A growing collection of useful helpers and fully functional, ready-made abstractions for @react-three/fiber. If you make a component that is generic enough to be useful to others, think about CONTRIBUTING!

}A responsive THREE.PerspectiveCamera that can set itself as the default.
<PerspectiveCamera makeDefault {...props} />
<mesh />You can also give it children, which will now occupy the same position as the camera and follow along as it moves.
<PerspectiveCamera makeDefault {...props}>
<mesh />
</PerspectiveCamera>You can also drive it manually, it won't be responsive and you have to calculate aspect ratio yourself.
<PerspectiveCamera manual aspect={...} onUpdate={(c) => c.updateProjectionMatrix()}>You can use the PerspectiveCamera to film contents into a RenderTarget, similar to CubeCamera. As a child you must provide a render-function which receives the texture as its first argument. The result of that function will not follow the camera, instead it will be set invisible while the the FBO renders so as to avoid issues where the meshes that receive the texture are interrering.
<PerspectiveCamera position={[0, 0, 10]}>
{(texture) => (
<mesh geometry={plane}>

)}
</PerspectiveCamera>A responsive THREE.OrthographicCamera that can set itself as the default.
<OrthographicCamera makeDefault {...props}>
<mesh />
</OrthographicCamera>You can use the OrthographicCamera to film contents into a RenderTarget, it has the same API as PerspectiveCamera.
<OrthographicCamera position={[0, 0, 10]}>
{(texture) => (
<mesh geometry={plane}>
<meshBasicMaterial map={texture} />
</mesh>
)}
</OrthographicCamera>A THREE.CubeCamera that returns its texture as a render-prop. It makes children invisible while rendering to the internal buffer so that they are not included in the reflection.

}Using the frames prop you can control if this camera renders indefinitely or statically (a given number of times).
If you have two static objects in the scene, make it frames={2} for instance, so that both objects get to "see" one another in the reflections, which takes multiple renders.
If you have moving objects, unset the prop and use a smaller resolution instead.
<CubeCamera>
{(texture) => (
<mesh>
<sphereGeometry />
<meshStandardMaterial envMap={texture} />
</mesh>
)}
</CubeCamera>If available controls have damping enabled by default, they manage their own updates, remove themselves on unmount, are compatible with the frameloop="demand" canvas-flag. They inherit all props from their underlying THREE controls. They are the first effects to run before all other useFrames, to ensure that other components may mutate the camera on top of them.
Some controls allow you to set makeDefault, similar to, for instance, PerspectiveCamera. This will set @react-three/fiber's controls field in the root store. This can make it easier in situations where you want controls to be known and other parts of the app could respond to it. Some drei controls already take it into account, like CameraShake, Gizmo and TransformControls.
<CameraControls makeDefault />const controls = useThree((state) => state.controls)Drei currently exports OrbitControls 
All controls react to the default camera. If you have a <PerspectiveCamera makeDefault /> in your scene, they will control it. If you need to inject an imperative camera or one that isn't the default, use the camera prop: <OrbitControls camera={MyCamera} />.
PointerLockControls additionally supports a selector prop, which enables the binding of click event handlers for control activation to other elements than document (e.g. a 'Click here to play' button). All elements matching the selector prop will activate the controls. It will also center raycast events by default, so regular onPointerOver/etc events on meshes will continue to work.
This is an implementation of the camera-controls library.

}Scroll controls create a HTML scroll container in front of the canvas. Everything you drop into the <Scroll> component will be affected.
You can listen and react to scroll with the useScroll hook which gives you useful data like the current scroll offset, delta and functions for range finding: range, curve and visible. The latter functions are especially useful if you want to react to the scroll offset, for instance if you wanted to fade things in and out if they are in or out of view.

Semi-OrbitControls with spring-physics, polar zoom and snap-back, for presentational purposes. These controls do not turn the camera but will spin their contents. They will not suddenly come to rest when they reach limits like OrbitControls do, but rather smoothly anticipate stopping position.
<PresentationControls
enabled={true} // the controls can be disabled by setting this to false

A rudimentary keyboard controller which distributes your defined data-model to the useKeyboard hook. It's a rather simple way to get started with keyboard input.
type KeyboardControlsState<T extends string = string> = { [K in T]: boolean }
type KeyboardControlsEntry<T extends string = string> = {
/** Name of the action */
name: T
/** The keys that define it, you can use either event.key, or event.code */
keys: string[]
/** If the event receives the keyup event, true by default */
up?: boolean
}

/** A map of named keys */
map: KeyboardControlsEntry[]
/** All children will be able to useKeyboardControls */
children: React.ReactNode
/** Optional onchange event */
onChange: (name: string, pressed: boolean, state: KeyboardControlsState) => void
/** Optional event source */
domElement?: HTMLElement
}You start by wrapping your app, or scene, into <KeyboardControls>.
enum Controls {
forward = 'forward',
back = 'back',
left = 'left',
right = 'right',
jump = 'jump',
}
function App() {
const map = useMemo<KeyboardControlsEntry<Controls>[]>(()=>[
{ name: Controls.forward, keys: ['ArrowUp', 'KeyW'] },
{ name: Controls.back, keys: ['ArrowDown', 'KeyS'] },
{ name: Controls.left, keys: ['ArrowLeft', 'KeyA'] },
{ name: Controls.right, keys: ['ArrowRight', 'KeyD'] },
{ name: Controls.jump, keys: ['Space'] },
], [])
return (
<KeyboardControls map={map}>
<App />
</KeyboardControls>You can either respond to input reactively, it uses zustand (with the subscribeWithSelector middleware) so all the rules apply:
function Foo() {
const forwardPressed = useKeyboardControls<Controls>(state => state.forward)Or transiently, either by subscribe, which is a function which returns a function to unsubscribe, so you can pair it with useEffect for cleanup, or get, which fetches fresh state non-reactively.
function Foo() {
const [sub, get] = useKeyboardControls<Controls>()
useEffect(() => {
return sub(
(state) => state.forward,
(pressed) => {
console.log('forward', pressed)
}
)
}, [])
useFrame(() => {
// Fetch fresh data from store
const pressed = get().back
})
}The camera follows your face.

