow = true;
}
});
// godrays can be cast from either `PointLight`s or `DirectionalLight`s
const lightPos = new THREE.Vector3(0, 20, 0);
const pointLight = new THREE.PointLight(0xffffff, 1, 10000);
pointLight.castShadow = true;
pointLight.shadow.mapSize.width = 1024;
pointLight.shadow.mapSize.height = 1024;
pointLight.shadow.autoUpdate = true;
pointLight.shadow.camera.near = 0.1;
pointLight.shadow.camera.far = 1000;
pointLight.shadow.camera.updateProjectionMatrix();
pointLight.position.copy(lightPos);
scene.add(pointLight);
// set up rendering pipeline and add godrays pass at the end
const composer = new EffectComposer(renderer, { frameBufferType: THREE.HalfFloatType });
const renderPass = new RenderPass(scene, camera);
renderPass.renderToScreen = false;
composer.addPass(renderPass);
// Default values are shown. You can supply a sparse object or `undefined`.
const params = {
density: 1 / 128,
maxDensity: 0.5,
edgeStrength: 2,
edgeRadius: 2,
distanceAttenuation: 2,
color: new THREE.Color(0xffffff),
raymarchSteps: 60,
blur: true,
gammaCorrection: true,
};
const godraysPass = new GodraysPass(pointLight, camera, params);
// If this is the last pass in your pipeline, set `renderToScreen` to `true`
godraysPass.renderToScreen = true;
composer.addPass(godraysPass);
function animate() {
requestAnimationFrame(animate);
composer.render();
}
requestAnimationFrame(animate);
```
### Gamma Correction
Gamma correction is enabled by this effect by default, matching expectations of sRGB buffers from `postprocessing`. However, you can disable this by setting `gammaCorrection: false` in the configuration object for the pass.
This may be necessary if you use other effect passes after `GodraysPass` that perform their own output encoding. If you see artifacts similar to these:
![Screenshot of artifacts caused by double encoding in a Three.Js pmndrs postprocessing pipeline. There is a grainy pattern of colorful pixels appearing over an otherwise blank black background.](https://i.ameo.link/bto.png)
Try setting `gammaCorrection: false` on the `GodraysPass` or setting `encodeOutput = false` on any `EffectPass` that is added after the `GodraysPass`.
