component-material VS gltfjsx

For the translucent blue color we can use a simple shader by using component-material on the first material

GLTFs into JSX: Convert GLTF files into JSX components

We will create two components using the GLTFJSX tool. This tool transforms 3D models (in gltf format or others) into ready-to-use components for your React Three Fiber project. Try it yourself with our two models!

Creating geometric shapes is fun, but we can also create 3D models using applications like Blender, Maya, Sketchfab, and TurboSquid. In this section, we will run a 3D model using an already-created model from Sketchfab. We will use the GLTF file model. We will also use the GLTF pipeline, and GLTFJSX packages to convert the GLTF file to Draco GLTF and then to a React JSX file. To start first;

Hello! I loaded a model using https://gltf.pmnd.rs and it displays correctly, but there are weird gaps that you can see through on the edges. This is a Next.js project with ts. I'm using @react-three/fiber and @rect-three/drei to use three.js in react. I'll attach the file that creates this object, but if there's anything more you need, just ask me. Here's the file that contains the code of this object:

Then we need to generate a react component that will contain the markup of this model to add it to the scene. Let's use the official resource from the @react-three/fiber developers.

especially for what you describe above. it can lay out a glb model declaratively, the whole scene is yours to control. watch the first video here https://github.com/pmndrs/gltfjsx and then use that tool:

stuff like this doesn't have to be keyframed, you can just rotate model groups. im sure this will be overwhelming atm but if you have the time watch the video there https://github.com/pmndrs/gltfjsx models in threejs are blobs, they are not meant to do anything. people traverse them and create mutations. but that tool puts the entire model scene under your control, every node in its graph is declarative now, to my it dynamic is trivial at that point.

the second practically doesn't exist in vanilla three. a gltf is a blob that you throw into the scene. pair three with react and blender will be a lot more useful: https://github.com/pmndrs/gltfjsx (watch the first video there)
