In this course, we will explore creating a beautiful configurator using React Three Fiber. We will see how I make my designs for applications, we will understand how to optimize the model in Blender and export it to use in the experiment.

Then we’ll dive into react three fiber and implement the whole project, from a simple scene to load the model, creating the color variations, covering state management concepts, and using Framer Motion to animate the interface.

This course is suitable for people familiar with the React Environment and the use of online code tools.

See you soon.
How does this course works?0:35
Because this is a react three-fiber configurator course, we will focus more on the configurator. So, I will be sharing a link containing the source code for each class, under the RESOURCES for each class. You can use the video as a guide through each lesson and look at the codes provided to create your project. Or you can follow the instructions in the video and code along with me as you go. You choose the best way and format you like to learn the most.

If you have difficulty accessing the code sandbox links provided here, you can also download the files for each class and use your preferred code editor to load the files and run the "npm install" command in the class folder to run the code.
I hope you enjoy this course and that it is helpful for you.
[ IMPORTANT ] Recent Updates to Environment Component0:19

Environment setup using CodeSandBox5:09
Learn to set up an online CodeSandbox project for React—no npm install required—connect to GitHub, select a quick start template, and initialize a canvas-based React three fiber scene.
Creating the basic React Three Fiber Scene13:07
Load the blender Model12:04
Load the blender-exported model with gltf, integrate it in a React Three Fiber scene, preload the file, and configure ambient light, environment, and accumulative shadows.
Make the model follows the mouse position10:48
Build a camera rig that makes the scene follow the mouse by moving a group with pointer-driven rotation. Apply useFrame, refs, and a math library for easing and damping.
Create the Intro overlay14:33
Create the intro overlay for the React Three.js fiber configurator by building an overlay and intro component, wiring it to the canvas with absolute positioning and z-index styling.
Create the Customizer overlay10:15
Implementing Valtio for state management9:18
Implementing the colors configurator9:15
Implement a colors configurator that updates the selected color via button clicks, applying it to the t-shirt material and background with smooth transitions using three.js color and useFrame.
Implementing the decals selector8:10
Implement a decals selector by loading textures with useTexture, applying a texture map to a t-shirt mesh, and letting users switch textures via a store with preloading.
Download button and Mobile adjustments6:02
Enable downloading a canvas texture by enabling the preserve drawing buffer and constructing a dynamic download link. Adapt the interface for mobile using CSS media queries to reposition color options.
Animate the interface with framer motion14:39
Conclusion1:35
Extend the React Three Fiber configurator by changing the model, colors, and decode-related sticker variations, and share your creations on Twitter using the three configurator hashtag.

Requirements

Prior knowledge of React is required and also in using online code tools like Code Sandbox. This is not a basic React Three Fiber course, so it is important that you are already familiar with the library before enrolling. Knowledge of building tools is also recommended.

Description

This course will explore creating a beautiful configurator using Three.js and React Three Fiber. We will see how I make my designs for applications, I will understand how to optimize the model in Blender and export it to use in the experiment. Next, let's dive into react three fiber and implement the entire project, from a simple scene to load the model, creating the color variations, covering state management concepts, and using Framer Motion to animate the interface.

This is a dynamic course and very focused on the final product. You can find the link to the final project in the introductory class or on my Twitter profile.

Each class has a link to resources that contain the source code for the specific lesson. That way, you can use the video as a guide through each lesson and see the codes provided to build your project. Or you can follow the instructions in the video and code along with me as you go. You choose the best way and format that you like to learn the most.

This course is suitable for people familiar with the React Environment, who already know a bit about React Three Fiber, and who have prior knowledge of using online code tools like CodeSandBox.

Who this course is for:

For those who already know Threejs or React Three Fiber and want to learn how to create and manipulate the interface of their applications using React Three Fiber together with Valtio and Framer Motion