Note
rVFCInternally,
FaceControlsusesrequestVideoFrameCallback, you may need a polyfill (for Firefox).
By default, detect is called on each "videoFrame". You can disable this by manualDetect and call detect yourself.
For example:
const controls = useThree((state) => state.controls)
const onVideoFrame = useCallback((event) => {
controls.detect(event.texture.source.data, event.time)
}, [controls])
<FaceControls makeDefault
manualDetect
onVideoFrame={onVideoFrame}
/>By default, update method is called each rAF useFrame. You can disable this by manualUpdate and call it yourself:
const controls = useThree((state) => state.controls)
useFrame((_, delta) => {
controls.update(delta) // 60 or 120 FPS with default damping
})
<FaceControls makeDefault manualUpdate />Or, if you want your own custom damping, use computeTarget method and update the camera pos/rot yourself with:
const [current] = useState(() => new THREE.Object3D())
useFrame((_, delta) => {
const target = controls?.computeTarget()
if (target) {
//
// A. Define your own damping
//
const eps = 1e-9
easing.damp3(current.position, target.position, 0.25, delta, undefined, undefined, eps)
easing.dampE(current.rotation, target.rotation, 0.25, delta, undefined, undefined, eps)
camera.position.copy(current.position)
camera.rotation.copy(current.rotation)
//
// B. Or maybe with no damping at all?
//
// camera.position.copy(target.position)
// camera.rotation.copy(target.rotation)
}

/>You can exert full control with the useMotion hook, it allows you to define the current position along the path for instance, or define your own lookAt. Keep in mind that MotionPathControls will still these values unless you set damping and focusDamping to 0. Then you can also employ your own easing.

</PivotControls>You can use Pivot as a controlled component, switch autoTransform off in that case and now you are responsible for applying the matrix transform yourself. You can also leave autoTransform on and apply the matrix to foreign objects, in that case Pivot will be able to control objects that are not parented within.
const matrix = new THREE.Matrix4()
return (

You can use DragControls to make objects draggable in your scene. It supports locking the drag to specific axes, setting drag limits, and custom drag start, drag, and drag end events.

/** Drag start event */
onDragStart?: (origin: THREE.Vector3) => void
/** Drag event */
onDrag?: (
localMatrix: THREE.Matrix4,

worldMatrix: THREE.Matrix4,
deltaWorldMatrix: THREE.Matrix4
) => void
/** Drag end event */
onDragEnd?: () => void
children: React.ReactNode
}<DragControls>
<mesh />
</DragControls>You can utilize DragControls as a controlled component by toggling autoTransform off, which then requires you to manage the matrix transformation manually. Alternatively, keeping autoTransform enabled allows you to apply the matrix to external objects, enabling DragControls to manage objects that are not directly parented within it.
const matrix = new THREE.Matrix4()
return (
<DragControls

onDrag={(localMatrix) => matrix.copy(localMatrix)}
An abstraction around THREE.TransformControls.
You can wrap objects which then receive a transform gizmo.
<TransformControls mode="translate">
<mesh />
</TransformControls>You could also reference the object which might make it easier to exchange the target. Now the object does not have to be part of the same sub-graph. References can be plain objects or React.MutableRefObjects.
<TransformControls object={mesh} mode="translate" />
<mesh ref={mesh} />If you are using other controls (Orbit, Trackball, etc), you will notice how they interfere, dragging one will affect the other. Default-controls will temporarily be disabled automatically when the user is pulling on the transform gizmo.

Hi-quality text rendering w/ signed distance fields (SDF) and antialiasing, using troika-3d-text. All of troikas props are valid! Text is suspense-based!
<Text color="black" anchorX="center" anchorY="middle">
hello world!
</Text>Text will suspend while loading the font data, but in order to completely avoid FOUC you can pass the characters it needs to render.
<Text font={fontUrl} characters="abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789!">
hello world!
</Text>
Render 3D text using ThreeJS's TextGeometry.
Text3D will suspend while loading the font data. Text3D requires fonts in JSON format generated through typeface.json, either as a path to a JSON file or a JSON object. If you face display issues try checking "Reverse font direction" in the typeface tool.
<Text3D font={fontUrl} {...textOptions}>
Hello world!
<meshNormalMaterial />
</Text3D>You can use any material. textOptions are options you'd pass to the TextGeometry constructor. Find more information about available options here.
You can align the text using the <Center> component.
<Center top left>
<Text3D>hello</Text3D>
</Center>It adds three properties that do not exist in the original TextGeometry, lineHeight, letterSpacing and smooth. LetterSpacing is a factor that is 1 by default. LineHeight is in threejs units and 0 by default. Smooth merges vertices with a tolerance and calls computeVertexNormals.
<Text3D smooth={1} lineHeight={0.5} letterSpacing={-0.025}>{`hello\nworld`}</Text3D>Abstraction around threes own EffectComposer. By default it will prepend a render-pass and a gammacorrection-pass. Children are cloned, attach is given to them automatically. You can only use passes or effects in there.

Declarative abstraction around MeshSurfaceSampler & InstancedMesh. It samples points from the passed mesh and transforms an InstancedMesh's matrix to distribute instances on the points.
Check the demos & code for more.
You can either pass a Mesh and InstancedMesh as children:
// This simple example scatters 1000 spheres on the surface of the sphere mesh.
<Sampler
weight={'normal'} // the name of the attribute to be used as sampling weight
transform={transformPoint} // a function that transforms each instance given a sample. See the examples for more.
count={16} // Number of samples
>
<mesh>
<sphereGeometry args={[2]} />
</mesh>
<instancedMesh args={[null, null, 1_000]}>
<sphereGeometry args={[0.1]} />
</instancedMesh>
</Sampler>or use refs when you can't compose declaratively:
const { nodes } = useGLTF('my/mesh/url')
const mesh = useRef(nodes)
const instances = useRef()
return <>
<instancedMesh args={[null, null, 1_000]}>
<sphereGeometry args={[0.1]}>
</instancedMesh>
<Sampler mesh={mesh} instances={instances}>
</>Create and attach an attribute declaratively.
<sphereGeometry>
<ComputedAttribute
// attribute will be added to the geometry with this name
name="my-attribute-name"
compute={(geometry) => {
// ...someLogic;
return new THREE.BufferAttribute([1, 2, 3], 1)
}}
// you can pass any BufferAttribute prop to this component, eg.
usage={THREE.StaticReadUsage}

</sphereGeometry>
Declarative abstraction around THREE.Object3D.clone. This is useful when you want to create a shallow copy of an existing fragment (and Object3D, Groups, etc) into your scene, for instance a group from a loaded GLTF. This clone is now re-usable, but it will still refer to the original geometries and materials.
<Clone
/** Any pre-existing THREE.Object3D (groups, meshes, ...), or an array of objects */
object: THREE.Object3D | THREE.Object3D[]
/** Children will be placed within the object, or within the group that holds arrayed objects */
children?: React.ReactNode
/** Can clone materials and/or geometries deeply (default: false) */
deep?: boolean | 'materialsOnly' | 'geometriesOnly'
/** The property keys it will shallow-clone (material, geometry, visible, ...) */
keys?: string[]
/** Can either spread over props or fill in JSX children, applies to every mesh within */
inject?: MeshProps | React.ReactNode | ((object: THREE.Object3D) => React.ReactNode)
/** Short access castShadow, applied to every mesh within */
castShadow?: boolean
/** Short access receiveShadow, applied to every mesh within */
receiveShadow?: boolean
/>You create a shallow clone by passing a pre-existing object to the object prop.
const { nodes } = useGLTF(url)
return (
<Clone object={nodes.table} />Or, multiple objects:
<Clone object={[nodes.foo, nodes.bar]} />You can dynamically insert objects, these will apply to anything that isn't a group or a plain object3d (meshes, lines, etc):
<Clone object={nodes.table} inject={<meshStandardMaterial color="green" />} />Or make inserts conditional:
<Clone object={nodes.table} inject={
{(object) => (object.name === 'table' ? <meshStandardMaterial color="green" /> : null)}
} />
A hook that abstracts AnimationMixer.
const { nodes, materials, animations } = useGLTF(url)
const { ref, mixer, names, actions, clips } = useAnimations(animations)
useEffect(() => {
actions?.jump.play()
})
return (
<mesh ref={ref} />The hook can also take a pre-existing root (which can be a plain object3d or a reference to one):
const { scene, animations } = useGLTF(url)
const { actions } = useAnimations(animations, scene)
return <primitive object={scene} />An abstraction for threes MarchingCubes
<MarchingCubes resolution={50} maxPolyCount={20000} enableUvs={false} enableColors={true}>
<MarchingCube strength={0.5} subtract={12} color={new Color('#f0f')} position={[0.5, 0.5, 0.5]} />
<MarchingPlane planeType="y" strength={0.5} subtract={12} />
</MarchingCubes>
Abstraction around Three's DecalGeometry. It will use the its parent mesh as the decal surface by default.
The decal box has to intersect the surface, otherwise it will not be visible. if you do not specifiy a rotation it will look at the parents center point. You can also pass a single number as the rotation which allows you to spin it.
<mesh>
<sphereGeometry />
<meshBasicMaterial />
<Decal
debug // Makes "bounding box" of the decal visible
position={[0, 0, 0]} // Position of the decal
rotation={[0, 0, 0]} // Rotation of the decal (can be a vector or a degree in radians)
scale={1} // Scale of the decal
>
<meshBasicMaterial
map={texture}
polygonOffset
polygonOffsetFactor={-1} // The material should take precedence over the original
/>
</Decal>
</mesh>If you do not specify a material it will create a transparent meshBasicMaterial with a polygonOffsetFactor of -10.
<mesh>
<sphereGeometry />
<meshBasicMaterial />
<Decal map={texture} />
</mesh>If declarative composition is not possible, use the mesh prop to define the surface the decal must attach to.
<Decal mesh={ref}>
<meshBasicMaterial map={texture} polygonOffset polygonOffsetFactor={-1} />
</Decal>Wrapper around the three svg loader demo.
Accepts an SVG url or svg raw data.
<Svg src={urlOrRawSvgString} />This is a convenience component that will load a gltf file and clone the scene using drei/Clone. That means you can re-use and mount the same gltf file multiple times. It accepts all props that Clone does, including shortcuts (castShadow, receiveShadow) and material overrides.
<Gltf src="/model.glb" receiveShadow castShadow />
Abstraction of three's AsciiEffect. It creates a DOM layer on top of the canvas and renders the scene as ascii characters.
type AsciiRendererProps = {
/** Render index, default: 1 */
renderIndex?: number
/** CSS background color (can be "transparent"), default: black */
bgColor?: string
/** CSS character color, default: white */

/** Invert character, default: true */
invert?: boolean
/** Colorize output (very expensive!), default: false */
color?: boolean
/** Level of detail, default: 0.15 */
resolution?: number
}<Canvas>
<AsciiRenderer />
A declarative abstraction around antimatter15/splat. It supports re-use, multiple splats with correct depth sorting, splats can move and behave as a regular object3d's, supports alphahash & alphatest, and stream-loading.
type SplatProps = {
/** Url towards a *.splat file, no support for *.ply */
src: string
/** Whether to use tone mapping, default: false */
toneMapped?: boolean
/** Alpha test value, , default: 0 */
alphaTest?: number
/** Whether to use alpha hashing, default: false */
alphaHash?: boolean
/** Chunk size for lazy loading, prevents chokings the worker, default: 25000 (25kb) */
chunkSize?: number
} & JSX.IntrinsicElements['mesh']<Splat src="https://huggingface.co/cakewalk/splat-data/resolve/main/nike.splat" />In order to depth sort multiple splats correectly you can either use alphaTest, for instance with a low value. But keep in mind that this can show a slight outline under some viewing conditions.
<Splat alphaTest={0.1} src="foo.splat" />
<Splat alphaTest={0.1} src="bar.splat" />You can also use alphaHash, but this can be slower and create some noise, you would typically get rid of the noise in postprocessing with a TAA pass. You don't have to use alphaHash on all splats.
<Splat alphaHash src="foo.splat" />
Easily add reflections and/or blur to any mesh. It takes surface roughness into account for a more realistic effect. This material extends from THREE.MeshStandardMaterial and accepts all its props.
<mesh>
<planeGeometry />
<MeshReflectorMaterial
blur={[0, 0]} // Blur ground reflections (width, height), 0 skips blur
mixBlur={0} // How much blur mixes with surface roughness (default = 1)
mixStrength={1} // Strength of the reflections
mixContrast={1} // Contrast of the reflections
resolution={256} // Off-buffer resolution, lower=faster, higher=better quality, slower
mirror={0} // Mirror environment, 0 = texture colors, 1 = pick up env colors
depthScale={0} // Scale the depth factor (0 = no depth, default = 0)
minDepthThreshold={0.9} // Lower edge for the depthTexture interpolation (default = 0)
maxDepthThreshold={1} // Upper edge for the depthTexture interpolation (default = 0)
depthToBlurRatioBias={0.25} // Adds a bias factor to the depthTexture before calculating the blur amount [blurFactor = blurTexture * (depthTexture + bias)]. It accepts values between 0 and 1, default is 0.25. An amount > 0 of bias makes sure that the blurTexture is not too sharp because of the multiplication with the depthTexture
distortion={1} // Amount of distortion based on the distortionMap texture
distortionMap={distortionTexture} // The red channel of this texture is used as the distortion map. Default is null
debug={0} /* Depending on the assigned value, one of the following channels is shown:
0 = no debug
1 = depth channel
2 = base channel
3 = distortion channel
4 = lod channel (based on the roughness)
*/
reflectorOffset={0.2} // Offsets the virtual camera that projects the reflection. Useful when the reflective surface is some distance from the object's origin (default = 0)

</mesh>
)}
</CubeCamera>Otherwise just pass it an environment map.

An improved THREE.MeshPhysicalMaterial. It acts like a normal PhysicalMaterial in terms of transmission support, thickness, ior, roughness, etc., but has chromatic aberration, noise-based roughness blur, (primitive) anisotropic blur support, and unlike the original it can "see" other transmissive or transparent objects which leads to improved visuals.
Although it should be faster than MPM keep in mind that it can still be expensive as it causes an additional render pass of the scene. Low samples and low resolution will make it faster. If you use roughness consider using a tiny resolution, for instance 32x32 pixels, it will still look good but perform much faster.
For performance and visual reasons the host mesh gets removed from the render-stack temporarily. If you have other objects that you don't want to see reflected in the material just add them to the parent mesh as children.

}return (
<mesh geometry={geometry} {...props}>
<MeshTransmissionMaterial />If each material rendering the scene on its own is too expensive you can share a buffer texture. Either by enabling transmissionSampler which would use the threejs-internal buffer that MeshPhysicalMaterials use. This might be faster, the downside is that no transmissive material can "see" other transparent or transmissive objects.
<mesh geometry={torus}>
<MeshTransmissionMaterial transmissionSampler />
</mesh>
<mesh geometry={sphere}>
<MeshTransmissionMaterial transmissionSampler />
</mesh>Or, by passing a texture to buffer manually, for instance using useFBO.
const buffer = useFBO()
useFrame((state) => {
state.gl.setRenderTarget(buffer)
state.gl.render(state.scene, state.camera)
state.gl.setRenderTarget(null)
})
return (
<>
<mesh geometry={torus}>
<MeshTransmissionMaterial buffer={buffer.texture} />
</mesh>
<mesh geometry={sphere}>
<MeshTransmissionMaterial buffer={buffer.texture} />
</mesh>Or a PerspectiveCamera.

<mesh geometry={torus}>
<MeshTransmissionMaterial buffer={texture} />

)}This would mimic the default MeshPhysicalMaterial behaviour, these materials won't "see" one another, but at least they would pick up on everything else, including transmissive or transparent objects.

}Injects percent closer soft shadows (pcss) into threes shader chunk. Mounting and unmounting this component will lead to all shaders being be re-compiled, although it will only cause overhead if SoftShadows is mounted after the scene has already rendered, if it mounts with everything else in your scene shaders will compile naturally.

{...groupProps} // All THREE.Group props are valid
{...divProps} // All HTMLDivElement props are valid
>
<h1>hello</h1>
<p>world</p>
</Html>Html can hide behind geometry using the occlude prop.
<Html occlude />When the Html object hides it sets the opacity prop on the innermost div. If you want to animate or control the transition yourself then you can use onOcclude.
const [hidden, set] = useState()
<Html
occlude
onOcclude={set}
style={{
transition: 'all 0.5s',
opacity: hidden ? 0 : 1,
transform: `scale(${hidden ? 0.5 : 1})`
}}
/>Blending occlusion
Html can hide behind geometry as if it was part of the 3D scene using this mode. It can be enabled by using "blending" as the occlude prop.
// Enable real occlusion
<Html occlude="blending" />You can also give HTML material properties using the material prop.
<Html
occlude
material={
<meshPhysicalMaterial
side={DoubleSide} // Required
opacity={0.1} // Degree of influence of lighting on the HTML
... // Any other material properties
/>
}
/>Enable shadows using the castShadow and recieveShadow prop.
Note: Shadows only work with a custom material. Shadows will not work with
meshBasicMaterialandshaderMaterialby default.
<Html
occlude
castShadow // Make HTML cast a shadow
receiveShadow // Make HTML receive shadows
material={<meshPhysicalMaterial side={DoubleSide} opacity={0.1} />}
/>Note: Html 'blending' mode only correctly occludes rectangular HTML elements by default. Use the
geometryprop to swap the backing geometry to a custom one if your Html has a different shape.
If transform mode is enabled, the dimensions of the rendered html will depend on the position relative to the camera, the camera fov and the distanceFactor. For example, an Html component placed at (0,0,0) and with a distanceFactor of 10, rendered inside a scene with a perspective camera positioned at (0,0,2.45) and a FOV of 75, will have the same dimensions as a "plain" html element like in this example.
A caveat of transform mode is that on some devices and browsers, the rendered html may appear blurry, as discussed in #859. The issue can be at least mitigated by scaling down the Html parent and scaling up the html children:
<Html transform scale={0.5}>
<div style={{ transform: 'scale(2)' }}>Some text</div>
</Html>
This component allows you to cycle through all objects underneath the cursor with optional visual feedback. This can be useful for non-trivial selection, CAD data, housing, everything that has layers. It does this by changing the raycasters filter function and then refreshing the raycaster.
For this to work properly your event handler have to call event.stopPropagation(), for instance in onPointerOver or onClick, only one element can be selective for cycling to make sense.
<CycleRaycast
preventDefault={true} // Call event.preventDefault() (default: true)
scroll={true} // Wheel events (default: true)
keyCode={9} // Keyboard events (default: 9 [Tab])
onChanged={(objects, cycle) => console.log(objects, cycle)} // Optional onChanged event
/>

}This component allows you to select/unselect objects by clicking on them. It keeps track of the currently selected objects and can select multiple objects (with the shift key). Nested components can request the current selection (which is always an array) with the useSelect hook. With the box prop it will let you shift-box-select objects by holding and draging the cursor over multiple objects. Optionally you can filter the selected items as well as define in which shape they are stored by defining the filter prop.

}The SpriteAnimator component provided by drei is a powerful tool for animating sprites in a simple and efficient manner. It allows you to create sprite animations by cycling through a sequence of frames from a sprite sheet image or JSON data.
Notes:
- The SpriteAnimator component internally uses the useFrame hook from react-three-fiber (r3f) for efficient frame updates and rendering.
- The sprites (without a JSON file) should contain equal size frames
- Trimming of spritesheet frames is not yet supported
- Internally uses the
useSpriteLoaderor can use data from it directly

}Adds stats to document.body. It takes over the render-loop!
<Stats showPanel={0} className="stats" {...props} />You can choose to mount Stats to a different DOM Element - for example, for custom styling:
const node = useRef(document.createElement('div'))
useEffect(() => {
node.current.id = 'test'
document.body.appendChild(node.current)
return () => document.body.removeChild(node.current)
}, [])

Renders the scene into a depth-buffer. Often effects depend on it and this allows you to render a single buffer and share it, which minimizes the performance impact. It returns the buffer's depthTexture.
Since this is a rather expensive effect you can limit the amount of frames it renders when your objects are static. For instance making it render only once by setting frames: 1.
const depthBuffer = useDepthBuffer({
size: 256, // Size of the FBO, 256 by default
frames: Infinity, // How many frames it renders, Infinity by default
})
return <SomethingThatNeedsADepthBuffer depthBuffer={depthBuffer} />Creates a THREE.WebGLRenderTarget.

