globejs() zoom issue

[poroale]

When I try to run the demo runApp(system.file("examples/globe", package="threejs")) or any other globejs() visualization it works fine unless I try to zoom it. Zooming in or out makes the visualization totally black. What could the issue be?

Running the other non-globe related visualizations work fine.

I have the same problem.

Same for me on both Windows (R 3.4.2, x86_64-w64-mingw32/x64 (64-bit), Windows >= 8 x64 (build 9200)) and Linux (R 3.4.2, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (64-bit), Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS).

Any ideas on a fix?

Sorry for the latency...investigating this now. I can reproduce it in at least chrome and Firefox...

The issue is this change in threejs that I didn't realize: https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js/pull/10375/files, working on a fix.

there is a partial fix up on GitHub now, but it's not 100% yet. Help appreciated...

I have this error still as of today with 3.1. However installing 3.2 seems to fix the zooming issue as you said

library(devtools)
install_github("bwlewis/rthreejs")

Hiya! Commit 7828942 in this pull request should fix the perspective skewing on resize. 👍
