Point Cloud Effect in Three JS
This tutorial will focus on an exciting topic called a point cloud. Technically, we use a point cloud
for creating the polygons. Then using the normal of the polygons, we make the meshes. In Three
JS, the point cloud is also used for aesthetics, which means we use the points instead of meshes
to represent an object or a geometry. This style of representing the objects makes the design
more beautiful and charming than the mesh representation. We achieve this goal by simply using
the points material and adding the geometry and the material to the points instead of the mesh.
Point cloud representation makes your design look more modern and smart. You can use this
effect for technological and innovative items and products, giving them a more modern look.
Moreover, the point-cloud-based design could provide a fantastic look for any other type of
website other than technology or product based. Let’s give it a shot together!
A simple example from scratch:
