I’m attempting to use cdn to import the three library as well as several add ons and N8AO. As stated in the title I’m encountering the listed error:
Uncaught TypeError: Failed to resolve module specifier “three”. Relative references must start with either “/”, “./”, or “../”..
I’m getting the error in Chrome however I have not tried any other browser yet. I’m also using WebStorm as my development environment.
I have node.js version 22.12.0 installed however I am just scripting the entirety of the functionality in the html file rather than creating a separate javascript file for the sake of having everything in one spot.
I presume it’s coming from one of the import statements given here. Also including the rest of the project as it may provide other insights:
