Effects

Programmatic API to retrieve, configure, and animate dynamic visual and interactive effects on 3D objects using type-safe facades.
Published: 7/10/2026

In the Aircada SDK, visual modifications and interactive behaviors are modeled as Effects attached to 3D scene objects.

Instead of writing low-level Three.js render loops or shader configurations, developers retrieve strongly-typed effect facades from scene objects using registry IDs, adjusting properties dynamically with full autocomplete and type safety.

Brush Effects
→
A suite of built-in brush effects used to customize and animate the materials, strokes, and rendering behavior of interactive 3D paint brushes.
Camera Control Effects
→
A suite of built-in camera control effects that manage collision detection, view clamping, automated framing, and player height adjustments.
Environment Effects
→
A suite of built-in environmental effects that customize skyboxes, global illumination, atmospheric fog, and ambient backgrounds.
The Effects Facade API
→
Detailed overview of the .effects collection object (EffectsCollectionFacade) and the underlying EffectFacade class that powers dynamic property reading and writing through JavaScript Proxies.
Geometry Effects
→
A suite of built-in geometry effects that manipulate, deform, align, and constrain the physical vertices of 3D meshes and models in real-time.
Material Effects
→
A suite of built-in material effects used to apply texture coordinates, engravings, reflections, and advanced shaders to 3D models and shapes in Aircada.
Particle Effects
→
A suite of built-in particle effects used to dynamically filter, mask, color, and distort particle emissions in Aircada.
Post-Processing Effects
→
A suite of built-in post-processing effects applied to the entire scene camera view for cinema-style rendering, color adjustments, and screen-space overlays.
SDK Integration & Usage Pattern
