Three.js 动画

快速入门

import * as THREE from "three";

// Simple procedural animation
const clock = new THREE.Clock();

function animate() {
  const delta = clock.getDelta();
  const elapsed = clock.getElapsedTime();

  mesh.rotation.y += delta;
  mesh.position.y = Math.sin(elapsed) * 0.5;

  requestAnimationFrame(animate);
  renderer.render(scene, camera);
}
animate();

动画系统概览

Three.js 动画系统包含三个主要组件：

1. AnimationClip - 关键帧数据容器
2. AnimationMixer - 在根对象上播放动画
3. AnimationAction - 控制片段的播放

AnimationClip

存储关键帧动画数据。

// Create animation clip
const times = [0, 1, 2]; // Keyframe times (seconds)
const values = [0, 1, 0]; // Values at each keyframe

const track = new THREE.NumberKeyframeTrack(
  ".position[y]", // Property path
  times,
  values,
);

const clip = new THREE.AnimationClip("bounce", 2, [track]);

KeyframeTrack 类型

// Number track (single value)
new THREE.NumberKeyframeTrack(".opacity", times, [1, 0]);
new THREE.NumberKeyframeTrack(".material.opacity", times, [1, 0]);

// Vector track (position, scale)
new THREE.VectorKeyframeTrack(".position", times, [
  0,
  0,
  0, // t=0
  1,
  2,
  0, // t=1
  0,
  0,
  0, // t=2
]);

// Quaternion track (rotation)
const q1 = new THREE.Quaternion().setFromEuler(new THREE.Euler(0, 0, 0));
const q2 = new THREE.Quaternion().setFromEuler(new THREE.Euler(0, Math.PI, 0));
new THREE.QuaternionKeyframeTrack(
  ".quaternion",
  [0, 1],
  [q1.x, q1.y, q1.z, q1.w, q2.x, q2.y, q2.z, q2.w],
);

// Color track
new THREE.ColorKeyframeTrack(".material.color", times, [
  1,
  0,
  0, // red
  0,
  1,
  0, // green
  0,
  0,
  1, // blue
]);

// Boolean track
new THREE.BooleanKeyframeTrack(".visible", [0, 0.5, 1], [true, false, true]);

// String track (for morph targets)
new THREE.StringKeyframeTrack(
  ".morphTargetInfluences[smile]",
  [0, 1],
  ["0", "1"],
);

插值模式

const track = new THREE.VectorKeyframeTrack(".position", times, values);

// Interpolation
track.setInterpolation(THREE.InterpolateLinear); // Default
track.setInterpolation(THREE.InterpolateSmooth); // Cubic spline
track.setInterpolation(THREE.InterpolateDiscrete); // Step function

AnimationMixer

在对象及其后代对象上播放动画。

const mixer = new THREE.AnimationMixer(model);

// Create action from clip
const action = mixer.clipAction(clip);
action.play();

// Update in animation loop
function animate() {
  const delta = clock.getDelta();
  mixer.update(delta); // Required!

  requestAnimationFrame(animate);
  renderer.render(scene, camera);
}

混合器事件

mixer.addEventListener("finished", (e) => {
  console.log("Animation finished:", e.action.getClip().name);
});

mixer.addEventListener("loop", (e) => {
  console.log("Animation looped:", e.action.getClip().name);
});

AnimationAction

控制动画片段的播放。

const action = mixer.clipAction(clip);

// Playback control
action.play();
action.stop();
action.reset();
action.halt(fadeOutDuration);

// Playback state
action.isRunning();
action.isScheduled();

// Time control
action.time = 0.5; // Current time
action.timeScale = 1; // Playback speed (negative = reverse)
action.paused = false;

// Weight (for blending)
action.weight = 1; // 0-1, contribution to final pose
action.setEffectiveWeight(1);

// Loop modes
action.loop = THREE.LoopRepeat; // Default: loop forever
action.loop = THREE.LoopOnce; // Play once and stop
action.loop = THREE.LoopPingPong; // Alternate forward/backward
action.repetitions = 3; // Number of loops (Infinity default)

// Clamping
action.clampWhenFinished = true; // Hold last frame when done

// Blending
action.blendMode = THREE.NormalAnimationBlendMode;
action.blendMode = THREE.AdditiveAnimationBlendMode;

淡入/淡出

// Fade in
action.reset().fadeIn(0.5).play();

