## What it is
A React wrapper around the pmndrs/postprocessing library for use with react-three-fiber, providing declarative postprocessing effects for WebGL scenes. It simplifies building effect chains with performance optimizations like merged EffectPasses and MSAA support.

## Use cases
- add bloom and depth-of-field to a react-three-fiber scene
- apply postprocessing effects to three.js renders in React
- create a performant effects chain for WebGL graphics
- add anti-aliasing and gamma correction to 3D renders
- build stylized 3D visuals with vignette and noise effects
- wrap postprocessing effects declaratively in React components

## When to choose
- you use react-three-fiber and want declarative postprocessing effects
- you need a simple effects chain without complex orchestration
- you want performance-optimized fullscreen effects with MSAA support

## When to avoid
- you need complex orchestration of many effect passes
- you are not using React or react-three-fiber
- you need fine-grained manual control over render passes

## Facets
- artifact type: library