A hook for the rare case when you are using non-default cameras for heads-up-displays or portals, and you need events/raytracing to function properly (raycasting uses the default camera otherwise).
<mesh raycast={useCamera(customCamera)} />Creates a THREE.CubeCamera that renders into a fbo renderTarget and that you can update().
export function useCubeCamera({
/** Resolution of the FBO, 256 */
resolution?: number
/** Camera near, 0.1 */
near?: number
/** Camera far, 1000 */

/** Custom environment map that is temporarily set as the scenes background */
envMap?: THREE.Texture
/** Custom fog that is temporarily set as the scenes fog */
fog?: Fog | FogExp2
})const { fbo, camera, update } = useCubeCamera()This hook uses DetectGPU by @TimvanScherpenzeel, wrapped into suspense, to determine what tier should be assigned to the user's GPU.
👉 This hook CAN be used outside the @react-three/fiber Canvas.
function App() {
const GPUTier = useDetectGPU()
// show a fallback for mobile or lowest tier GPUs
return (
{(GPUTier.tier === "0" || GPUTier.isMobile) ? <Fallback /> : <Canvas>...</Canvas>
<Suspense fallback={null}>
<App />This hook calculates aspect ratios (for now only what in css would be image-size: cover is supported). You can use it to make an image fill the screen. It is responsive and adapts to viewport resize. Just give the hook the image bounds in pixels. It returns an array: [width, height, 1].
const scale = useAspect(
1024, // Pixel-width
512, // Pixel-height
1 // Optional scaling factor
)
return (
<mesh scale={scale}>
<planeGeometry />
<meshBasicMaterial map={imageTexture} />A small hook that sets the css body cursor according to the hover state of a mesh, so that you can give the user visual feedback when the mouse enters a shape. Arguments 1 and 2 determine the style, the defaults are: onPointerOver = 'pointer', onPointerOut = 'auto'.
const [hovered, set] = useState()
useCursor(hovered, /*'pointer', 'auto', document.body*/)
return (
<mesh onPointerOver={() => set(true)} onPointerOut={() => set(false)}>
A very cheap frustum check that gives you a reference you can observe in order to know if the object has entered the view or is outside of it. This relies on THREE.Object3D.onBeforeRender so it only works on objects that are effectively rendered, like meshes, lines, sprites. It won't work on groups, object3d's, bones, etc.
const ref = useIntersect((visible) => console.log('object is visible', visible))
return <mesh ref={ref} />
The cheapest possible way of getting reflections in threejs. This will box-project the current environment map onto a plane. It returns an object that you need to spread over its material. The spread object contains a ref, onBeforeCompile and customProgramCacheKey. If you combine it with drei/CubeCamera you can "film" a single frame of the environment and feed it to the material, thereby getting realistic reflections at no cost. Align it with the position and scale properties.
const projection = useBoxProjectedEnv(
[0, 0, 0], // Position
[1, 1, 1] // Scale
)
<CubeCamera frames={1}>
{(texture) => (
<mesh>
<planeGeometry />
<meshStandardMaterial envMap={texture} {...projection} />
</mesh>
)}
</CubeCamera>A hook to obtain an array of points that make up a Trail. You can use this array to drive your own MeshLine or make a trail out of anything you please.
Note: The hook returns a ref (MutableRefObject<Vector3[]>) this means updates to it will not trigger a re-draw, thus keeping this cheap.
const points = useTrail(
target, // Required target object. This object will produce the trail.
{
length, // Length of the line
decay, // How fast the line fades away
local, // Wether to use the target's world or local positions
stride, // Min distance between previous and current point
interval, // Number of frames to wait before next calculation
}
)
// To use...
useFrame(() => {
meshLineRef.current.position.setPoints(points.current)
})A hook to obtain the result of the <Sampler /> as a buffer. Useful for driving anything other than InstancedMesh via the Sampler.
const buffer = useSurfaceSampler(
mesh, // Mesh to sample
count, // [Optional] Number of samples (default: 16)
transform, // [Optional] Transformation function. Same as in `<Sampler />`
weight, // [Optional] Same as in `<Sampler />`
instancedMesh // [Optional] Instanced mesh to scatter
)A @mediapipe/tasks-vision FaceLandmarker provider, as well as a useFaceLandmarker hook.
<FaceLandmarker>{/* ... */}</FaceLandmarker>It will instanciate a FaceLandmarker object with the following defaults:
{
basePath: "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@mediapipe/tasks-vision@x.y.z/wasm", // x.y.z will value the @mediapipe/tasks-vision version, eg: 0.10.2
options: {
baseOptions: {
modelAssetPath: "https://storage.googleapis.com/mediapipe-models/face_landmarker/face_landmarker/float16/1/face_landmarker.task",
delegate: "GPU",
},
runningMode: "VIDEO",
outputFaceBlendshapes: true,
outputFacialTransformationMatrixes: true,
}
}You can override defaults, like for example self-host tasks-vision's wasm/ and face_landmarker.task model in you public/ directory:
$ ln -s ../node_modules/@mediapipe/tasks-vision/wasm/ public/tasks-vision-wasm
$ curl https://storage.googleapis.com/mediapipe-models/face_landmarker/face_landmarker/float16/1/face_landmarker.task -o public/face_landmarker.taskimport { FaceLandmarkerDefaults } from '@react-three/drei'
const visionBasePath = new URL("/tasks-vision-wasm", import.meta.url).toString()
const modelAssetPath = new URL("/face_landmarker.task", import.meta.url).toString()
const faceLandmarkerOptions = { ...FaceLandmarkerDefaults.options };
faceLandmarkerOptions.baseOptions.modelAssetPath = modelAssetPath;
<FaceLandmarker basePath={visionBasePath} options={faceLandmarkerOptions}>
A quick and easy loading overlay component that you can drop on top of your canvas. It's intended to "hide" the whole app, so if you have multiple suspense wrappers in your application, you should use multiple loaders. It will show an animated loadingbar and a percentage.
<Canvas>
<Suspense fallback={null}>
<AsyncModels />
</Suspense>
</Canvas>
<Loader />You can override styles, too.
<Loader
containerStyles={...container} // Flex layout styles
innerStyles={...inner} // Inner container styles
barStyles={...bar} // Loading-bar styles
dataStyles={...data} // Text styles
dataInterpolation={(p) => `Loading ${p.toFixed(2)}%`} // Text
initialState={(active) => active} // Initial black out state
>A convenience hook that wraps THREE.DefaultLoadingManager's progress status.
function Loader() {
const { active, progress, errors, item, loaded, total } = useProgress()
return <Html center>{progress} % loaded</Html>
}
return (
<Suspense fallback={<Loader />}>
<AsyncModels />
</Suspense>
)If you don't want your progress component to re-render on all changes you can be specific as to what you need, for instance if the component is supposed to collect errors only. Look into zustand for more info about selectors.
const errors = useProgress((state) => state.errors)👉 Note that your loading component does not have to be a suspense fallback. You can use it anywhere, even in your dom tree, for instance for overlays.
A convenience hook that uses useLoader and GLTFLoader, it defaults to CDN loaded draco binaries (https://www.gstatic.com/draco/v1/decoders/) which are only loaded for compressed models.
useGLTF(url)
useGLTF(url, '/draco-gltf')
useGLTF.preload(url)If you want to use your own draco decoder globally, you can pass it through useGLTF.setDecoderPath(path):
Note
If you are using the CDN loaded draco binaries, you can get a small speedup in loading time by prefetching them.You can accomplish this by adding two
<link>tags to your<head>tag, as below. The version in those URLs must exactly match what useGLTF uses for this to work. If you're using create-react-app,public/index.htmlfile contains the<head>tag.<link rel="prefetch" crossorigin="anonymous" href="https://www.gstatic.com/draco/versioned/decoders/1.5.5/draco_wasm_wrapper.js" /> <link rel="prefetch" crossorigin="anonymous" href="https://www.gstatic.com/draco/versioned/decoders/1.5.5/draco_decoder.wasm" />It is recommended that you check your browser's network tab to confirm that the correct URLs are being used, and that the files do get loaded from the prefetch cache on subsequent requests.
A convenience hook that uses useLoader and FBXLoader:
useFBX(url)
function SuzanneFBX() {
let fbx = useFBX('suzanne/suzanne.fbx')
return <primitive object={fbx} />
}A convenience hook that uses useLoader and TextureLoader
const texture = useTexture(url)
const [texture1, texture2] = useTexture([texture1, texture2])You can also use key: url objects:
const props = useTexture({
metalnessMap: url1,
map: url2,
})
return <meshStandardMaterial {...props} />A convenience hook that uses useLoader and KTX2Loader
const texture = useKTX2(url)
const [texture1, texture2] = useKTX2([texture1, texture2])
return <meshStandardMaterial map={texture} />A convenience hook that uses useLoader and CubeTextureLoader
const envMap = useCubeTexture(['px.png', 'nx.png', 'py.png', 'ny.png', 'pz.png', 'nz.png'], { path: 'cube/' })
A convenience hook that returns a THREE.VideoTexture and integrates loading into suspense. By default it falls back until the canplay event. Then it starts playing the video, which, if the video is muted, is allowed in the browser without user interaction.
type VideoTextureProps = {
unsuspend?: 'canplay' | 'canplaythrough' | 'loadedmetadata'
muted?: boolean
loop?: boolean
start?: boolean
crossOrigin?: string
}
export function useVideoTexture(src: string, props: VideoTextureProps) {
const { unsuspend, start, crossOrigin, muted, loop } = {
unsuspend: 'canplay',
crossOrigin: 'Anonymous',
muted: true,
loop: true,
start: true
...props,
}const texture = useVideoTexture("/video.mp4")
return (
<mesh>
<meshBasicMaterial map={texture} toneMapped={false} />It also accepts a MediaStream from eg. .getDisplayMedia() or .getUserMedia():
const [stream, setStream] = useState()
return (
<mesh onClick={async () => setStream(await navigator.mediaDevices.getDisplayMedia({ video: true }))}>
<React.Suspense fallback={<meshBasicMaterial wireframe />}>
<VideoMaterial src={stream} />
</React.Suspense>function VideoMaterial({ src }) {
const texture = useVideoTexture(src)
return <meshBasicMaterial map={texture} toneMapped={false} />
}NB: It's important to wrap VideoMaterial into React.Suspense since, useVideoTexture(src) here will be suspended until the user shares its screen.
This hook returns a THREE.Texture with a pointer trail which can be used in shaders to control displacement among other things, and a movement callback event => void which reads from event.uv.

