How do I fix z-fighting between overlapping materials?

You can use the polygonOffset properties (polygonOffset, polygonOffsetFactor, and polygonOffsetUnits) available on all materials to provide a depth offset.

Can I use this skill to write custom GLSL shaders?

Yes, this skill provides implementation patterns for both ShaderMaterial (which includes built-in Three.js uniforms) and RawShaderMaterial for complete shader control.

What is the difference between MeshPhongMaterial and MeshStandardMaterial?

MeshPhongMaterial uses the Blinn-Phong lighting model for shiny surfaces without being physically accurate, while MeshStandardMaterial uses PBR for more realistic, energy-conserving light behavior.

Which Three.js material is best for realistic rendering?

MeshStandardMaterial or MeshPhysicalMaterial are the recommended choices for Physically Based Rendering (PBR), as they accurately simulate how light interacts with real-world surfaces.

Configures and optimizes Three.js materials for high-quality 3D rendering and custom shader development.

About

This skill provides comprehensive guidance for working with Three.js materials, ranging from basic unlit surfaces to advanced Physically Based Rendering (PBR) and custom GLSL shaders. It streamlines the process of styling 3D meshes, applying complex textures like normal and environment maps, and implementing advanced effects like transmission, clearcoat, and iridescence. Whether you are building a simple 3D scene or a high-end web-based visualization, this skill ensures best practices for material performance, lighting interaction, and visual fidelity.
