react-three-flex VS react-three-fiber

i guess if that were a serious project i would use flexbox https://github.com/pmndrs/react-three-flex

a real responsive with overlap or wrapping and such needs a layout engine. this for instance is based on yoga, an open source flex implementation https://github.com/pmndrs/react-three-flex

I think you can do a lot of this with [React-three-fiber](https://docs.pmnd.rs/react-three-fiber/getting-started/intro...) in combination with [React-three-flex](https://github.com/pmndrs/react-three-flex). React-three-fiber lets you make three.js components in react, and react-three-flex will let you do flexbox style layouts to make interesting UIs. You still get all of the capabilities of three.js with a lot of the plumbing done for you. Check out the examples from react-three-flex for some examples close to what it sounds like you want to achieve.

there is https://github.com/pmndrs/react-three-flex which is a flexbox implementation for threejs. here's a demo site made with it: https://7psew.csb.app but yeah, it's react + threejs 🤷‍♂️

That parenthetical “or anything declarative really” is doing a lot of work, given that:

React is a tool for writing 3D scenes that can handle state updates: https://github.com/pmndrs/react-three-fiber

React is a tool for writing music that can handle state updates: https://github.com/FormidableLabs/react-music

React is a tool for writing infrastructure-as-code templates that… um… could with some additional work handle state updates: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/aws-terraform-generator-using...

Advanced Examples and Utilities Three.js React https://github.com/pmndrs/react-three-fiber : React Three Fiber is a React renderer for Three.js, making it easier to integrate Three.js with React.

this is perfect then. a large part of the threejs userbase is using https://github.com/pmndrs/react-three-fiber (roughly 1/4, and growing) and this is also where you find lots of job opportunities. fiber has a vast eco system, but if you can pair this with your knowledge of shaders you'll find a job tomorrow if you wanted.

there's 3d with threeJS you could play around with that and hooking it into react with react-three-fiber.

Have you looked at this: https://github.com/pmndrs/react-three-fiber

Only instance in recent memory where I was able to get something working with Expo but not the CLI was when trying to integrate react-three-fiber, but even that may be resolved now.

this will put you at a massive advantage: https://github.com/pmndrs/react-three-fiber it's a renderer, just like react-dom, it won't change what threejs is or how it functions.

there's a whole eco system around three in react and next. it starts with react-three-fiber, drei has tons of helpers, and then there's three-next for when you need 100% lighthouse, persisting canvas across routes etc.

I picked the stack I did to expand upon my skill set. In particular, I wanted to brush up on react-three-fiber, react-spring & drei.

I think the easiest for you would be to get into this through web development try this https://github.com/pmndrs/react-three-fiber coupled with this https://github.com/pmndrs/react-xr But don't expect super beautiful graphic from this, it's abstraction over three.js library which is abstraction over webgl standard which implements OpenGL ES 2.0 which is 7 years old graphics standard targeted to mobile devices with not much power. Or you can experiment with unity (unity XR) or unreal engine which are harder to learn but produce better graphics.
