Visual Threejs WebGLrenderer

Hello,

 

I am trying to create an custom visual using Threejs. When I create a renderer " const renderer = new THREE.WebGLRenderer" nothing happens : no error. My script works just fine in a HTML page. Did someone already try to use Threejs for a visual ?

I face the same problem. THREE.WebGLRenderer doesn't work

It works in Codepen and elsewhere

 

 

Hi, 

 

I tried with an older version of ThreeJs and it works.

Hi @ADAV 

To build a customer visual by Three.js, you may need to download Node.JS, Power BI Visual Studio, Power BI Customer Tools(pbiviz) and so on. Please check whether you have configured them correctly.

You may refer to blogs and videos as below.
