Nine material types covering unlit, PBR, custom shaders, and specialized rendering effects.
Works with
Includes basic, Lambert, Phong, and standard PBR materials with varying lighting complexity; MeshPhysicalMaterial adds advanced features like clearcoat, transmission, and iridescence for glass, car paint, and fabric effects
ShaderMaterial and RawShaderMaterial enable custom GLSL shaders with automatic or manual uniform/attribute management
Specialized materials for toon shading, normal debuggi

Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:
node --versionthreejs-materialsExecute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
Fetches threejs-materials from cloudai-x/threejs-skills and configures it for Cursor.
The CLI shows a list of agents. Use arrow keys and space to select Cursor:
Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:
Restart Cursor to activate threejs-materials. Access via /threejs-materials in your agent's command palette.
We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.
Skills execute code in your environment. Always review source, verify the publisher, and test in isolation before production.

import * as THREE from "three";
// PBR material (recommended for realistic rendering)
const material = new THREE.MeshStandardMaterial({
color: 0x00ff00,
roughness: 0.5,
metalness: 0.5,
});
const mesh = new THREE.Mesh(geometry, material);
| Material | Use Case | Lighting |
|---|---|---|
| MeshBasicMaterial | Unlit, flat colors, wireframes | No |
| MeshLambertMaterial | Matte surfaces, performance | Yes (diffuse only) |
| MeshPhongMaterial | Shiny surfaces, specular highlights | Yes |
| MeshStandardMaterial | PBR, realistic materials | Yes (PBR) |
| MeshPhysicalMaterial | Advanced PBR, clearcoat, transmission | Yes (PBR+) |
| MeshToonMaterial | Cel-shaded, cartoon look | Yes (toon) |
| MeshNormalMaterial | Debug normals | No |
| MeshDepthMaterial | Depth visualization | No |
| ShaderMaterial | Custom GLSL shaders | Custom |
| RawShaderMaterial | Full shader control | Custom |
No lighting calculations. Fast, always visible.
const material = new THREE.MeshBasicMaterial({
color: 0xff0000,
transparent: true,
opacity: 0.5,
side: THREE.DoubleSide, // FrontSide, BackSide, DoubleSide
wireframe: false,
map: texture, // Color/diffuse texture
alphaMap: alphaTexture, // Transparency texture
envMap: envTexture, // Reflection texture
reflectivity: 1, // Env map intensity
fog: true, // Affected by scene fog
});
Diffuse-only lighting. Fast, no specular highlights.
const material = new THREE.MeshLambertMaterial({
color: 0x00ff00,
emissive: 0x111111, // Self-illumination color
emissiveIntensity: 1,
map: texture,
emissiveMap: emissiveTexture,
envMap: envTexture,
reflectivity: 0.5,
});
Specular highlights. Good for shiny, plastic-like surfaces.
const material = new THREE.MeshPhongMaterial({
color: 0x0000ff,
specular: 0xffffff, // Highlight color
shininess: 100, // Highlight sharpness (0-1000)
emissive: 0x000000,
flatShading: false, // Flat vs smooth shading
map: texture,
specularMap: specTexture, // Per-pixel shininess
normalMap: normalTexture,
normalScale: new THREE.Vector2(1, 1),
bumpMap: bumpTexture,
bumpScale: 1,
displacementMap: dispTexture,
displacementScale: 1,
});
Physically-based rendering. Recommended for realistic results.
const material = new THREE.MeshStandardMaterial({
color: 0xffffff,
roughness: 0.5, // 0 = mirror, 1 = diffuse
metalness: 0.0, // 0 = dielectric, 1 = metal
// Textures
map: colorTexture, // Albedo/base color
roughnessMap: roughTexture, // Per-pixel roughness
metalnessMap: metalTexture, // Per-pixel metalness
normalMap: normalTexture, // Surface detail
normalScale: new THREE.Vector2(1, 1),
aoMap: aoTexture, // Ambient occlusion (uses uv2!)
aoMapIntensity: 1,
displacementMap: dispTexture, // Vertex displacement
displacementScale: 0.1,
displacementBias: 0,
// Emissive
emissive: 0x000000,
emissiveIntensity: 1,
emissiveMap: emissiveTexture,
// Environment
envMap: envTexture,
envMapIntensity: 1,
// Other
flatShading: false,
wireframe: false,
fog: true,
});
// Note: aoMap requires second UV channel
geometry.setAttribute("uv2", geometry.attributes.uv);
Extends MeshStandardMaterial with advanced features.
const material = new THREE.MeshPhysicalMaterial({
// All MeshStandardMaterial properties plus:
// Clearcoat (car paint, lacquer)

clearcoatRoughness: 0.1,
clearcoatMap: ccTexture,
clearcoatRoughnessMap: ccrTexture,
clearcoatNormalMap: ccnTexture,
clearcoatNormalScale: new THREE.Vector2(1, 1),
// Transmission (glass, water)
transmission: 1.0, // 0 = opaque, 1 = fully transparent
transmissionMap: transTexture,
thickness: 0.5, // Volume thickness for refraction
thicknessMap: thickTexture,
attenuationDistance: 1, // Absorption distance
attenuationColor: new THREE.Color(0xffffff),
// Refraction

Common Pitfalls
✓ Do
✗ Don't
💡 Pro Tips
✓ Use when
Use for user story writing, competitive research, roadmap prioritization, stakeholder communication, and PRD drafting. Best for reducing repetitive documentation and research work.
✗ Avoid when
Avoid for strategic product vision (requires deep customer empathy), pricing decisions (needs market and financial expertise), or when face-to-face customer discovery is more valuable than speed.

I recommend threejs-materials for anyone iterating fast on agent tooling; clear intent and a small, reviewable surface area.
Keeps context tight: threejs-materials is the kind of skill you can hand to a new teammate without a long onboarding doc.
threejs-materials is among the better-maintained entries we tried; worth keeping pinned for repeat workflows.
threejs-materials reduced setup friction for our internal harness; good balance of opinion and flexibility.
Registry listing for threejs-materials matched our evaluation — installs cleanly and behaves as described in the markdown.
threejs-materials fits our agent workflows well — practical, well scoped, and easy to wire into existing repos.
We added threejs-materials from the explainx registry; install was straightforward and the SKILL.md answered most questions upfront.
Useful defaults in threejs-materials — fewer surprises than typical one-off scripts, and it plays nicely with `npx skills` flows.
