The TetrahedronGeometry in Canvas Studio offers an ideal entry point into polyhedral modeling. It’s a compact, efficient shape perfect for modern design aesthetics, stylized assets, or educational uses where clarity and simplicity are key.
In Canvas Studio, the Tetrahedron (or TetrahedronGeometry) is a minimalist 3D shape made up of four triangular faces, forming a pyramid-like structure. It’s the simplest of all polyhedra and is commonly used in low-poly modeling, abstract design, and stylized environments. With basic controls for size and detail level, the tetrahedron is ideal for clean, efficient geometry with bold, geometric aesthetics.
position – sets the location of the tetrahedron in 3D space using X, Y, and Z coordinates; determines its placement within the scene.
rotation – rotates the object on its X, Y, and Z axes; useful for aligning the geometry or animating it.
scale – adjusts the size of the tetrahedron along each axis individually; enables proportion changes or uniform resizing.
castShadow – allows the tetrahedron to cast shadows onto other objects; essential for realistic lighting effects.
receiveShadow – enables the geometry to receive shadows from other scene elements; improves visual integration with the environment.
visible – toggles the object’s visibility; used for animation control or hiding inactive elements.
wireframe – when enabled, shows only the edges of the mesh instead of solid faces; helpful for debugging or achieving a stylized look.
opacity – controls the object’s transparency; 1 is fully solid, while lower values allow varying levels of see-through effect.
radius – sets the size of the tetrahedron from its center to each vertex; determines its overall scale.
detail – increases subdivision for smoother versions of the shape; 0 gives the standard flat-faceted form.
