Physijs with TextGeometry elements

[jminguely]

Hello,

first of all, thank you for this amazing plugin !

I'm doing a job for school where I would need to animate Typography in 3D. I tried to animate a TextGeometry element with threejs + physijs and the results are quite unexpected.

You can look at it here: http://minguely.ch/three/

Have I done something wrong, or the plugin, in its state, just can't manager Text element?

Thanks in advance !

Julien

You are using a BoxMesh for the text, which takes the total size of the geometry and wraps a box around it. Unfortunately, at the moment there are no concave meshes for dynamic models - meaning you can either let an object move around or it can be concave.

If you do not need small objects to go through holes in the letters I would recommend creating each letter individually as a BoxMesh. You can then add the individual letters to a parent object to keep them grouped together. See the wiki page on compound shapes for more details.

Okay, thank you for the very quick response!

I'll try your solution this week.
