TresCanvas

The TresCanvas component is the main component of Tres. It's the one that creates the ThreeJS WebGLRenderer.

<template>
  <TresCanvas shadows :output-encoding="SRGBColorSpace">
    <TresPerspectiveCamera />
      <!-- Your scene goes here -->
  </TresCanvas>
</template>

Canvas size

The TresCanvas component will use the parent element size as the canvas size. If you want to use the window size as the canvas size, you can set the window-size prop to true.

<template>
  <TresCanvas window-size>
    <!-- Your scene goes here -->
  </TresCanvas>
</template>

Or you can use CSS to set your canvas size.

html,
body {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  height: 100%;
  width: 100%;
}
#canvas {
  height: 100%;
  width: 100%;
}

Presets

Tres comes with a few presets for the TresCanvas component. You can use them by setting the preset prop.

Realistic

The realistic preset makes it easy to setup the renderer for more realistic 3D scenes.

<template>
  <TresCanvas preset="realistic">
    <!-- Your scene goes here -->
  </TresCanvas>
</template>

It's equivalent to:

renderer.shadows = true
renderer.physicallyCorrectLights = true
renderer.outputColorSpace = SRGBColorSpace
renderer.toneMapping = ACESFilmicToneMapping
renderer.toneMappingExposure = 3
renderer.shadowMap.enabled = true
renderer.shadowMap.type = PCFSoftShadowMap

Props

Prop	Description	Default
alpha	Controls the default clear alpha value. When set to true, the value is 0. Otherwise it's 1.	false
antialias	Whether to perform antialiasing.	true
camera	A manual camera to be used by the renderer.
clearColor	The color the renderer will use to clear the canvas.	#000000
context	This can be used to attach the renderer to an existing RenderingContext
depth	Whether the drawing buffer has a depth buffer of at least 16 bits.	true
disableRender	Disable render on requestAnimationFrame, useful for PostProcessing	false
failIfMajorPerformanceCaveat	Whether the renderer creation will fail upon low performance is detected. See WebGL spec for details.	false
logarithmicDepthBuffer	Whether to use a logarithmic depth buffer. It may be necessary to use this if dealing with huge differences in scale in a single scene. Note that this setting uses gl_FragDepth if available which disables the Early Fragment Test optimization and can cause a decrease in performance.	false
outputColorSpace	Defines the output encoding	LinearEncoding
powerPreference	Provides a hint to the user agent indicating what configuration of GPU is suitable for this WebGL context. Can be "high-performance", "low-power" or "default".	default
precision	Shader precision. Can be "highp", "mediump" or "lowp".	"highp" if supported by the device
premultipliedAlpha	Whether the renderer will assume that colors have premultiplied alpha.	true
preserveDrawingBuffer	Whether to preserve the buffers until manually cleared or overwritten..	false
shadows	Enable shadows in the renderer	false
shadowMapType	Set the shadow map type	PCFSoftShadowMap
stencil	Whether the drawing buffer has a stencil buffer of at least 8 bits.	true
toneMapping	Defines the tone mapping exposure used by the renderer.	NoToneMapping
toneMappingExposure	Exposure level of tone mapping.	1
useLegacyLights	Whether to use the legacy lighting mode or not	true
windowSize	Whether to use the window size as the canvas size or the parent element.	false

Defaults

Tres tries to be as little opinionated as possible. That's why it doesn't set almost any default value for the TresCanvas component. It uses the defaults from three.js. The only exception is the antialias prop. It's set to true by default.
