## Model Types Overview
The project provides three main types of model instantiation:
| Type | Component | Use Case |
| ----------- | -------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| Static | `SimpleModel` | Props, decoration, objects without animation |
| Animated | `AnimatedModel` | Characters, animated objects with skeleton |
| Interactive | `GrabbableObject`, `TriggerObject`, `InteractableObject` | Objects player can interact with |
---
## SimpleModel - Static Models
Use for GLTF models **without** skeleton/armature and no animations.
```tsx
import { SimpleModel } from "@/components/3d";
<SimpleModel
modelPath="/models/elecsimple/model.gltf"
position={[0, 0, -5]}
rotation={[0, 45, 0]}
scale={1}
castShadow={true}
receiveShadow={true}
/>;
```
### Props
| Prop | Type | Default | Description |
| --------------- | ------------------------ | ----------- | --------------------------------- |
| `modelPath` | `string` | required | Path to GLTF file in `/public` |
| `position` | `Vector3Tuple` | `[0, 0, 0]` | World position [x, y, z] |
| `rotation` | `Vector3Tuple` | `[0, 0, 0]` | Rotation in degrees [x, y, z] |
| `scale` | `number \| Vector3Tuple` | `1` | Scale factor or [x, y, z] |
| `castShadow` | `boolean` | `true` | Enable shadow casting |
| `receiveShadow` | `boolean` | `true` | Enable shadow receiving |
| `children` | `ReactNode` | - | Child components to render inside |
---
## AnimatedModel - Animated Models
Use for GLTF models **with** skeleton/armature and animations (like Mixamo characters).
```tsx
import { AnimatedModel, useAnimatedModel } from "@/components/3d";
// Basic usage
<AnimatedModel
modelPath="/models/elec/model.gltf"
defaultAnimation="Idle"
position={[0, 0, -5]}
rotation={[0, 0, 0]}
scale={0.01}
autoPlay={true}
speed={1}
fadeDuration={0.3}
/>;
```
### Props
| Prop | Type | Default | Description |
| ------------------ | ------------------------ | ----------- | --------------------------------------------- |
| `modelPath` | `string` | required | Path to GLTF file in `/public` |
| `defaultAnimation` | `string` | `"Idle"` | Animation name to play by default |
| `animations` | `string[]` | `[]` | List of animation names (optional) |
| `position` | `Vector3Tuple` | `[0, 0, 0]` | World position [x, y, z] |
| `rotation` | `Vector3Tuple` | `[0, 0, 0]` | Rotation in degrees [x, y, z] |
| `scale` | `number \| Vector3Tuple` | `1` | Scale factor |
| `autoPlay` | `boolean` | `true` | Auto-play default animation |
| `speed` | `number` | `1` | Animation playback speed |
| `fadeDuration` | `number` | `0.3` | Transition duration in seconds |
| `onLoaded` | `() => void` | - | Callback when model loads |
| `onAnimationEnd` | `(name: string) => void` | - | Callback when animation ends |
| `children` | `ReactNode` | - | Child components (can use `useAnimatedModel`) |
### Important: Scale
Animated models (like Mixamo exports) often need a small scale (e.g., `0.01`) because they are exported in meters while Three.js uses different units. Adjust until the model appears at the right size.
---
## Animation Control
To control animations from inside or outside the `AnimatedModel`, use the `useAnimatedModel` hook.
