A minimalist starter for NextJS, @react-three/fiber and Threejs.

• TTL ~ 100ms
• First load JS ~ 79kb
• Lighthouse score of 100 (Performance, Accessibility, Best Practices, SEO)

This starter allows you to navigate seamlessly between pages with dynamic dom and/or canvas content without reloading or creating a new canvas every time. 3D components are usable anywhere in the dom. The events, dom, viewport, everything is synchronized!

Tailwind is the default style. styled-components (styled) are also available.

yarn create r3f-app next my-app
# yarn create r3f-app <next> my-app <tailwind|styled>? -ts?
# npx create-r3f-app next my-app

For typescript add the parameter -ts or --typescript:

yarn create r3f-app next my-app -ts
# npx create-r3f-app next my-app -ts

• GLSL imports
• Canvas is not getting unmounted while navigating between pages
• Canvas components usable in any div of the page
• Based on the App directory architecture
• PWA Support

Thanks to tunnel-rat the starter can portal components between separate renderers. Anything rendered inside the <View/> component of the starter will be rendered in the 3D Context. For better performances it uses gl.scissor to cut the viewport into segments.

<div className='relative'>
  <View orbit className='relative sm:h-48 sm:w-full'>
    <Dog scale={2} />
    // Some 3D components will be rendered here
  </View>
</div>