// Fade out
action.fadeOut(0.5);

// Crossfade between animations
const action1 = mixer.clipAction(clip1);
const action2 = mixer.clipAction(clip2);

action1.play();

// Later, crossfade to action2
action1.crossFadeTo(action2, 0.5, true);
action2.play();

加载 GLTF 动画

骨骼动画最常见的来源。

import { GLTFLoader } from "three/examples/jsm/loaders/GLTFLoader.js";

const loader = new GLTFLoader();
loader.load("model.glb", (gltf) => {
  const model = gltf.scene;
  scene.add(model);

  // Create mixer
  const mixer = new THREE.AnimationMixer(model);

  // Get all clips
  const clips = gltf.animations;
  console.log(
    "Available animations:",
    clips.map((c) => c.name),
  );

  // Play first animation
  if (clips.length > 0) {
    const action = mixer.clipAction(clips[0]);
    action.play();
  }

  // Play specific animation by name
  const walkClip = THREE.AnimationClip.findByName(clips, "Walk");
  if (walkClip) {
    mixer.clipAction(walkClip).play();
  }

  // Store mixer for update loop
  window.mixer = mixer;
});

// Animation loop
function animate() {
  const delta = clock.getDelta();
  if (window.mixer) window.mixer.update(delta);

  requestAnimationFrame(animate);
  renderer.render(scene, camera);
}

骨骼动画

骨架和骨骼

// Access skeleton from skinned mesh
const skinnedMesh = model.getObjectByProperty("type", "SkinnedMesh");
const skeleton = skinnedMesh.skeleton;

// Access bones
skeleton.bones.forEach((bone) => {
  console.log(bone.name, bone.position, bone.rotation);
});

// Find specific bone by name
const headBone = skeleton.bones.find((b) => b.name === "Head");
if (headBone) headBone.rotation.y = Math.PI / 4; // Turn head

// Skeleton helper
const helper = new THREE.SkeletonHelper(model);
scene.add(helper);

以编程方式制作骨骼动画

function animate() {
  const time = clock.getElapsedTime();

  // Animate bone
  const headBone = skeleton.bones.find((b) => b.name === "Head");
  if (headBone) {
    headBone.rotation.y = Math.sin(time) * 0.3;
  }

  // Update mixer if also playing clips
  mixer.update(clock.getDelta());
}

骨骼附件

// Attach object to bone
const weapon = new THREE.Mesh(weaponGeometry, weaponMaterial);
const handBone = skeleton.bones.find((b) => b.name === "RightHand");
if (handBone) handBone.add(weapon);

// Offset attachment
weapon.position.set(0, 0, 0.5);
weapon.rotation.set(0, Math.PI / 2, 0);

变形目标

在不同网格形状之间进行混合。

// Morph targets are stored in geometry
const geometry = mesh.geometry;
console.log("Morph attributes:", Object.keys(geometry.morphAttributes));

// Access morph target influences
mesh.morphTargetInfluences; // Array of weights
mesh.morphTargetDictionary; // Name -> index mapping

// Set morph target by index
mesh.morphTargetInfluences[0] = 0.5;

// Set by name
const smileIndex = mesh.morphTargetDictionary["smile"];
mesh.morphTargetInfluences[smileIndex] = 1;

为变形目标制作动画

// Procedural
function animate() {
  const t = clock.getElapsedTime();
  mesh.morphTargetInfluences[0] = (Math.sin(t) + 1) / 2;
}

// With keyframe animation
const track = new THREE.NumberKeyframeTrack(
  ".morphTargetInfluences[smile]",
  [0, 0.5, 1],
  [0, 1, 0],
);
const clip = new THREE.AnimationClip("smile", 1, [track]);
mixer.clipAction(clip).play();

动画混合

将多个动画混合在一起。

// Setup actions
const idleAction = mixer.clipAction(idleClip);
const walkAction = mixer.clipAction(walkClip);
const runAction = mixer.clipAction(runClip);

// Play all with different weights
idleAction.play();
walkAction.play();
runAction.play();

// Set initial weights
idleAction.setEffectiveWeight(1);
walkAction.setEffectiveWeight(0);
runAction.setEffectiveWeight(0);

