import { OrbitControls, Box, Sphere } from '@react-three/drei'
export function Scene3D() {
return (
<Canvas camera={{ position: [5, 5, 5], fov: 50 }}>
{/* Lighting */}
<ambientLight intensity={0.5} />
<pointLight position={[10, 10, 10]} />
{/* 3D Objects */}
<Box position={[-2, 0, 0]} args={[1, 1, 1]}>
<meshStandardMaterial color="hotpink" />
</Box>
<Sphere position={[2, 0, 0]} args={[0.7, 32, 32]}>
<meshStandardMaterial color="cyan" metalness={0.8} roughness={0.2} />
</Sphere>
{/* Camera Controls */}
<OrbitControls />
</Canvas>
)
}
3D Model Loader
'use client'
import { useGLTF } from '@react-three/drei'
import { Canvas } from '@react-three/fiber'
function Model() {
const { scene } = useGLTF('/models/product.glb')
return <primitive object={scene} />
}
export function ProductViewer() {
return (
<Canvas>
<ambientLight intensity={0.5} />
<spotLight position={[10, 10, 10]} angle={0.15} />
<Model />
<OrbitControls
enableZoom={true}
enablePan={false}
minPolarAngle={Math.PI / 4}
maxPolarAngle={Math.PI / 2}

useFrame((state, delta) => {
if (meshRef.current) {
meshRef.current.rotation.x += delta
meshRef.current.rotation.y += delta * 0.5
}
})
return (
<mesh ref={meshRef}>
<boxGeometry args={[2, 2, 2]} />

}) {
return (
<group position={position}>
<mesh position={[0, height / 2, 0]}>

Performance Tips
Instanced Mesh (Many Objects)
'use client'
import { useRef, useMemo } from 'react'
import { useFrame } from '@react-three/fiber'
import * as THREE from 'three'
export function Particles({ count = 1000 }: { count?: number }) {
const meshRef = useRef<THREE.InstancedMesh>(null)
const particles = useMemo(() => {
const temp = []
for (let i = 0; i < count; i++) {
const t = Math.random() * 100
const factor = 20 + Math.random() * 100
const speed = 0.01 + Math.random() / 200
temp.push({ t, factor, speed, mx: 0, my: 0 })
}
return temp
}, [count])
useFrame((state) => {
if (meshRef.current) {
particles.forEach((particle, i) => {
let { t, factor, speed, mx, my } = particle
t = particle.t += speed
const a = Math.cos(t) + Math.sin(t * 1) / 10
const b = Math.sin(t) + Math.cos(t * 2) / 10
const s = Math.cos(t)
const dummy = new THREE.Object3D()
dummy.position.set(
(mx / 10) * a + Math.cos((t / 10) * factor) + (Math.sin(t * 1) * factor) / 10,
(my / 10) * b + Math.sin((t / 10) * factor) + (Math.cos(t * 2) * factor) / 10,
(my / 10) * b + Math.cos((t / 10) * factor) + (Math.sin(t * 3) * factor) / 10
)
dummy.scale.set(s, s, s)
dummy.updateMatrix()
meshRef.current!.setMatrixAt(i, dummy.matrix)
})
meshRef.current.instanceMatrix.needsUpdate = true
}
})
return (
<instancedMesh ref={meshRef} args={[undefined, undefined, count]}>
<sphereGeometry args={[0.05, 16, 16]} />
<meshPhongMaterial color="cyan" />
</instancedMesh>
)
}
