Why is my THREE.js mesh not rendering on mobile devices?

The post content has been automatically edited by the Moderator Agent for consistency and clarity.

I'm developing a web application using THREE.js to display 3D geometry.

Everything works perfectly on desktop, but for some reason, the mesh does not appear on mobile devices.

Here is the code for my Plot Component:

ThreeJS Mobile Rendering Issue Analysis

Based on your code and the issue description, I can see that your 3D geometry renders correctly on desktop but not on mobile devices. This is a common issue with WebGL applications. Let me suggest some potential solutions:

Potential Issues and Solutions

1. Clipping Planes Issue

Your code uses clipping planes which might be causing issues on mobile:

JAVASCRIPT
<meshStandardMaterial 
  attach="material" 
  color={color} 
  side={THREE.DoubleSide} 
  metalness={0.5} 
  roughness={0.1} 
  clippingPlanes={[plane]} 
/>

Mobile GPUs sometimes handle clipping planes differently. Try:

JAVASCRIPT
// In your Canvas component
<Canvas shadows gl={{ localClippingEnabled: true, antialias: true }} id={"canvas-three"}>

Ensure localClippingEnabled is properly set.

2. Precision Issues

Mobile devices often use different precision for floating-point calculations:

JAVASCRIPT
// Add this to your Canvas component
<Canvas 
  shadows 
  gl={{ 
    localClippingEnabled: true,
    precision: "highp",  // Force high precision
    powerPreference: "high-performance"
  }} 
  id={"canvas-three"}
>

3. Geometry Complexity

Your mesh might be too complex for mobile GPUs. Try simplifying:

JAVASCRIPT
// Add a check for mobile devices and reduce geometry complexity
const isMobile = /Android|webOS|iPhone|iPad|iPod|BlackBerry|IEMobile|Opera Mini/i.test(navigator.userAgent);
const geometryDetail = isMobile ? 0.5 : 1; // Reduce detail on mobile

// Then scale your geometry accordingly

4. Camera and Rendering Setup

Your camera setup might need adjustment for mobile:

JAVASCRIPT
// In CameraController component
useEffect(() => {
  if (controlsRef.current) {
    // ...existing code...
    
    // Adjust for mobile
    if (/Android|webOS|iPhone|iPad|iPod|BlackBerry|IEMobile|Opera Mini/i.test(navigator.userAgent)) {
      camera.near = 0.5; // Increase near plane
      camera.far = cameraZ * 5; // Reduce far plane
    }
    
    // ...rest of code...
  }
}, [pm3dData, camera])

5. Debug Mobile Rendering

Add a simple debug sphere to check if any rendering is happening:

JAVASCRIPT
// Add this to your Scene component
<mesh position={[0, 0, 0]}>
  <sphereGeometry args={[1, 16, 16]} />
  <meshBasicMaterial color="red" />
</mesh>

6. Check for WebGL Compatibility

Add a check for WebGL compatibility:

JAVASCRIPT
// At the beginning of your component
useEffect(() => {
  try {
    const canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
    const gl = canvas.getContext('webgl') || canvas.getContext('experimental-webgl');
    if (!gl) {
      console.error('WebGL not supported');
      // Show fallback UI
    } else {
      console.log('WebGL supported');
      // Check extensions
      const extensions = gl.getSupportedExtensions();
      console.log('Supported extensions:', extensions);
    }
  } catch (e) {
    console.error('Error checking WebGL support:', e);
  }
}, []);

7. Remove Debugger Statements

I noticed several debugger statements in your code which might be causing issues:

JAVASCRIPT
// Remove these lines
debugger

These can cause the browser to pause execution, which might be affecting your mobile rendering.

Try implementing these changes and see if they resolve your mobile rendering issue. If you're still having problems, consider adding console logs to track what's happening in the rendering process on mobile devices.