// Blend based on speed
function updateAnimations(speed) {
  if (speed < 0.1) {
    idleAction.setEffectiveWeight(1);
    walkAction.setEffectiveWeight(0);
    runAction.setEffectiveWeight(0);
  } else if (speed < 5) {
    const t = speed / 5;
    idleAction.setEffectiveWeight(1 - t);
    walkAction.setEffectiveWeight(t);
    runAction.setEffectiveWeight(0);
  } else {
    const t = Math.min((speed - 5) / 5, 1);
    idleAction.setEffectiveWeight(0);
    walkAction.setEffectiveWeight(1 - t);
    runAction.setEffectiveWeight(t);
  }
}

加法混合

// Base pose
const baseAction = mixer.clipAction(baseClip);
baseAction.play();

// Additive layer (e.g., breathing)
const additiveAction = mixer.clipAction(additiveClip);
additiveAction.blendMode = THREE.AdditiveAnimationBlendMode;
additiveAction.play();

// Convert clip to additive
THREE.AnimationUtils.makeClipAdditive(additiveClip);

动画实用工具

import * as THREE from "three";

// Find clip by name
const clip = THREE.AnimationClip.findByName(clips, "Walk");

// Create subclip
const subclip = THREE.AnimationUtils.subclip(clip, "subclip", 0, 30, 30);

// Convert to additive
THREE.AnimationUtils.makeClipAdditive(clip);
THREE.AnimationUtils.makeClipAdditive(clip, 0, referenceClip);

// Clone clip
const clone = clip.clone();

// Get clip duration
clip.duration;

// Optimize clip (remove redundant keyframes)
clip.optimize();

// Reset clip to first frame
clip.resetDuration();

程序化动画模式

平滑阻尼

// Smooth follow/lerp
const target = new THREE.Vector3();
const current = new THREE.Vector3();
const velocity = new THREE.Vector3();

function smoothDamp(current, target, velocity, smoothTime, deltaTime) {
  const omega = 2 / smoothTime;
  const x = omega * deltaTime;
  const exp = 1 / (1 + x + 0.48 * x * x + 0.235 * x * x * x);
  const change = current.clone().sub(target);
  const temp = velocity
    .clone()
    .add(change.clone().multiplyScalar(omega))
    .multiplyScalar(deltaTime);
  velocity.sub(temp.clone().multiplyScalar(omega)).multiplyScalar(exp);
  return target.clone().add(change.add(temp).multiplyScalar(exp));
}

function animate() {
  current.copy(smoothDamp(current, target, velocity, 0.3, delta));
  mesh.position.copy(current);
}

弹簧物理

class Spring {
  constructor(stiffness = 100, damping = 10) {
    this.stiffness = stiffness;
    this.damping = damping;
    this.position = 0;
    this.velocity = 0;
    this.target = 0;
  }

  update(dt) {
    const force = -this.stiffness * (this.position - this.target);
    const dampingForce = -this.damping * this.velocity;
    this.velocity += (force + dampingForce) * dt;
    this.position += this.velocity * dt;
    return this.position;
  }
}

const spring = new Spring(100, 10);
spring.target = 1;

function animate() {
  mesh.position.y = spring.update(delta);
}

振荡

function animate() {
  const t = clock.getElapsedTime();

  // Sine wave
  mesh.position.y = Math.sin(t * 2) * 0.5;

  // Bouncing
  mesh.position.y = Math.abs(Math.sin(t * 3)) * 2;

  // Circular motion
  mesh.position.x = Math.cos(t) * 2;
  mesh.position.z = Math.sin(t) * 2;

  // Figure 8
  mesh.position.x = Math.sin(t) * 2;
  mesh.position.z = Math.sin(t * 2) * 1;
}

性能提示

1. 共享片段：同一个 AnimationClip 可用于多个混合器
2. 优化片段：调用 clip.optimize() 移除冗余关键帧
3. 移出屏幕时禁用：停止更新不可见对象的混合器
4. 为动画使用 LOD：为远处的角色使用更简单的绑定
5. 限制活动混合器数量：每次 mixer.update() 都会产生开销

// Pause animation when not visible
mesh.onBeforeRender = () => {
  action.paused = false;
};

mesh.onAfterRender = () => {
  // Check if will be visible next frame
  if (!isInFrustum(mesh)) {
    action.paused = true;
  }
};

// Cache clips
const clipCache = new Map();
function getClip(name) {
  if (!clipCache.has(name)) {
    clipCache.set(name, loadClip(name));
  }
  return clipCache.get(name);
}
