How to Create Shader Transitions with React Three Fiber and Lygia (PART 2)
Overview
Transitions between 3D scenes can add a seamless and immersive effect to web experiences. In this tutorial, we’ll explore how to use Three.js, React Three Fiber, and the Lygia library to create stunning shader-based transitions.
Enhancing 3D Experiences with Seamless Transitions
As web experiences become more dynamic, smooth transitions between 3D scenes help maintain engagement and improve visual flow. Instead of abrupt scene changes, incorporating shader transitions can create cinematic effects that elevate your project.
Imagine working on a 3D portfolio, an interactive storytelling project, or a virtual store. Instead of cutting between scenes, you can implement beautiful fade, displacement, or patterned transitions to make your experience feel polished and professional.
