three-gltf-viewer VS drei

i tested it on https://gltf-viewer.donmccurdy.com/ now and it showed well with texture and all features...

Check if the file is correct first via https://gltf-viewer.donmccurdy.com

If you're unfamiliar with glTF, it is a more modern 3D content format developed by the Khronos Group. Windows has a built-in viewer, but unfortunately the renderer it uses makes all the models look like they were dipped in gloss. I often use: https://gltf-viewer.donmccurdy.com/

Does the animation play correctly when you open the model in a viewer like https://sandbox.babylonjs.com/ or https://gltf-viewer.donmccurdy.com/ ? If so, the problem is likely related to your three.js code, and you may have better luck asking on the [three.js forums](https://discourse.threejs.org/).

In blender and in windows 3d viewer it shows up clean and as intended, but in a glb viewer like gltf viewer ( which works the same as shopify , same errors)

Not much to go on, but maybe your scene doesn't have lighting. Try loading the glb with gltf-viewer or gltf.report

Does it look the same in gltf-viewer? Does the textures tab show the correct images on gltf.report?

Drop it in gltf-viewer or try importing it in Blender to make sure. I feel it's much more likely you're just getting a cached version. If it turns out to be the case, just keep devtools open and tick 'Disable cache' on the Network tab

gltf-viewer is best for just viewing scenes: Its UI is dead simple, you can navigate, choose cameras, playing animations, it meets the viewing needs, and... If you think about it, a web app is ideal, because new extensions are being officially ratified into gltf as time goes on. In a month or so it'll have gpu instance meshes, before long there'll be materialx... and I can't even name a non-web viewer that supports files with mesh compression or even gpu compressed textures yet. With a web app you can be sure it's up to date and should support features before they are even widely used

In React, there are different libraries for rendering 3D. In this article, we will focus on how to use the Three.js Library, React Three Fiber library, and the React Three Drei library for creating 3D objects.

I have been using react-three-fiber and react-three-drei - the react version of this project. The examples are over whelming and wonderful

https://docs.pmnd.rs/react-three-fiber/getting-started/examp...

One of my favorites is the image gallery. I modified this so that clicking on an image take you into another room (gallery).

https://github.com/pmndrs/drei is a collection of examples and helpers.

Most impressive to me is the one using a GLTF model, video textures on text, reflections and more. A standalone version is

But even more impressive is the sandbox showing the not-very-many-lines-of-code at

A lot to putting a layer on top of threejs and I have run a fair number of head scratchers. But still the potential is huge. Using threejs has completely changed the way I look at website development. So if you are a svelte person I would definitely look into this.

the shader is here if you want it in vanilla https://github.com/pmndrs/drei/blob/master/src/core/Outlines.tsx though keep in mind it needs some additional work to support skeletons and instances, that's the code in the layout effect.

the eco system gives you so much freedom, especially when it comes to properly align, display your models, and to make them look nice. there are dozens of components for staging, lighting, soft shadows, you would miss out on all of that https://github.com/pmndrs/drei

there are more pain points than can be enumerated. i think you should take a look here https://github.com/pmndrs/drei and pmndrs in general. also the eco system it has covered so far.

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.

Definitely ThreeJS and specifically React Three Fiber. React Three Fiber is an amazing wrapper around three that greatly reduces boilerplate. And because of how modular react is, the community has grown massively. With lots of helper components in the Drei library, and amazing examples in the author's Twitter. The Codesandbox is also a goldmine of example. And one of the best-produced courses by Bruno Simon to help you get started. He is the creator of this famous portfolio site.

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.
