Three.js in Next.js: SSR Challenges and Solutions

Three.js assumes a browser environment. Next.js renders on the server. Here's how to bridge the gap.

The Error

Solution 1: Dynamic Import with ssr: false

Solution 2: Client Component Boundary

Mark the entire Three.js tree as a client component with "use client" at the top. The component won't render on the server at all.

Which to Choose?

Dynamic import when: you want code splitting and loading states.

"use client" when: the component is always needed and you want simpler code.
