#MOD3

3D Modifier Library for JavaScript

This is a port of the AS3dMod Modifier Library for ActionScript 3 to JavaScript.

supports: Three.js , Pre3d , J3D , Copperlicht , CubicVR.js

It is named MOD3 to signify that it has support for Three.js

It is a complete port (up to limitations between the 2 frameworks)  
Not all Modifiers of AS3DMod can be ported but most can.  
However the structure is ready for more modifiers to be added (even custom ones)

###Contents

• Live Examples
• 3D Engines Support
• 3D Modifiers Support
• API Reference
• Todo
• How to debug
• ChangeLog

###Live Examples

• 3D flipbook (Three.js, MOD3.js and Tween.js)
• Dancing Box (a simple blend of 3D manipulation and sound visualization)

###Support for 3D JavaScript engines

• Three.js with examples (r58)
• J3D with examples (Build 51)
• Copperlicht with examples
• CubicVR with examples
• Pre3d with examples (my pre3d examples are a liitle blurry but you'll get the picture)

###Modifiers supported (up to present)

• Pivot (note: Pivot does not work with Pre3d)
• Bend
• Twist
• Taper
• Skew
• Noise
• Wheel
• Bloat
• Break

###TODO

• optimize (math ops, caching, modifier chain calls etc..) [DONE partially]
• add custom modifiers except the defaults found in AS3dMod library
• make easier to apply modifiers to complex meshes/objects (which consist of submeshes) (recursion??)
• port the modifiers that use Perlin Noise (using instead the simpler and faster Simplex Noise routine for JavaScript, noisejs , or simplex-noise.js)
• keep up with JavaScript 3D Engines updates (will try)

###How to debug

1. If the problem is in one 3D engine, while the other engines work correctly for this example/modifier, then the problem is probably with that engine's proxy classes (plugins/3DENGINENAME/Vertex.js, plugins/3DENGINENAME/Mesh.js)
2. If the specific example/modifier does not work in any 3D engine, but other modifiers/examples do work, then the problem is probably with that modifier's code (modifiers/MODIFIERNAME.js)
3. If no example works for any engine, then the problem is probably in the core classes, or some class throws a js error which stops the whole execution

###Changelog

• ver 0.3.1 update buildtools, api-reference, use classy.js for OOP
• ver 0.3 code refactoring, extension framework, various optimizations, tidy up repo, new build scripts, project stopped
• added support for CubicVR.js 3D Engine, minor optimizations for all engines
• added support for Three.js revision (r58)
• added support for Three.js revision (r53)
