Building an interactive 3D event badge with React Three Fiber

This 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.
