I'm trying to create a shader with a texture map on it from scratch. Looking at the other materials (shaders) and their sources, it seems like they all have a "uv" attribute passed to them. I'm having a hard time figuring out where that uv attribute is generated and assigned. Is it set on the geometry, the material, or both?
I'm using default THREE.Geometry objects, like THREE.SphereGeometry. I assumed those would already have attributes set on them, but when I inspect their meshes as scene children I don't see any attribute key/value set on them.
This is an example of the shader generated by a ShaderMaterial or other:
Vertex shader
attribute vec2 uv;
varying vec2 vUv;
void main() {
vUv = uv;
Fragment shader
varying vec2 vUv;
uniform sampler2D map;
void main() {
vec4 texel = texture2D( map, vUv );
However, when I attempt the above, my shader (with RawShaderMaterial) just goes blank and I get a "could not compile."
Is there some magic in THREE that sets up a relationship between shader, object and attributes?
I found a THREE.js generate UV coordinate question, but again, I'm guessing a THREE default object already has UV attributes set correctly?
I specifically want to use a RawShaderMaterial in this case. Can someone point me to the place in the THREE source where UVs are generated for objects / passed to shaders, or tell me how to properly set up UVs to use in the fragment / vertex at runtime?
