aframe-fit-texture-component
A fit-texture component for A-Frame VR. The fit-texture component can be used with entities that use the material component with a image or video as texture.
Instead of modifying the texture, this component modifies the entities geometry (width/height) to match the textures dimensions perfectly. Tested in A-Frame 1.0.4.
Usage
Browser Installation
Install and use by directly including the browser files:
<head>
<title>My A-Frame Scene</title>
<script src="https://aframe.io/releases/1.0.4/aframe.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/aframe-lsystem-component/dist/aframe-lsystem-component.min.js"></script>
<!-- or better: download aframe and this component, and server it from your local directory -->
</head>
<body>
<a-scene>
<!--
Before: This entity will have a stretched image,
unless you know and specify width/height manually.
-->
<a-entity material="src: url(randomimage.png)">
<!-- Now: The entity will scale according to the texture. -->
<a-entity material="src: url(randomimage.png)" fit-texture>
<!--using a fixed width works fine too, the height gets set automatically.-->
<a-entity geometry="primitive: plane; width:21" material="src: url(randomimage.png)" fit-texture>
<!--Same as above but with a fixed height:-->
<a-entity geometry="primitive: plane; height:0.123" material="src: url(randomimage.png)" fit-texture>
<!--`a-images` work of course:-->
<a-image src="randomimage.jpg" fit-texture scale="2.0">
<!-- As well as `a-video` -->
<a-video src="somevideofile.mp4" position="0 1.75 -1.999" fit-texture></a-video>
</a-scene>
