React Three Fiber Materials

Quick Start

import { Canvas } from '@react-three/fiber'

function Scene() {
  return (
    <Canvas>
      <ambientLight intensity={0.5} />
      <directionalLight position={[5, 5, 5]} />

      <mesh>
        <boxGeometry />
        <meshStandardMaterial
          color="hotpink"
          roughness={0.5}
          metalness={0.5}
        />
      </mesh>
    </Canvas>
  )
}

Dynamic Materials

Updating Material Properties

import { useRef } from 'react'
import { useFrame } from '@react-three/fiber'

function AnimatedMaterial() {
  const materialRef = useRef()

  useFrame(({ clock }) => {
    const t = clock.elapsedTime

    // Update color
    materialRef.current.color.setHSL((t * 0.1) % 1, 1, 0.5)

    // Update properties
    materialRef.current.roughness = (Math.sin(t) + 1) / 2
  })

  return (
    <mesh>
      <boxGeometry />
      <meshStandardMaterial ref={materialRef} />
    </mesh>
  )
}

Shared Materials

import { useMemo } from 'react'
import * as THREE from 'three'

function SharedMaterial() {
  // Create once, use many times
  const material = useMemo(() =>
    new THREE.MeshStandardMaterial({ color: 'red' }),
  [])

  return (
    <>
      <mesh position={[-2, 0, 0]} material={material}>
        <boxGeometry />
      </mesh>
      <mesh position={[0, 0, 0]} material={material}>
        <sphereGeometry />
      </mesh>
      <mesh position={[2, 0, 0]} material={material}>
        <coneGeometry />
      </mesh>
    </>
  )
}

Multiple Materials

// Different materials per face (BoxGeometry has 6 material groups)
<mesh>
  <boxGeometry />
  <meshStandardMaterial attach="material-0" color="red" />   {/* +X */}
  <meshStandardMaterial attach="material-1" color="green" /> {/* -X */}
  <meshStandardMaterial attach="material-2" color="blue" />  {/* +Y */}
  <meshStandardMaterial attach="material-3" color="yellow" />{/* -Y */}
  <meshStandardMaterial attach="material-4" color="cyan" />  {/* +Z */}
  <meshStandardMaterial attach="material-5" color="magenta" />{/* -Z */}
</mesh>

Material with Textures

import { useTexture } from '@react-three/drei'
import * as THREE from 'three'

function TexturedMaterial() {
  // Named object pattern (recommended)
  const textures = useTexture({
    map: '/textures/color.jpg',
    normalMap: '/textures/normal.jpg',
    roughnessMap: '/textures/roughness.jpg',
  })

  // Set texture properties
  Object.values(textures).forEach(texture => {
    texture.wrapS = texture.wrapT = THREE.RepeatWrapping
    texture.repeat.set(2, 2)
  })

  return (
    <mesh>
      <planeGeometry args={[5, 5]} />
      <meshStandardMaterial {...textures} />
    </mesh>
  )
}

Emissive Materials (Glow)

// For bloom effect, emissive colors should exceed normal range
<meshStandardMaterial
  color="black"
  emissive="#ff0000"
  emissiveIntensity={2}    // > 1 for bloom
  toneMapped={false}       // Required for colors > 1
/>

// With emissive map
<meshStandardMaterial
  emissive="white"
  emissiveMap={emissiveTexture}
  emissiveIntensity={2}
  toneMapped={false}
/>

Environment Maps

import { useEnvironment } from '@react-three/drei'

function EnvMappedMaterial() {
  const envMap = useEnvironment({ preset: 'sunset' })

  return (
    <mesh>
      <sphereGeometry args={[1, 64, 64]} />
      <meshStandardMaterial
        metalness={1}
        roughness={0}
        envMap={envMap}
        envMapIntensity={1}
      />
    </mesh>
  )
}

Custom Shader Materials

See r3f-shaders for detailed shader material usage.

import { shaderMaterial } from '@react-three/drei'
import { extend } from '@react-three/fiber'

const CustomMaterial = shaderMaterial(
  { time: 0, color: new THREE.Color('hotpink') },
  // Vertex shader
  `
    varying vec2 vUv;
    void main() {
      vUv = uv;
      gl_Position = projectionMatrix * modelViewMatrix * vec4(position, 1.0);
    }
  `,
  // Fragment shader
  `
    uniform float time;
    uniform vec3 color;
    varying vec2 vUv;
    void main() {
      gl_FragColor = vec4(color * (sin(time + vUv.x * 10.0) * 0.5 + 0.5), 1.0);
    }
  `
)

extend({ CustomMaterial })

function CustomShaderMesh() {
  const materialRef = useRef()

  useFrame(({ clock }) => {
    materialRef.current.time = clock.elapsedTime
  })

  return (
    <mesh>
      <boxGeometry />
      <customMaterial ref={materialRef} />
    </mesh>
  )
}

Performance Tips

1. Reuse materials: Same material instance = batched draw calls
2. Avoid transparent: Requires sorting, slower
3. Use alphaTest over transparent: When possible, faster
4. Simpler materials: Basic > Lambert > Phong > Standard > Physical
5. Limit texture sizes: 1024-2048 usually sufficient

// Material caching pattern
const materialCache = new Map()

function getCachedMaterial(color) {
  const key = color.toString()
  if (!materialCache.has(key)) {
    materialCache.set(key, new THREE.MeshStandardMaterial({ color }))
  }
  return materialCache.get(key)
}
