use-r3f-assets v0.1.1

🧰 use-r3f-assets

A set of hooks for quick prototyping in react-three-fiber.

yarn add use-r3f-assets

How it works

The assets are hosted on github and served using githack.com. When you are ready to go live, remember to donwload the assets and host them yourself!

🛠️ useNormalTexture

Loads normal textures from this repository: https://github.com/emmelleppi/normal-maps

const [normalMap, url] = useNormalTexture(
  1, // index of the normal texture - https://github.com/emmelleppi/normal-maps/blob/master/normals.json
  // second argument is texture attributes 
  { 
    offset: [0, 0], 
    repeat: [normRepeat, normRepeat], 
    anisotropy: 8
  }
)

return (
  ...
  <meshStandardMaterial normalMap={normalMap} />
  ...
)

⚒️ useMatcapTexture

Loads matcap textures from this repository: https://github.com/emmelleppi/matcaps

const [matcap, url] = useMatcapTexture(
 0, // index of the matcap texture https://github.com/emmelleppi/matcaps/blob/master/matcap-list.json
 1024 // size of the texture ( 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024 ) 
)

return (
 ...
 <meshMatcapMaterial matcap={matcap} />
 ...
)

👉 You can also use the exact name of the matcap texture, like so:

const [matcap] = useMatcapTexture("3E2335_D36A1B_8E4A2E_2842A5")

👉 Use the url to download the texture when you are ready for production!
