Threejs渐变光柱效果

一、实现原理

通过shader，将物体的透明度由下往上，从1到0渐变即可（只需要两圈顶点，底下一圈alpha设为1，上面一圈alpha设为0）

二、实现步骤

1、创建geometry

这个几何体类似于圆柱，只是没有上下两个底面

			/*let bottomPos = [];
			let topPos = [];
			let angleOffset = Math.PI*2/segment;
			for(var i=0;i<segment;i++){
                let x = Math.cos(angleOffset * i)*radius;
                let z = Math.sin(angleOffset * i)*radius;
                bottomPos.push(new Vector3(x,0,z));
                topPos.push(new Vector3(x,height,z));
            }
            bottomPos = bottomPos.concat(topPos);
    
            let face = []
            for(var i=0;i<segment;i++){
                if(i != segment - 1){
                    face.push(new Face3(i+segment+1,i,i+segment));
                    face.push(new Face3(i,i+segment+1,i+1));
                }
                else{
                    face.push(new Face3(segment,i,i+segment));
                    face.push(new Face3(i,segment,0));
                }
            }
    
            let geo = new Geometry();
            geo.vertices = bottomPos;
            geo.faces = face;*/
    //更新为BufferGeometry
    let bottomPos = []
    let topPos = []
    let angleOffset = (Math.PI * 2) / segment
    for (var i = 0; i < segment; i++) {
      let x = Math.cos(angleOffset * i) * radius
      let z = Math.sin(angleOffset * i) * radius
      bottomPos.push(x, 0, z)
      topPos.push(x, height, z)
    }
    bottomPos = bottomPos.concat(topPos)

    let face = []
    for (var i = 0; i < segment; i++) {
      if (i != segment - 1) {
        face.push(i + segment + 1, i, i + segment)
        face.push(i, i + segment + 1, i + 1)
      } else {
        face.push(segment, i, i + segment)
        face.push(i, segment, 0)
      }
    }

    let geo = new BufferGeometry()
    geo.setAttribute('position', new BufferAttribute(new Float32Array(bottomPos), 3))
    geo.setIndex(new BufferAttribute(new Uint16Array(face), 1))
   

2、创建shader材质

            let c = new Color(color);
            let mat = new ShaderMaterial({
                uniforms: {
                    targetColor:{value:new Vector3(c.r,c.g,c.b)},
                    height: { value: height},
                },
                side: DoubleSide,
                transparent:true,
                //depthTest:false,
                depthWrite:false,
                vertexShader: [
                    "varying vec3 modelPos;",
                    "void main() {",
                    "   modelPos = position;",
                    "	gl_Position = projectionMatrix * modelViewMatrix * vec4( position, 1.0 );",
                    "}"
                ].join("\n"),
                fragmentShader: [
                    "uniform vec3 targetColor;",
                    "uniform float height;",
                    "varying vec3 modelPos;",
    
                    "void main() {",
                    "   gl_FragColor = vec4(targetColor.xyz,(1.0 - modelPos.y/height)*(1.0 - modelPos.y/height));",
                    "}"
                ].join("\n")
            });

需要注意的是使用双面渲染、打开透明、关闭深度写入以及alpha的获取（这里使用二次方程，比线性函数过度更自然）

三、完整代码

    		let face = []
    		for (var i = 0; i < segment; i++) {
      			if (i != segment - 1) {
        			face.push(i + segment + 1, i, i + segment)
        			face.push(i, i + segment + 1, i + 1)
