This is a crash course of scrollable experiences with Threejs, gsap, and WEBGi. I'll show you how to create interactive pages by embedding 3D models on a page with scroll-based animations.
We will do the entire process together, from creating the page design using Adobe XD and the WEBGi editor to get the images, to implementing the code using a boilerplate provided. We will create all the HTML and CSS together, step by step, until we learn how to install GSAP and configure the animations for each section and find the correct values for each camera position. Next, we'll learn how to merge the 3D animations with the other animations on the page.
The course content is organized as follows:
What are we going to create?
Using the WEBGi editor to configure the 3D model and its integration into the design
Installing the boilerplate to WEBGiz and its dependencies
Exporting the assets and creating the page with HTML and CSS
Creating the other sections of the page and preparing for the animations
Setting up the first animation
Creating the update function and using the scroll to control the animation
How to find the correct camera positions to animate
Animating all sections of the page
Merging the animations of the HTML elements with the 3D model
Performance tweaks and other important tips
Final thoughts and considerations
You'll have access to the design created in Adobe XD format, as well as the project's source code, so you can follow along and create your own pages after this course. In addition, you will also have access to ask me questions to help you develop your projects.
The course is suitable for those who already have some experience with Javascript and have Nodejs installed on their computer.
