Sourced community and engineering questions, plus verified failures and contracts
These answers combine sourced community and engineering questions with verified local failures and repository contracts. Each answer names its provenance, supporting evidence, and limits. Community questions are not customer evidence, and local failures or contracts are not attributed to a user.
Which Three.js version does the skill pack support?
The current pack is verified against Three.js 0.185.1, whose runtime revision is 185. Treat that as the supported target, not as a promise that every later release is compatible. Check both the installed package version and THREE.REVISION before using revision-specific API guidance. If either differs, pin or upgrade the project deliberately, then rerun the relevant examples and evidence checks.
Does the Three.js skill pack work with React Three Fiber?
Partly, but it is not a drop-in React Three Fiber pack. The rendering skills can inform Three.js, WebGPURenderer, TSL, material, image-pipeline, and validation decisions that still exist beneath R3F. R3F-specific renderer creation, React lifecycle, frame scheduling, state, events, Drei abstractions, and disposal remain outside this pack. Pin both Three.js and R3F, map each recommendation into the installed R3F API, and verify the result in the actual application.
How do I verify the native WebGPU backend?
Initialize the renderer, then check renderer.backend.isWebGPUBackend === true. renderer.isWebGPURenderer only identifies the universal renderer class; it does not prove which backend was selected, because WebGPURenderer can fall back to WebGL 2. Record THREE.REVISION, the backend flag, compatibilityMode, output buffer type, and device limits. If the backend flag is false, classify the run as fallback or blocked and do not publish native WebGPU claims.
Is the Three.js skill pack free for commercial use?
Yes. Repository-authored work is licensed under the root ISC license, which permits use, copying, modification, and distribution for any purpose, with or without fee, when copies retain its copyright and permission notice. The repository also incorporates Object Sculptor material with its own MIT notice, which must remain with affected copies. Assets, third-party dependencies, agent runtime, hosting, and support may have separate terms or costs. This is a reading of the published files, not legal advice.
Why does my WebGPU PNG have striped rows?
Usually, padded GPU rows are being encoded as tightly packed pixels. WebGPU texture-to-buffer copies use a bytesPerRow aligned to 256 bytes, while a PNG encoder expects width times bytesPerPixel bytes per row. Carry the actual integer stride through capture, then copy only the logical pixels from each row into a compact buffer before encoding. Do not infer stride from total buffer length divided by height.
Why does my TSL post-processing look double tone-mapped?
Your final color is probably being transformed twice. In a TSL RenderPipeline, assign exactly one tone-map owner and one output-color conversion owner. If outputNode already calls renderOutput(...), set renderPipeline.outputColorTransform = false, then set renderPipeline.needsUpdate = true. If the pipeline owns automatic output conversion, do not add explicit renderOutput(). Also verify the LUT domain: a tone-mapped-linear LUT belongs after toneMapping() and before output conversion.
How provenance works here
Each long-form answer owns one exact question and carries its own source type, source references, first-observed date, last-observed date, canonical route, and evidence status. This hub deliberately does not pretend that six differently sourced questions share one provenance type. Its visible answers are the same summary text used by the standalone pages and their machine-readable Question entities.
The Guides hub organizes broader decisions. The documentation hub owns operating instructions, the migration hub owns transition procedures, and pricing separates the free license from real project costs.