<Instance />
</group>Instances can also receive non-instanced objects, for instance annotations!
<Instance>
<Html>hello from the dom</Html>
</Instance>You can define events on them!
<Instance onClick={...} onPointerOver={...} />👉 Note: While creating instances declaratively keeps all the power of components with reduced draw calls, it comes at the cost of CPU overhead. For cases like foliage where you want no CPU overhead with thousands of intances you should use THREE.InstancedMesh such as in this example.
This creates instances for existing meshes and allows you to use them cheaply in the same scene graph. Each type will cost you exactly one draw call, no matter how many you use. meshes has to be a collection of pre-existing THREE.Mesh objects.

</Detailed>The WebGLRenderer will compile materials only when they hit the frustrum, which can cause jank. This component precompiles the scene using gl.compile which makes sure that your app is responsive from the get go.
By default gl.compile will only preload visible objects, if you supply the all prop, it will circumvent that. With the scene and camera props you could also use it in portals.
<Canvas>
<Suspense fallback={null}>
<Model />
<Preload all />Sets gl.shadowMap.autoUpdate to false while mounted and requests a single gl.shadowMap.needsUpdate = true afterwards. This freezes all shadow maps the moment this component comes in, which makes shadows performant again (with the downside that they are now static). Mount this component in lock-step with your models, for instance by dropping it into the same suspense boundary of a model that loads.
<Canvas>
<Suspense fallback={null}>
<Model />
<BakeShadows />A very fast, but often good-enough bounds-only raycast for meshes. You can use this if performance has precedence over pointer precision.
<mesh raycast={meshBounds} />Drop this component into your scene and it will cut the pixel-ratio on regress according to the canvas's performance min/max settings. This allows you to temporarily reduce visual quality in exchange for more performance, for instance when the camera moves (look into drei's controls regress flag). Optionally, you can set the canvas to a pixelated filter, which would be even faster.
<AdaptiveDpr pixelated />Drop this component into your scene and it will switch off the raycaster while the system is in regress.
<AdaptiveEvents />An abstraction around gkjohnson/three-mesh-bvh to speed up raycasting exponentially. Use this component to wrap your scene, a sub-graph, a model or single mesh, and it will automatically compute boundsTree and assign acceleratedRaycast. This component is side-effect free, once unmounted or disabled it will revert to the original raycast.

</Canvas>This component will collect the average fps (frames per second) over time. If after a couple of iterations the averages are below or above a threshold it will trigger onIncline and onDecline callbacks that allow you to respond. Typically you would reduce the quality of your scene, the resolution, effects, the amount of stuff to render, or, increase it if you have enough framerate to fill.
Since this would normally cause ping-ponging between the two callbacks you define upper and lower framerate bounds, as long as you stay within that margin nothing will trigger. Ideally your app should find its way into that margin by gradually altering quality.

}A simple example for regulating the resolution. It starts out with 1.5, if the system falls below the bounds it goes to 1, if it's fast enough it goes to 2.
function App() {
const [dpr, setDpr] = useState(1.5)
return (
<Canvas dpr={dpr}>
<PerformanceMonitor onIncline={() => setDpr(2)} onDecline={() => setDpr(1)} />You can also use the onChange callback to get notified when the average changes in whichever direction. This allows you to make gradual changes. It gives you a factor between 0 and 1, which is increased by incline and decreased by decline. The factor is initially 0.5 by default. If your app starts with lowest defaults and gradually increases quality set factor to 0. If it starts with highest defaults and decreases quality, set it to 1. If it starts in the middle and can either increase or decrease, set it to 0.5.
The following starts at the highest dpr (2) and clamps the gradual dpr between 0.5 at the lowest and 2 at the highest. If the app is in trouble it will reduce factor by step until it is either 0 or the app has found its sweet spot above that.
const [dpr, setDpr] = useState(2)
return (
<Canvas dpr={dpr}>
<PerformanceMonitor factor={1} onChange={({ factor }) => setDpr(Math.floor(0.5 + 1.5 * factor, 1))} />If you still experience flip flops despite the bounds you can define a limit of flipflops. If it is met onFallback will be triggered which typically sets a lowest possible baseline for the app. After the fallback has been called PerformanceMonitor will shut down.
<PerformanceMonitor flipflops={3} onFallback={() => setDpr(1)} />PerformanceMonitor can also have children, if you wrap your app in it you get to use usePerformanceMonitor which allows individual components down the nested tree to respond to performance changes on their own.