### Basic Control
```tsx
import { AnimatedModel, useAnimatedModel } from "@/components/3d";
// Create a controller component to use inside AnimatedModel
function AnimationController() {
const { play, stop, fadeTo, currentAnimation, names, setSpeed, isReady } =
useAnimatedModel();
// names contains all available animation names
// currentAnimation is the name of the currently playing animation
// isReady is true when model and animations are loaded
return (
<mesh onClick={() => play("Run", 0.5)}>
<boxGeometry />
</mesh>
);
}
// Usage
<AnimatedModel
modelPath="/models/elec/model.gltf"
defaultAnimation="Idle"
position={[0, 0, -5]}
scale={0.01}
>
<AnimationController />
</AnimatedModel>;
```
### Available Methods
| Method | Signature | Description |
| ------------------ | --------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------ |
| `play` | `(name: string, fade?: number) => void` | Play animation with optional fade |
| `fadeTo` | `(name: string, fade?: number) => void` | Fade to another animation |
| `stop` | `(fade?: number) => void` | Stop and return to default animation |
| `setSpeed` | `(speed: number) => void` | Set animation speed |
| `currentAnimation` | `string` | Current animation name (getter) |
| `names` | `string[]` | Available animation names |
| `isReady` | `boolean` | Whether model is loaded |
### Transition Example
```tsx
function Character() {
const { play, fadeTo, currentAnimation } = useAnimatedModel();
const handleWalk = () => fadeTo("Walk", 0.5); // 0.5s fade
const handleRun = () => play("Run", 0.3); // 0.3s fade
const handleIdle = () => play("Idle", 0.5); // return to idle
return (
<group>
<mesh onClick={handleWalk} position={[-1, 0, 0]}>
<boxGeometry />
</mesh>
<mesh onClick={handleRun} position={[0, 0, 0]}>
<boxGeometry />
</mesh>
<mesh onClick={handleIdle} position={[1, 0, 0]}>
<boxGeometry />
</mesh>
</group>
);
}
```
### Combined: GrabbableObject with Animation
You can combine `AnimatedModel` inside `GrabbableObject` to create animated objects that can be picked up:
```tsx
import { AnimatedModel, GrabbableObject } from "@/components/3d";
// Animated weapon/tool that player can pick up
<GrabbableObject position={[0, 1, 0]} colliders="cuboid">
<AnimatedModel
modelPath="/models/sword/model.gltf"
defaultAnimation="Idle"
position={[0, 0, 0]}
scale={0.02}
autoPlay={true}
/>
</GrabbableObject>;
```
Or create an animated character that can be grabbed:
```tsx
import {
AnimatedModel,
GrabbableObject,
useAnimatedModel,
} from "@/components/3d";
// Controller that triggers animations when grabbed
function AnimatedGrabber() {
const { play, fadeTo } = useAnimatedModel();
return (
<AnimatedModel
modelPath="/models/elec/model.gltf"
defaultAnimation="Idle"
position={[0, 0, 0]}
scale={0.01}
autoPlay={true}
/>
);
}
// When grabbed, play "Grab" animation
<GrabbableObject
position={[0, 1, 0]}
colliders="cuboid"
onGrab={() => {
// This would require a context or store to trigger
console.log("Object grabbed!");
}}
>
<AnimatedGrabber />
</GrabbableObject>;
```
**Note:** For complex interactions (like playing specific animations when grabbing), you'll need to connect the grab events to animation controls via a state manager or context.

## Other 3D Components
### GrabbableObject
Objects that can be picked up by the player.
```tsx
import { GrabbableObject } from "@/components/3d";
<GrabbableObject position={[0, 1, 0]} colliders="cuboid">
<mesh>
<boxGeometry args={[0.5, 0.5, 0.5]} />
<meshStandardMaterial color="red" />
</mesh>
</GrabbableObject>;
```
### TriggerObject
Objects that trigger events when interacted with.
```tsx
import { TriggerObject } from "@/components/3d";
<TriggerObject
position={[0, 1, 0]}
soundPath="/sounds/click.mp3"
onTrigger={() => console.log("Triggered!")}
>
<mesh>
<sphereGeometry />
<meshStandardMaterial color="blue" />
</mesh>
</TriggerObject>;
```
### InteractableObject
Base object for interactions.
```tsx
import { InteractableObject } from "@/components/3d";
<InteractableObject
position={[0, 1, 0]}
onInteract={() => console.log("Interacted!")}
>
<mesh>
<cylinderGeometry />
<meshStandardMaterial color="green" />
</mesh>
</InteractableObject>;
```

## Technical Notes
### GLTF Models
- Models should be placed in `/public/models/`
- Supported formats: `.gltf`, `.glb`
- Animated models must have an Armature/skeleton for animations to work
### Model Scale Issue
If animated models don't appear, they may be too small or too large. Try:
- Scale `0.01` for Mixamo-exported models
- Scale `1` for models in correct units
### Cloning
- `SimpleModel` uses `scene.clone()` for proper React lifecycle
- `AnimatedModel` uses the original scene directly to preserve SkinnedMesh + Armature structure
### Animation System
The animation system uses:
- `@react-three/drei`: `useGLTF` for loading, `useAnimations` for animation control
- Three.js: `AnimationMixer` for playback
### No State Machine
This system intentionally avoids complex state machines (like Unity's Animator). For simple animation transitions, use the `play`, `fadeTo`, and `stop` methods directly.
