SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Building interactive 3D web experiences with Three.js requires coordinating scenes, cameras, renderers, materials, lights, and animations while avoiding common pitfalls like memory leaks, z-fighting, and color space errors. This Skill provides production-tested patterns, API references, and boilerplate generators to accelerate 3D web development. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Complete Scene Patterns: Ready-to-use code for scene setup, lighting strategies (three-point, physical, hemisphere), shadow configuration, raycasting interaction, and glTF model loading with DRACO compression. - Performance Optimization: Guidance on InstancedMesh, LOD, geometry reuse, texture compression, and resource disposal, plus a dedicated optimization checklist for desktop and mobile targets. - Materials Reference: In-depth guide covering MeshBasicMaterial through MeshPhysicalMaterial with PBR workflows, texture color spaces, and custom GLSL shaders. - Use Case: Build a product configurator by generating a starter scene with the setup script, loading a compressed glTF model, applying PBR materials with environment lighting, and adding raycasting so users can click parts to customize colors. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to create a Three.js scene with orbit controls, shadow-enabled lighting, and a rotating PBR cube using this skill.

Frequently Asked Questions about threejs-webgl

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up a basic Three.js scene with WebGL?

Create a Scene, PerspectiveCamera, and WebGLRenderer, then add lights and meshes before starting a requestAnimationFrame loop. The skill includes a setup_scene.py script that generates boilerplate code with configurable camera, lighting, and shadow options.

How to load glTF models in Three.js with DRACO compression?

Use GLTFLoader with DRACOLoader by setting the decoder path and attaching it via setDRACOLoader. Traverse the loaded model to enable shadows on meshes, and use AnimationMixer to play embedded animations in the render loop.

What is the difference between WebGLRenderer and WebGPURenderer in Three.js?

WebGLRenderer is the established renderer with broad browser support, while WebGPURenderer is the modern alternative imported from three/webgpu using setAnimationLoop instead of requestAnimationFrame. WebGPU offers better performance potential but has limited browser compatibility.

Which Three.js material should I use for realistic rendering?

MeshStandardMaterial is recommended for realistic PBR rendering with roughness and metalness workflows. Use MeshPhysicalMaterial for advanced effects like clearcoat, transmission for glass, or iridescence, and MeshBasicMaterial or MeshLambertMaterial when performance matters more than realism.

Why does my Three.js scene have z-fighting or flickering surfaces?

Z-fighting occurs from overlapping coplanar surfaces or an excessive near-to-far plane ratio. Increase the near plane distance, decrease the far plane, or enable material.polygonOffset with negative factor values to resolve depth conflicts.

How do I optimize Three.js performance for mobile devices?

Lower the pixel ratio to 1, disable antialiasing, use simpler materials like MeshLambertMaterial, reduce texture resolution to 512-1024px, and limit shadow-casting lights. The optimization checklist reference covers draw call reduction, LOD, and memory disposal strategies.
