shopify-editions-3d-site

Structure the site as a content system and a scene system: data-driven release sections plus a sticky full-viewport canvas with per-section React Three Fiber scene components. Load models with GLTFLoader, DRACOLoader, and KTX2Loader, and provide static fallback images per section.

Use React with Vite or Remix-style routing, Tailwind or a tokenized CSS layer, and Three.js with React Three Fiber for scenes. Add GLTFLoader, DRACOLoader, and KTX2Loader for production 3D assets rather than hand-rolling loading logic.

Degrade in layers: full WebGL scene first, then a static fallback image or lightweight video per section, then plain content with text and cards. Asset-loading errors should affect only their scene, never the whole page.

Yes. Configure GLTFLoader with DRACOLoader for compressed geometry and KTX2Loader with detectSupport(renderer) for compressed textures. Point decoder paths to local public files or a stable CDN and cache loaders instead of recreating them per frame.

Blank canvases usually come from failed asset loads, excessive DPR, or missing fallback handling. Cap DPR by viewport and quality tier, verify nonblank pixels after load, test missing-asset behavior, and ensure each scene renders meaningfully within 1-2 seconds.

Implement prefers-reduced-motion by disabling orbiting, scroll-scrubbed animation, particle movement, and shader-heavy transitions while keeping content hierarchy intact. Keep state like reduced motion and render quality explicit rather than inside animation callbacks.
