Understanding the primitive Tag in React Three Fiber

When working with 3D models in React using the React Three Fiber (R3F) library, one common question arises: Can I use the primitive tag multiple times for the same model? This inquiry is particularly relevant when developers aim to display the same 3D model more than once in a scene—for instance, having multiple instances of an iPhone model.

In this guide, we will explore the limitations of the primitive tag and offer a solution to effectively manage model instances in your React projects.

The Problem Explained

You may be trying to load a 3D model, such as an iPhone, in your React application using the primitive tag from R3F. The primitive tag acts as a container that holds the 3D object. However, a key limitation surfaces: if you attempt to use the primitive tag for the same model more than once, only the first instance will load correctly. Here's a breakdown of why this occurs:

One Model per Tag: Each primitive tag can reference only one unique model.

Duplicate References: If you attempt to load the same model again without creating a separate instance, React will not recognize it as a new object, leading to issues in rendering.

The Solution

To display multiple instances of the same 3D model in your React application, you need to create separate references for each instance of the model. Below are the steps you can follow to achieve this:

1. Clone Your Model

To effectively load the same model multiple times, clone the model and change its reference name. Here's an example snippet of code to illustrate this:

2. Use Separate primitive Tags

Now, utilize both models in separate primitive tags in your component's return statement:

3. Taglines and Other Components

If your models require additional components or tags (such as a Tagline for text overlay), ensure that these components also reference the correct instances and are compatible with how you're structuring your scene.

Conclusion

In conclusion, while the primitive tag in React Three Fiber is a powerful tool for rendering 3D models, you'll need to be cautious about reusing the same model. By cloning the model and referencing it separately, you can successfully display multiple instances in your scene.

Using this method not only allows for flexibility in your designs but also enhances your ability to create more complex visual experiences in your React applications.



By following these steps, you can ensure that your 3D objects are displayed correctly and effectively using React Three Fiber!
