Guides
Welcome to the Backstage documentation. These guides explain how to animate with Backstage in the browser. For type-level API detail, use the API reference.
Getting started
Backstage works with any front-end stack. Pick a tutorial that matches your project:
- With THREE.js — vanilla Three.js and a bundler
- With HTML / SVG — no bundler; CDN or script modules
- With React Three Fiber — notes for R3F (no official extension in this fork yet)
Learn the model
- Concepts — objects, props, sheets, sequences, extensions
