Floating Capsule Character Controller
Simple web based character controller build on react-three-fiber and react-three-rapier. It provides a playground demo where you can experience the following features:
- Seamless movement over small obstacles
- Enhanced control with floating force incorporating spring and damping forces
- Rigidbody character functionality for interaction with the game environment
- Customizable ground friction for tailored control
- Realistic simulation with applied mass on supporting surfaces
- Smooth integration with moving and rotating platforms

Live Demo: Floating Capsule Character Controller
Setup
Download Node.js. Run this followed commands:
# Install dependencies (only the first time)
npm install
# Run the local server at localhost:8080
npm run dev
# Build for production in the dist/ directory
npm run build
Next Steps
As I continue to improve and expand the Floating Capsule Character Controller, here are some next steps I am considering:
- Better handling of slope and stairs movement
- Implementing camera collision to prevent clipping
- Adding a dust effect triggered by character movement or jumps
- Developing a character animation state machine for seamless animation transitions
