@jerrythewebdev: How I build 3D websites 👇 Academy in bio 🔗 For a site like this, I would start with a dark architectural direction built around a floating glass structure that feels somewhere between a sculpture and an interactive building. The first thing the visitor would see is a large transparent form suspended in the center of the screen. Instead of keeping the camera completely still, I would give it a very slow orbit so the reflections, refractions, and internal geometry constantly shift as the page sits idle. I would build the interface in React or Next.js, then handle the 3D scene with Three.js and React Three Fiber. The glass material would use custom WebGL or GLSL shader work to control distortion, fresnel reflections, subtle chromatic separation, and how the environment bends through the object. As the visitor scrolls, I would connect ScrollTrigger to the camera rather than simply moving the page vertically. The camera would gradually push through openings in the structure while sections of typography appear in different areas of the scene. Lenis would smooth the scroll input so those camera transitions feel continuous instead of snapping between positions. For cursor interaction, I would convert the pointer position into a small amount of camera parallax and object rotation. I would keep the movement intentionally restrained so the scene reacts without feeling like the entire website is chasing the mouse. Between sections, I would use shader based transitions where the glass briefly distorts the screen before revealing the next composition. Framer Motion or GSAP could handle the surrounding interface while the WebGL layer remains persistent in the background. I would also optimize the scene aggressively by compressing textures, limiting real time lights, reusing geometry, controlling device pixel ratio, and reducing shader complexity on mobile. The goal is to make the website feel responsive at every level, where scrolling changes perspective, the cursor changes depth, and the 3D object becomes part of the navigation instead of just decoration. Save this if you want more breakdowns like this and follow for the next one. #fable #webdevelopment #webdesign #3dwebsite #claude
