ZAxis - Minimal 3D Components Library

Overview

ZAxis is a minimal 3D components library built with React, Three.js, and TypeScript. It provides production-ready 3D UI components that can be seamlessly integrated into web applications.

Key Features

Production-Ready 3D Components

• Pre-built 3D buttons, cards, and loaders
• Optimized for performance and accessibility
• Easy to integrate into existing React projects

Real-Time Customization

• Adjust colors, geometry, and lighting on the fly
• Live preview of changes
• Interactive controls for fine-tuning

Code Export System

• Export component code for easy integration
• Customizable configurations
• Copy-paste ready code snippets

Tech Stack

• React - UI framework
• Three.js - 3D graphics library
• React Three Fiber - React renderer for Three.js
• TypeScript - Type safety and better developer experience

Technical Implementation

3D Rendering Optimization

• Implemented efficient rendering techniques to minimize performance overhead
• Used instancing and geometry merging for better performance
• Optimized material usage and texture loading
