I'm new to three.js and @react-fiber/three, and I created a simple box with 3 planes, used a spotLight. I'm trying to cast shadows of the box on the planes but it doesn't work.
Let me show you my code:
Test.js
The following code is imported in App.js
import React from "react";
import { Canvas } from "@react-three/fiber";
import { OrbitControls } from "@react-three/drei";
import Scene from "./Scenes/Scene";
const Test = () => {
return (
<Canvas
colorManagement
shadowMap
camera={{ position: [15, 15, 15], fov: 60 }}
>
{/* <ambientLight color="#ffffff" intensity={0.1} /> */}
<spotLight
position={[2, 5, 2]}
color="#ffffff"
intensity={2.5}
shadow-mapSize-height={1024}
shadow-mapSize-width={1024}
shadow-camera-far={50}
shadow-camera-left={-10}
shadow-camera-right={10}
shadow-camera-top={10}
shadow-camera-bottom={-10}
castShadow
/>
<Scene />
<OrbitControls enablePan={true} enableZoom={true} enableRotate={true} />
</Canvas>
);
};
export default Test;
Scene.js in src/Scenes/
The following code is imported in Test.js (above)
import React, { useRef } from "react";
import { useFrame } from "@react-three/fiber";
import { Box, Plane } from "@react-three/drei";
const Scene = () => {
const boxRef = useRef();
useFrame(() => {
boxRef.current.rotation.y += 0.001;
boxRef.current.rotation.x += 0.001;
boxRef.current.rotation.z += 0.001;
});
return (
<group>
<Box
ref={boxRef}
castShadow
receiveShadow
position={[0, 0.5, 0]}
args={[3, 3, 3]}
>
<meshStandardMaterial attach="material" color="#C42727" />
</Box>
<Plane
receiveShadow
rotation={[-Math.PI / 2, 0, 0]}
position={[0, -2, 0]}
args={[15, 15]}
>
<meshPhongMaterial attach="material" color="#ffffff" />
</Plane>
<Plane
receiveShadow
rotation={[0, 0, 0]}
position={[0, 5.5, -7.5]}
args={[15, 15]}
>
<meshPhongMaterial attach="material" color="#ffffff" />
</Plane>
<Plane
receiveShadow
rotation={[0, Math.PI / 2, 0]}
position={[-7.5, 5.5, 0]}
args={[15, 15]}
>
<meshPhongMaterial attach="material" color="#ffffff" />
</Plane>
</group>
);
};
export default Scene;
As you can see I've added castShadow to the following:
- spotLight
- Box
And receiveShadow to the Planes.
To my surprise, it still doesn't work.
