Three.js Model Loading

When to Use

Use this skill when:

• Loading 3D models from external files
• Implementing asset loading systems
• Optimizing model size for mobile
• Setting up progressive loading
• Managing model memory

Core Principles

1. GLTF Preferred: Use GLTF/GLB as primary format
2. Compression: Draco/MeshOpt for smaller files
3. Progressive Loading: Load low-res first, upgrade later
4. Asset Management: Cache and reuse loaded models
5. Error Handling: Graceful fallbacks for loading failures
6. Mobile Optimization: Reduce poly count and texture size
