The Future is 3D: Integrating Three.js in Next.js
The web is evolving from a 2D medium to a 3D one. With libraries like Three.js and its React renderer, React Three Fiber, it's easier than ever to integrate immersive 3D experiences into your web applications. This site is a testament to that, using Three.js to create the background animations you see.
Getting Started with React Three Fiber
React Three Fiber (R3F) allows you to build your Three.js scene declaratively with reusable, self-contained components that react to state. It's a powerful paradigm that simplifies 3D development in React.
import { Canvas } from '@react-three/fiber'
function App() {
return (
<Canvas>
<ambientLight />
<pointLight position={[10, 10, 10]} />
<mesh>
<boxGeometry />
<meshStandardMaterial color="hotpink" />
</mesh>
</Canvas>
)
}
With just a few lines of code, you can have a 3D scene running in your Next.js application. The possibilities are endless, from simple product viewers to complex, interactive games.
