Damage Numbers
Display floating damage numbers that animate upward and fade out, with support for critical hits.
Technique
Use Drei's Html component to render DOM elements in 3D space. Manage damage numbers in React state, spawn them with random positions, and use CSS animations for the floating/fading effect.
Key Concepts

<div style={{ animation: 'damageNumber 1.3s ease-out forwards' }}>{damage.value}</div>
</Html>
