Linocut

The Linocut effect is a custom shader effect inspired by traditional linocut and woodcut printmaking. It transforms the scene into a high-contrast black-and-white composition, featuring bold lines and intricate patterns that replicate the handcrafted aesthetic of relief printing techniques.

Usage

The <LinocutPmndrs> component is straightforward to use and provides customizable options to fine-tune the linocut effect.

<script setup lang="ts">
import { TresCanvas } from '@tresjs/core'
import { Environment, OrbitControls } from '@tresjs/cientos'
import { EffectComposerPmndrs, LinocutPmndrs } from '@tresjs/post-processing'

const gl = {
  clearColor: '#4f4f4f',
  toneMapping: NoToneMapping,
  multisampling: 8,
}

const effectProps = reactive({
  scale: 0.85,
  noiseScale: 0.0,
  center: [0.5, 0.5],
  rotation: 0.0,
  blendFunction: BlendFunction.NORMAL,
})
</script>

<template>
  <TresCanvas v-bind="gl">
    <TresPerspectiveCamera
      :position="[0, 6.5, 6.5]"
      :look-at="[0, 0, 0]"
    />
    <OrbitControls auto-rotate />

    <Suspense>
      <Environment preset="shangai" />
    </Suspense>

    <TresMesh>
      <TresBoxGeometry :args="[2, 2, 2]" />
      <TresMeshStandardMaterial color="yellow" />
    </TresMesh>

    <Suspense>
      <EffectComposerPmndrs>
        <LinocutPmndrs v-bind="effectProps" />
      </EffectComposerPmndrs>
    </Suspense>
  </TresCanvas>
</template>
