fix1: "This is a standard startup message confirming that the Three.js renderer has been successfully initialized. It's not an error. If you don't see this, it's likely Three.js itself failed to load.",
fix2: "Cause: Most materials, like MeshStandardMaterial or MeshPhongMaterial, require light to be visible. Without any lights in the scene, objects using these materials will render as black. Fix: Add at least one light to your scene. An AmbientLight provides basic, flat illumination, while a DirectionalLight simulates a distant light source like the sun.",
fix3: "Cause: This typically happens when your model loader's callback function returns, but the model data is not what you expect. Your code tries to access gltf.scene, but gltf is undefined. Fix: This is often a symptom of a failed model load. Check the console for an earlier error (like a 404 Not Found) that indicates the model file itself couldn't be fetched. The loader failed, so the callback received nothing.",
fix4: "Cause: The path provided to the model loader is incorrect. The browser cannot find the file at that location. Fix: Double-check the file path. Is it relative or absolute? Is there a typo? Open your browser's 'Network' tab in the developer tools to see the exact URL it tried to fetch and the 404 error response.",
fix5: "This is a useful debugging message you can add yourself with console.log() to confirm that your animate function is being called. If your scene is static when it should be moving, and you don't see this message, you've likely forgotten to call animate() to start the loop.",
fix6: "Cause: You are trying to use a variable before the object it represents has been fully created and added to the scene. Fix: Make sure your object is initialized before you try to access its properties. A common solution is to wrap your code that interacts with the object in a conditional statement like if (cube) { ... }.",
