The Key to Successful AI Prompting
To get accurate results, you must explicitly tell the AI which libraries to use (Threebox & Three.js). Without this specific instruction, the AI might default to a standard 2D library that doesn't support complex 3D functionality.
Tip for 'Self-contained' Code
Always ask the AI to generate 'self-contained' code. This ensures all scripts (JS) and styles (CSS) are bundled into one file, making it easy to run immediately without setting up a complex development environment.
Map Navigation Controls
Use the right-click button on your mouse to dynamically rotate the 3D map's perspective, while using the left-click button to pan across the map.
Prompts
Basic Interactive 3D Map Prompt
Target:
MiniMax M2
Create an interactive 3D map visualization using Threebox and Three.js. Use publicly available map layers. Please keep everything self-contained in a single HTML file. Include interactive features like zooming, rotation, and neighborhood focus points.
Step by Step
Building 3D Map Visualizations with MiniMax M2
- Launch the MiniMax M2 AI model (or your preferred AI coding assistant).
- Enter a prompt requesting the creation of a 3D map, specifically instructing it to use the 'Threebox' and 'Three.js' libraries.
- Specify in the prompt that the AI should use 'publicly available map layers' to display geographic data.
- Use a 'self-contained' instruction so the AI generates the code within a single HTML file that includes HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
- Monitor the AI's response; if it stops after the planning phase, type 'Continue' or 'Teruskan' to begin the code generation.
- Copy the generated HTML code and save it as a file with the '.html' extension (e.g., map.html).
- Open the file in a web browser to view your interactive map.
- Test the interactive features: left-click to pan, right-click to rotate in 3D, and use the scroll wheel to zoom.
- Use any UI toggles provided by the AI (such as 'Time of Day') to switch visual modes (e.g., Dark Mode).
