babylonjs vanilla typescript - not reliant on react-babylonjs react renderer.
You can copy the code in babylonjs-hook if you want to avoid a dependency, but the only small dependency (104 lines) is on babylonjs-hook, so you can create a Babylon Scene and the context provides access to the scene for you without prop drilling. The component will create a canvas, open and dispose automatically on mount/unmount. Note that in the sample an onRender callback is used, but plan to bring more hooks over from main project soon (ie: useBeforeRender).
There is an optional dependency on react-babylonjs-loaders, which is a series of hooks and optional context providers for fallback progress that allow you to easily use SceneLoader and AssetManager with React Suspense. In this sample application the useSceneLoader hook loads the water bottle (with download progress) and the useAssetManager hook loads the other 2 models, but the AssetManager can be used for textures, etc as well.
