Configure 3D models with react-three-fiber

Loading 3D models into a WebGL scene can be challenging, but tools like react-three-fiber simplify this process by integrating Three.js functionalities with React's component model. This article explains how to render and configure 3D assets in a React project using react-three-fiber, focusing on the use of glTF formats for efficient model loading and the creation of reusable React components. It guides the reader through setting up a project, converting and compressing model files, and implementing performance optimizations such as on-demand rendering. The tutorial further explores the use of Valtio for state management to enable interactive features like color picking, and demonstrates model animation using the useFrame Hook. The article concludes by highlighting potential applications of 3D models in web projects, encouraging readers to experiment with additional features and customizations.
