This project is a boilerplate for creating 3D web applications using React Three Fiber, a powerful library that brings the power of Three.js to React. Whether you're a seasoned developer or just starting out, this template provides a solid foundation to build upon.

• React Three Fiber: Leverage the power of Three.js within the React ecosystem.
• @react-three/drei: A collection of useful helpers and abstractions for R3F.
• @react-three/rapier: Physics engine integration for realistic simulations.
• Express Server: Serve your application with a simple Express server.
• Vite: Fast and modern build tool for blazing fast development.
