Learning three.js 08 :: First Person Gun View
178Implementing a first person gun view in three.js. Source code in the description.
This program uses code produced in video seven.
We add a new model from kenney.nl into our code, and position it in front of our camera. We also add a simple idle 'animation' so that the gun isn't permanently stuck in place. Also added in this video were optional arguments in the models index, castShadow and receiveShadow. By default, these are both active. However, you can now set model specific options to toggle either of these settings.
The weapon in this video is positioned according to some constants. Technically, the set of constants should be moved to a "viewmodel" object, so that they're easy to change. I will do this before the next video whose code is based on this one.
My university break has started now, so I should be able to post quite a few videos in the coming weeks.
If you want to see what's coming next, take a look at the github repo (linked below). The live demo for the next video is often available a day or two earlier than the video release.
