Interactive 3D Graphics

3 posts · Oct 2022 – Oct 2024

What this trail covers

Vercel's platform supports the creation and deployment of interactive 3D graphics experiences, leveraging technologies like React Three Fiber and physics engines for dynamic and engaging web content. This includes AI-powered generation of 3D scenes and components via v0, integration with GLB files, and advanced rendering techniques like postprocessing and environment maps. The platform facilitates mixing 3D elements with HTML/CSS and provides user navigation controls.

All Vercel trails
  1. Add 3D to your web projects with v0 and React Three FiberThis post details how to integrate React Three Fiber (R3F) with v0, Vercel's AI-powered development assistant, to generate 3D scenes. It covers basic 3D concepts (scene, shapes, meshes, materials), advanced features (GLB file import, camera/lighting choices, environment maps, user controls, postprocessing), and accessibility considerations. It demonstrates using natural language prompts to create interactive 3D elements within web projects.
  2. Building an interactive 3D event badge with React Three FiberThis post details the implementation of an interactive 3D event badge using React Three Fiber, Drei, and react-three-rapier. It covers setting up the Canvas with a Physics provider, defining a Band component with physics joints (RigidBody, BallCollider, CuboidCollider) and rope joints (useRopeJoint), creating a Catmull Rom curve to animate the band, and implementing a draggable Card component with a spherical joint (useSphericalJoint) and kinematic control. The post provides concrete code examples and explains the declarative approach to building 3D physics simulations in React.
  3. Build an interactive WebGL experience with Next.jsThis post introduces the use of react-three-fiber and drei for building interactive WebGL experiences within Next.js. It provides a basic example of creating 3D objects with React components and demonstrates a more advanced prototype with a light beam that reflects off of 2D objects, showcasing the use of instanced meshes for rendering streaks and glow effects. The post also highlights the performance benefits of react-three-fiber over raw three.js at scale.
