Documentation and Examples

React hooks for working with materials in React Vertex.

Install via npm:

npm install @react-vertex/material-hooks

Importing:

import {
  usePhongSolid,
  usePhongTextured,
  useBasicSolid,
  useBasicTextured,

Naming convention

This package uses a naming convention based (loosely) on the convention used by the .mtl format.

usePhongSolid(kd?, na?, ns?, ka?, ks?) => WebGLProgram

Hook for Phong with a solid color. This program reacts to lights in the scene.

Arguments:

kd (optional): An array of length 3 for the diffuse color (defaults to white [1, 1, 1]).

na (optional): Number for amount of ambient lighting should be between 0 and 1 (defaults to 0).

ns (optional): Number for specular strength should be between 0 and 1000 (defaults to 500).

ka (optional): An array of length 3 for the ambient color (defaults to white [1, 1, 1]).

ks (optional): An array of length 3 for the specular color (defaults to grey [0.6, 0.6, 0.6]).

Returns:

WebGLProgram: A WebGLProgram instance.

Required attributes:

Geometries using this program must set the following attributes:

• vec3 position
• vec3 normal

Example Usage:

import { useHex } from '@react-vertex/color-hooks'
import { usePhongSolid } from '@react-vertex/material-hooks'

...
  const diffuse = useHex('#323334', true)
  const program = usePhongSolid(diffuse, 0.15)

  return (
    <material program={program}>
      ...
    </material>
  )
...

usePhongTextured(mapKd, na?, ns?, ka?, ks?) => WebGLProgram

Hook for Phong with texture colors. This program reacts to lights in the scene.

Arguments:

mapKd: A texture to be used for the material colors.

na (optional): Number for amount of ambient lighting should be between 0 and 1 (defaults to 0).

ns (optional): Number for specular strength should be between 0 and 1000 (defaults to 500).

ka (optional): An array of length 3 for the ambient color (defaults to white [1, 1, 1]).

ks (optional): An array of length 3 for the specular color (defaults to grey [0.6, 0.6, 0.6]).

Returns:

WebGLProgram: A WebGLProgram instance.

Required attributes:

Geometries using this program must set the following attributes:

• vec3 position
• vec3 normal
• vec2 uv

Example Usage:

import { useTexture2d } from '@react-vertex/core'
import { usePhongTextured } from '@react-vertex/material-hooks'

    <material program={program}>
      ...
    </material>
  )
...
