threejs之利用requestAnimationFrame降低动画频率

Here is the polished English translation of the article: --- **How to Adjust Animation Frequency in Three.js**

How to Adjust Animation Frequency in Three.js

Method 1:

Modify the x, y, z values of the object in the render function. Larger values result in faster movement, while smaller values result in slower movement.

Method 2: This method is only applicable for reducing animation frequency.

Use the time difference approach through a helper function to limit animation frequency. This article focuses on this method.

Animation example:

The animation is too fast. Here's the code to reduce the frequency:

Rendering code:

Effect after implementation:

To further reduce the animation frequency, simply set diffTime to a larger value.

Notes: By default, requestAnimationFrame executes at a frequency of 1000/60 ≈ 16ms per frame, which is related to the browser's screen refresh rate. Therefore, setting diffTime to 0 or 10 has the same effect.

So, how do I speed up the animation?
Just increase the x and y values of the motion, and disable the limitRateFn function.
