This site personal site is in stark contrast to my previous personal site which now lives at https://3d.dement.dev I plan to update the 3D site and provide a choice to users whether they would prefer a simple 2D site or the 3D experience.

The soundbite was great lol!

Nice Work!

I've been working on this component library for a little over a week now, my aim with it is for people to be able to easily add touches of 3D into their React apps.

That’s actually sounds like such a fun feature to build.

Thanks so much! Going to play with adding in some constrained orbital controls, and add some other visual indicators to let visitors know how to interact with the site better.

Interesting! Likely because the 3D model for the photo on the 2D site is a larger model than any of the models in the 3D scene.

But what’s extra interesting about that is the 3D page is a vanilla React project while the 2D site is built with Astro SSG, and has all 90+ lighthouse scores.

This website was able to optimize your 24MB glb file to 2.4MB and the quality looks the same to me https://glb.babylonpress.org/

Nice find I’ll test this out! Did you make this?

Khronos has a glb optimizer here btw: https://github.com/KhronosGroup/glTF-Compressor

This tool is good too: https://meshoptimizer.org/gltf/

That’s a nice spin on using react three fiber!

Thanks! Going to work on some features to help with this soon! Something like a scroll indicator, pointer is also a great idea for clickable item! The arrow indicator idea I also like!

Thanks for the feedback! Planning on adding an indication to scroll, and some sort of effect for clickable items. Also planning to remove the boat/cage taking you to other page, it made sense in a previous version of the site.

If you have to add that indication then it's unintuitive? IMHO you should take the effort to stop making a 3D world scrollable. You've designed a 3D world but are sandboxing the experience to a typical 2D website.
