Question

I am starting with THREE.js, and I am trying to draw a rectangle with a texture on it, lit by a single source of light. I think this is as simple as it gets (HTML omitted fo

Andrea solution is absolutely right, I will just write another implementation based on the same idea. If you took a look at the THREE.ImageUtils.loadTexture() source you will find it uses the javascript Image object. The $(window).load event is fired after all Images are loaded ! so at that event we can render our scene with the textures already loaded...

• CoffeeScript

  $(document).ready ->
  
      material = new THREE.MeshLambertMaterial(map: THREE.ImageUtils.loadTexture("crate.gif"))
  
      sphere   = new THREE.Mesh(new THREE.SphereGeometry(radius, segments, rings), material)
  
      $(window).load ->
          renderer.render scene, camera
  

• JavaScript

  $(document).ready(function() {
  
      material = new THREE.MeshLambertMaterial({ map: THREE.ImageUtils.loadTexture("crate.gif") });
  
      sphere = new THREE.Mesh(new THREE.SphereGeometry(radius, segments, rings), material);
  
      $(window).load(function() {
          renderer.render(scene, camera);
      });
  });
  

Thanks...
