OrbitControls in Three.js allow users to rotate and zoom around a central target point. This Skill provides code examples and best practices to implement them correctly for 3D model viewers, preventing common camera movement pitfalls.

MapControls enforce panning parallel to the screen like a 2D map viewer, while FlyControls enable free movement through 3D space for flight simulation. This Skill documents both to help you choose the right control for your interactive application.

PointerLockControls hide the cursor and lock mouse movement to control camera rotation in first-person games. This Skill covers the implementation steps and best practices needed to integrate this control mechanism into your Three.js project effectively.

Common pitfalls when using TransformControls include conflicting raycasting events and unexpected camera transformations. This Skill highlights critical warnings and anti-patterns to avoid these issues when manipulating objects within your 3D scenes.

Using multiple camera controls simultaneously in Three.js requires careful event management to prevent input conflicts. This Skill offers best practices and guidance on managing control states to ensure predictable camera behavior across different interaction modes.
