I created a low poly water animation using three.js and react-three-fiber. The animation begins to play when my webpage is loaded but as you start to scroll down to view the other content on my webpage, my animation resets and begins to start again.
PolyWater is just a component I created to make the low poly water using vertices.
The SeaScene is exported to a Home component that merges the rest of my components together.
My Home component is being Rendered in the App.js file in react using Router
SeaScene.js
import React, {useRef} from 'react'
import {Canvas, extend, useFrame, useThree} from "react-three-fiber"
import {OrbitControls} from "three/examples/jsm/controls/OrbitControls"
import PolyWater from "./PolyWater/PolyWater";
import './SeaScene.css'
extend({OrbitControls})
const Controls = () => {
const orbitRef = useRef();
const {camera, gl} = useThree();
useFrame(() => {
orbitRef.current.update()
camera.position.set(25, 12.5, -20)
camera.rotation.set(-1.5, 0, 0)
})
return (
<orbitControls
args={[camera, gl.domElement]}
ref={orbitRef}
/>
)
}
const SeaScene = () => {
return (
<section id="home" className="home-section">
<Canvas>
<ambientLight intensity={0.2}/>
<directionalLight color={0xffffff} position={[0, 50, 30]}/>
<Controls/>
<PolyWater/>
</Canvas>
</section>
)
}
Home.js
class Home extends Component {
render() {
return (
<div>
<SeaScene/>
<About/>
<Work/>
<Footer/>
</div>
);
}
}
App.js
class App extends Component {
render() {
return (
<Router>
<div>
<section>
<NavBar/>
<Switch>
<Route exact path='/' component={Home}/>
</Switch>
</section>
</div>
</Router>
);
};
}
