# MotionCanvas

React Three Fiber (R3F) uses the [Canvas component](https://docs.pmnd.rs/react-three-fiber/api/canvas) to establish a 3D scene. Using this component will break context with parent components.

To link Motion 3D context with DOM Motion, for example to share a default transition or link the [LayoutCamera](/docs/react-three-fiber-layout-cameras.md) with layout animations, the `MotionCanvas` component can be used instead.

```
import { MotionConfig, motion } from "motion/react"
import { MotionCanvas, motion as motion3d } from "framer-motion-3d"

export function App() {
  return (
    <MotionConfig transition={{ type: "spring" }}>
      <motion.div animate={{ scale: 2 }}>
        <MotionCanvas>
          <motion3d.boxGeometry animate={{ x: 1 }} />
        </MotionCanvas>
      </motion.div>
    </MotionConfig>
  )
}
```

It shares all the same props as R3F's `Canvas` component, with the omission of `resize`, as `MotionCanvas` implements its own resize options to sync with Framer Motion's layout animations.

It's also mandatory to enable [3D scenes within layout animations](/docs/react-three-fiber-layout-cameras.md).
