three-buffergeometry-sort
I primarily made this so working with THREE.js BufferGeometry would be easier to work with. Some of this code is based on this StackOverflow post.
How to use
// Import this library
var BGSorter = require("three-buffergeometry-sort");
// Create your BufferGeometry with 'positions' attribute
this.points = new THREE.BufferGeometry();
this.points.addAttribute('position', positions);
// Initialize the sorter
var sorter = BGSorter();
function render() {
// Sort positions in ascending order in terms of distance from camera every frame
sorter.sort(this.points.attributes, cameraPosition);
window.requestAnimationFrame(render);
}
window.requestAnimationFrame(render);You can also make it sort every N frames
var sorter = BGSorter(5);
function render() {
// Sort positions every 5 frames
sorter.sort(this.points.attributes, cameraPosition);
window.requestAnimationFrame(render);
}
window.requestAnimationFrame(render);
