primitive-ellipsoid

An ellipsoid geometry for 3D rendering, including normals, UVs and cell indices (faces).

Installation

npm install primitive-ellipsoid

Usage

import createEllipsoid from "primitive-ellipsoid";

const radius = 1;
const geometry = createEllipsoid(radius, {
  latSegments: 64,
  lngSegments: 64,
  rx: 2,
  ry: 1,
  rz: 1,
});

console.log(geometry);
// {
//   positions: [ [x, y, z], [x, y, z], ... ],
//   cells: [ [a, b, c], [a, b, c], ... ],
//   uvs: [ [u, v], [u, v], ... ],
//   normals: [ [x, y, z], [x, y, z], ... ]
// }
