3D Animated Webpage - Three.js

Project: Apple-Inspired 3D Scrolling Website ✨

High-end brands like Apple and DJI create incredibly immersive product websites where the user "travels" around an object by scrolling. However, this effect is often achieved by scrubbing through a pre-rendered video or a long sequence of images, which can be heavy and inflexible. The challenge was to replicate this premium, interactive feel using a more efficient, truly 3D approach.

My Solution
I developed a proof-of-concept interactive webpage using the Three.js library to create a genuine real-time 3D experience controlled by the user's scroll.

Real-Time 3D Rendering: Instead of using a video, I used a GLTF loader to import a lightweight 3D model directly into the browser. This allows for smoother animations and is much more performant than loading hundreds of separate images.

Scroll-Based Animation: I wrote JavaScript to link the 3D scene's camera and the model's rotation directly to the user's scroll position. As the user scrolls down the page, they are smoothly guided on a pre-defined animation path around the object.

Scene Creation: I set up a complete 3D environment in the browser, including setting up scene lighting to ensure the model was well-lit and looked professional from every angle.

The Result
The project successfully recreates the premium, narrative-driven feel of a major brand's product launch page. It's a powerful proof-of-concept that shows how real-time 3D rendering can create dynamic and engaging web experiences that are more efficient and flexible than traditional image-based techniques.
