How do I track loading progress for multiple assets?

You should use the Three.js LoadingManager to coordinate multiple loaders. It provides an onProgress callback that returns the loading percentage of all queued assets.

Does this skill support compressed textures and meshes?

Yes, it includes implementation patterns for KTX2 textures and Draco-compressed meshes, which significantly reduce file sizes and transmission times for 3D assets.

How should I handle HDR environment maps for realistic lighting?

Use the RGBELoader or EXRLoader provided in this skill, often paired with the PMREMGenerator to create prefiltered environment maps for accurate PBR reflections.

Can I use async/await with Three.js loaders?

Standard Three.js loaders use callbacks, but this skill provides specific patterns to promisify these loaders, allowing you to use modern async/await syntax for cleaner code.

What is the best format for 3D models in Three.js?

GLTF (or GLB) is the recommended format as it is specifically optimized for the web, supporting animations, PBR materials, and efficient compression.
