What's the primitive for Object3D?

[trusktr]

I see the README says

Look up the JSX elements that you see (mesh, ambientLight, etc), all threejs exports are native to three-fiber.

I tried <object3d /> but it doesn't seem to exist (TypeScript has a type error on the missing intrinsic type).

This works:

<primitive object={new Object3D} />

or similar. Seems like there should be <object3d>.

[trusktr]

Looks like <group> is the closest thing.

Although Group is just an empty class that extends from Object3D, it has semantic differences from Object3D due to WebGLRenderer running different code paths based on whether an object is a Group or not; group !== object3d.

Maybe r3f needs <object3d> too.

object3D is correct. If it's missing then it must have gotten lost in the types. Could you take a quick look? I'm not so good with ts. It works in vanilla for sure. But yes, you should always use group because it's faster. Gltfjsx for insurance even converts o3ds into groups for that reason.