Renders a heads-up-display (HUD). Each HUD is a scene on top of the previous. That scene is inside a React createPortal and is completely isolated, you can have your own cameras in there, environments, etc. The first HUD (renderpriotity === 1) will clear the scene and render the default scene, it needs to be the first to execute! Make sure to be explicit about the renderpriority of your HUDs.

Views use gl.scissor to cut the viewport into segments. You tie a view to a tracking div which then controls the position and bounds of the viewport. This allows you to have multiple views with a single, performant canvas. These views will follow their tracking elements, scroll along, resize, etc.
It is advisable to re-connect the event system to a parent that contains both the canvas and the html content. This ensures that both are accessible/selectable and even allows you to mount controls or other deeper integrations into your view.
Note that
@react-three/fibernewer than^8.1.0is required forViewto work correctly if the canvas/react three fiber root is not fullscreen. A warning will be logged if drei is used with older versions of@react-three/fiber.

}This component will take over system rendering. It portals its children into a cubemap which is then projected onto a sphere. The sphere is rendered out on the screen, filling it. You can lower the resolution to increase performance. Six renders per frame are necessary to construct a full fisheye view, and since each facet of the cubemap only takes a portion of the screen full resolution is not necessary. You can also reduce the amount of segments (resulting in edgier rounds).

}A material that creates a portal into another scene. It is drawn onto the geometry of the mesh that it is applied to.

If blend is 0 your scene will render as usual, if blend is higher it will start to blend the root scene and the portal scene, if blend is 1 it will only render the portal scene. If you put a ref on the material you can transition entering the portal, for instance lerping blend if the camera is close, or on click.

<Resize height>
<Box args={[70, 40, 20]}>
</Resize>A component using AABB (Axis-aligned bounding boxes) to offset children position by specified multipliers (anchor property) on each axis. You can use this component to change children positioning in regard of the parent's bounding box, eg. pinning Html component to one of the parent's corners. Multipliers determine the offset value based on the AABB's size:
childrenAnchor = boundingBoxPosition + (boundingBoxSize * anchor / 2)
<BBAnchor
anchor // THREE.Vector3 or [number, number, number]
{...groupProps} // All THREE.Group props are valid
>
{children}
</BBAnchor>For instance, one could want the Html component to be pinned to positive x, positive y, and positive z corner of a Box object:
<Box>
<BBAnchor anchor={[1, 1, 1]}>
<Html center>
<span>Hello world!</span>
</Html>
</BBAnchor>
</Box>
Calculates a boundary box and centers the camera accordingly. If you are using camera controls, make sure to pass them the makeDefault prop. fit fits the current view on first render. clip sets the cameras near/far planes. observe will trigger on window resize. To control the damping animation, use maxDuration to set the animation length in seconds, and interpolateFunc to define how the animation changes over time (should be an increasing function in [0, 1] interval, interpolateFunc(0) === 0, interpolateFunc(1) === 1).
const interpolateFunc = (t: number) => 1 - Math.exp(-5 * t) + 0.007 * t // Matches the default Bounds behavior
const interpolateFunc1 = (t: number) => -t * t * t + 2 * t * t // Start smoothly, finish linearly
const interpolateFunc2 = (t: number) => -t * t * t + t * t + t // Start linearly, finish smoothly
<Bounds fit clip observe margin={1.2} maxDuration={1} interpolateFunc={interpolateFunc}>
<mesh />
</Bounds>The Bounds component also acts as a context provider, use the useBounds hook to refresh the bounds, fit the camera, clip near/far planes, go to camera orientations or focus objects. refresh(object?: THREE.Object3D | THREE.Box3) will recalculate bounds, since this can be expensive only call it when you know the view has changed. reset centers the view. moveTo changes the camera position. lookAt changes the camera orientation, with the respect to up-vector, if specified. clip sets the cameras near/far planes. fit centers the view for non-orthographic cameras (same as reset) or zooms the view for orthographic cameras.
function Foo() {
const bounds = useBounds()
useEffect(() => {
// Calculate scene bounds
bounds.refresh().clip().fit()
// Or, focus a specific object or box3
// bounds.refresh(ref.current).clip().fit()
// bounds.refresh(new THREE.Box3()).clip().fit()
// Or, move the camera to a specific position, and change its orientation
// bounds.moveTo([0, 10, 10]).lookAt({ target: [5, 5, 0], up: [0, -1, 0] })
// For orthographic cameras, reset has to be used to center the view (fit would only change its zoom to match the bounding box)
// bounds.refresh().reset().clip().fit()
}, [...])

A component for applying a configurable camera shake effect. Currently only supports rotational camera shake. Pass a ref to recieve the ShakeController API.
If you use shake in combination with controls make sure to set the makeDefault prop on your controls, in that case you do not have to pass them via the controls prop.
const config = {
maxYaw: 0.1, // Max amount camera can yaw in either direction
maxPitch: 0.1, // Max amount camera can pitch in either direction
maxRoll: 0.1, // Max amount camera can roll in either direction

rollFrequency: 0.1, // Frequency of the roll rotation
intensity: 1, // initial intensity of the shake
decay: false, // should the intensity decay over time
decayRate: 0.65, // if decay = true this is the rate at which intensity will reduce at
controls: undefined, // if using orbit controls, pass a ref here so we can update the rotation
}
<CameraShake {...config} />interface ShakeController {
getIntensity: () => number
setIntensity: (val: number) => void
}

