Three.js asset loading - GLTF, textures, images, models, async patterns. Use when loading 3D models, textures, HDR environments, or managing loading progress.

Three.js Loaders Quick Start LoadingManager Coordinate multiple loaders and track progress. Texture Loading TextureLoader Texture Configuration CubeTextureLoader For environment maps and skyboxes. HDR/EXR Loading PMREMGenerator Generate prefiltered environment maps for PBR. GLTF/GLB Loading The most common 3D format for web. GLTF with Draco Compression GLTF with KTX2 Textures Process GLTF Content Other Model Formats OBJ + MTL FBX STL PLY Async/Promise Loading Promisified Loader Load Multiple Assets Caching Built in Cache Custom Asset Manager Loading from Different Sources Data URL / Base64 Blob URL ArrayBuffer Custom Path/URL Error Handling Performance Tips 1. Use compressed formats : DRACO for geometry, KTX2/Basis for textures 2. Load progressively : Show placeholders while loading 3. Lazy load : Only load what's needed 4. Use CDN : Faster asset delivery 5. Enable cache : THREE.Cache.enabled = true See Also threejs textures Texture configuration threejs animation Playing loaded animations threejs materials Material from loaded models
