r3f-animation

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a concise toolkit for implementing robust 3D animations in React Three Fiber, including frame-based updates, GLTF animations, morph targets, and spring physics.

Core Features & Use Cases

• UseFrame-based animation control for real-time updates to mesh properties.
• useAnimations for GLTF clip playback and smooth crossfades between actions.
• Morph targets support for dynamic expressions and smooth deformations.
• Spring-based motion with react-spring for natural, physics-inspired movement.
• Use Case: Build an interactive product preview with fluid model animations.

Quick Start

Install the required libraries and create a minimal AnimatedMesh component using useFrame to rotate a cube, then extend to load a GLTF model with useAnimations.