Caustics are swirls of light that appear when light passes through transmissive surfaces. This component uses a raymarching technique to project caustics onto a catcher plane. It is based on github/N8python/caustics.
type CausticsProps = JSX.IntrinsicElements['group'] & {
/** How many frames it will render, set it to Infinity for runtime, default: 1 */
frames?: number
/** Enables visual cues to help you stage your scene, default: false */
debug?: boolean
/** Will display caustics only and skip the models, default: false */
causticsOnly: boolean
/** Will include back faces and enable the backsideIOR prop, default: false */
backside: boolean
/** The IOR refraction index, default: 1.1 */
ior?: number
/** The IOR refraction index for back faces (only available when backside is enabled), default: 1.1 */
backsideIOR?: number
/** The texel size, default: 0.3125 */
worldRadius?: number
/** Intensity of the prjected caustics, default: 0.05 */
intensity?: number
/** Caustics color, default: white */
color?: ReactThreeFiber.Color
/** Buffer resolution, default: 2048 */
resolution?: number
/** Camera position, it will point towards the contents bounds center, default: [5, 5, 5] */
lightSource?: [x: number, y: number, z: number] | React.MutableRefObject<THREE.Object3D>
}It will create a transparent plane that blends the caustics of the objects it receives into your scene. It will only render once and not take resources any longer!
Make sure to use the debug flag to help you stage your contents. Like ContactShadows and AccumulativeShadows the plane faces Y up. It is recommended to use leva to configue the props above as some can be micro fractional depending on the models (intensity, worldRadius, ior and backsideIOR especially).
<Caustics debug backside lightSource={[2.5, 5, -2.5]}>
<Bottle />
<WineGlass>
</Caustics>Sometimes you want to combine caustics for even better visuals, or if you want to emulate multiple lightsources. Use the causticsOnly flag in such cases and it will use the model inside only for calculations. Since all loaders in Fiber should be cached there is no expense or memory overhead doing this.
<Caustics backside lightSource={[2.5, 5, -2.5]} >
<WineGlass />
</Caustics>
<Caustics causticsOnly backside lightSource={[-2.5, 5, 2.5]} ior={0.79} worldRadius={0.0124}>
<WineGlass />
</Caustics>The light source can either be defined by prop or by reference. Use the latter if you want to control the light source, for instance in order to move or animate it. Runtime caustics with frames set to Infinity, a low resolution and no backside can be feasible.
const lightSource = useRef()
<Caustics frames={Infinity} resolution={256} lightSource={lightSource} >
<WineGlass />
</Caustics>
<object3d ref={lightSource} position={[2.5, 5, -2.5]} />
A contact shadow implementation, facing upwards (positive Y) by default. scale can be a positive number or a 2D array [x: number, y: number].
<ContactShadows opacity={1} scale={10} blur={1} far={10} resolution={256} color="#000000" />Since this is a rather expensive effect you can limit the amount of frames it renders when your objects are static. For instance making it render only once:
<ContactShadows frames={1} />A randomized light that internally runs multiple lights and jiggles them. See below, you would normally pair it with AccumulativeShadows. This component is context aware, paired with AccumulativeShadows it will take the number of frames from its parent.

}
A planar, Y-up oriented shadow-catcher that can accumulate into soft shadows and has zero performance impact after all frames have accumulated. It can be temporal, it will accumulate over time, or instantaneous, which might be expensive depending on how many frames you render.
You must pair it with lightsources (and scene objects!) that cast shadows, which go into the children slot. Best use it with the RandomizedLight component, which jiggles a set of lights around, creating realistic raycast-like shadows and ambient occlusion.

A Volumetric spotlight.
<SpotLight
distance={5}
angle={0.15}
attenuation={5}
anglePower={5} // Diffuse-cone anglePower (default: 5)
/>Optionally you can provide a depth-buffer which converts the spotlight into a soft particle.
function Foo() {
const depthBuffer = useDepthBuffer()
return <SpotLight depthBuffer={depthBuffer} />
A shadow caster that can help cast shadows of different patterns (textures) onto the scene.
<SpotLight>
<SpotLightShadow
distance={0.4} // Distance between the shadow caster and light
alphaTest={0.5} // Sets the alpha value to be used when running an alpha test. See Material.alphaTest
scale={1} // Scale of the shadow caster plane
map={undefined} // Texture - Pattern of the shadow
shader={undefined} // Optional shader to run. Lets you add effects to the shadow map. See bellow
width={512} // Width of the shadow map. The higher the more expnsive
height={512} // Height of the shadow map. The higher the more expnsive
/>
</SpotLight>An optional shader prop lets you run a custom shader to modify/add effects to your shadow texture. The shader provides the following uniforms and varyings.
| Type | Name | Notes |
|---|---|---|
varying vec2 |
vUv |
UVs of the shadow casting plane |
uniform sampler2D |
uShadowMap |
The texture provided to the map prop |
uniform float |
uTime |
Current time |
Treat the output of the shader like an alpha map where 1 is opaque and 0 is transparent.
gl_FragColor = vec4(vec3(1.), 1.); // Opaque
gl_FragColor = vec4(vec3(0.), 1.); // Transparent
Sets up a global cubemap, which affects the default scene.environment, and optionally scene.background, unless a custom scene has been passed. A selection of presets from HDRI Haven are available for convenience. If you pass an array of files it will use THREE.CubeTextureLoader.
<Environment
background={false} // can be true, false or "only" (which only sets the background) (default: false)
blur={0} // blur factor between 0 and 1 (default: 0, only works with three 0.146 and up)
files={['px.png', 'nx.png', 'py.png', 'ny.png', 'pz.png', 'nz.png']}
path="/"
preset={null}
scene={undefined} // adds the ability to pass a custom THREE.Scene, can also be a ref
encoding={undefined} // adds the ability to pass a custom THREE.TextureEncoding (default: THREE.sRGBEncoding for an array of files and THREE.LinearEncoding for a single texture)
/>The simplest way to use it is to provide a preset. 👉 Note: preset property is not meant to be used in production environments and may fail as it relies on CDNs.
<Environment preset="city" />If you provide a single string it will use THREE.RGBELoader.
<Environment files="file.hdr" />You can also use @pmndrs/assets to easily self host common assets. Always use dynamic imports to avoid making this part of your main bundle.
import { suspend } from 'suspend-react'
const city = import('@pmndrs/assets/hdri/city.exr').then((module) => module.default)
<Environment files={suspend(city)} />If you already have a cube texture you can pass it directly:
<CubeCamera>{(texture) => <Environment map={texture} />}</CubeCamera>If you provide children you can even render a custom environment. It will render the contents into an off-buffer and film a single frame with a cube camera (whose props you can configure: near=1, far=1000, resolution=256).
<Environment background near={1} far={1000} resolution={256}>
<mesh scale={100}>
<sphereGeometry args={[1, 64, 64]} />
<meshBasicMaterial map={texture} side={THREE.BackSide} />
</mesh>
</Environment>You can even mix a generic HDRI environment into a custom one with either the preset or the files prop.
return (
<Environment background near={1} far={1000} resolution={256} preset="warehouse">
<mesh />Declarative environment content can also animate with the frames prop, the envmap can be live. Give it a low resolution and this will happen at very little cost
return (
<Environment frames={Infinity} resolution={256}>
<Float>
<mesh />
</Float>Environment can also be ground projected, that is, put your model on the "ground" within the environment map.
<Environment ground />You can provide optional options to configure this projecion.
<Environment
ground={{
height: 15, // Height of the camera that was used to create the env map (Default: 15)
radius: 60, // Radius of the world. (Default 60)
scale: 1000, // Scale of the backside projected sphere that holds the env texture (Default: 1000)
}}
/>
This component draws flat rectangles, circles or rings, mimicking the look of a light-former. You can set the output intensity, which will effect emissiveness once you put it into an HDRI <Environment>, where it mostly belong. It will act like a real light without the expense, you can have as many as you want.
<Environment>
<Lightformer
form="rect" // circle | ring | rect (optional, default = rect)
