Build User Bookings Page in Next.js + FastAPI! | Flight Booking Engine Day 36

Make navigation instant: front-load your GLTFs, textures, and cube maps so pages switch without a single micro-loading pause. Summary: Part 11 (Final) of Build an Awwwards-Winning 3D Adidas (Next.js + Three.js Tutorial) shows how to turn a “good” 3D demo into a production-ready experience by preloading critical assets, enabling Three.js caching, and forcing immediate downloads so route changes don’t trigger new requests. You’ll learn how to implement a dedicated preload component, use useLoader proactively, prioritize above-the-fold assets, preload cube maps, and guard the initial animation so it only runs once. This final polish eliminates jarring load flashes and makes your 3D site feel premium — exactly what award-level sites deliver. Chapters: 00:00:00 – Remove redundant imports — slim the bundle and remove dead code. 00:04:00 – Add black background to loading UI — hide DOM bleed during asset fetch. 00:05:31 – Add asset preloading component — force immediate useLoader calls. 00:10:42 – Cube map preloading — cache HDRI/environment maps up front. 00:13:28 – Initial animation for MainStudioModel.tsx — wire entry timeline. 00:17:53 – Run init animation once — session/season logic to avoid repeat plays.
