Fly controller

Fly through a cloud of cololoured points. This example demonstrates the fly controller, as well as the GaussianBlob point material, with size_space set to ‘world’.

canvas = WgpuCanvas()
renderer = gfx.renderers.WgpuRenderer(canvas)
scene = gfx.Scene()

# Create a bunch of points
n = 1000
positions = np.random.normal(0, 50, (n, 3)).astype(np.float32)
sizes = np.random.rand(n).astype(np.float32) * 50
colors = np.random.rand(n, 4).astype(np.float32)
geometry = gfx.Geometry(positions=positions, sizes=sizes, colors=colors)

material = gfx.PointsGaussianBlobMaterial(
    color_mode="vertex", size_mode="vertex", size_space="world"
)
points = gfx.Points(geometry, material)
scene.add(points)

camera = gfx.PerspectiveCamera(70)
camera.show_object(scene)
controller = gfx.FlyController(camera, register_events=renderer)
