Three.js: Object3d VS Geometry (drawing secenes without Object3d)

[cyth319]

does three.js really need objext3d? when i began to read docu. object3d confused me. ithink its a waste and should not be necessary to draw a scene.

first, there are vertices (Vector3) and then faces(Face3) comes in. Face3 alrady consist normal, color, materialndex but not material. We use Object3d to combine material and material index as far as i understood. So why not face3 consist material itself instead of index? Thus we can draw a scene with a geometry only.

@mrdoob why you closed this?

[mrdoob]

Because this section is for bug reports and feature requests.

Also, unfortunately, we don't have enough resources to respond all the questions that new users may have.

@mrdoob i know that discourse will be a better place for tihs but hack i can not sign up for it. so this is the only place for me to ask this type of quesiton.Maybe i will find a few poele to discuss about the issue. On the other hand you can see it as a feature request.
REquest: remove the object3d

Why not? You should be able to sign in with your github account.

anyway. why you said "keep reading" at first answer? is it sometihng you already thought and realized it is necessary

[mrdoob]

If you experiment a little bit more with the library you'll understand why things are the way they are.

iam usign 3.js only to draw tihngs. i couldn't experiment with material section yet. i know u put alota effort to this project but trying to make a program lighter is always good, i guess

I just tested and it looks like sign up with Google and Facebook were never set up properly on Discourse.
I should probably fix that... 🤔

I'm going to remove the Yahoo sign in link as well well I'm at it - FB, Google, Twitter and Github should be enough options.
