Scroll Hero Animation — 3D Scene Driven by Scroll

Hero scene that transforms as the user scrolls — camera moves, models morph, particles disperse, telling a story in seconds.

Scroll hero animation uses the first 100-200vh as a mini scrollytelling sequence. Visitor lands, sees the hero scene, scrolls — and the scene transforms across 3-5 keyframes before settling into the rest of the site. Technical: GSAP timeline driven by ScrollTrigger, Three.js scene state changes per timeline keyframe (camera position, material colors, mesh positions). Cost is quoted per project. Strongest fit for brand microsites where the hero is the message, less appropriate for content-heavy sites where users want to skim quickly. Mobile-friendly version uses simplified scene with same narrative beats.

Concrete deliverable

What you receive at handover: a working Scroll Hero Animation — 3D Scene Driven by Scroll on production hosting, all source files handed over, og-images for social sharing, basic schema.org markup and a sitemap entry. The source code, domain and hosting are yours — I never hold code hostage.

Engagement model

Fixed price and timeline agreed upfront in a written offer, with no hourly billing. Revisions within the agreed scope are included. Out-of-scope changes are quoted separately before any work happens. No retainer required, no monthly minimum. Payment terms are set out in the same offer.

Technical foundation

Stack: Three.js v0.170 with GSAP for animation timeline, Lenis for smooth scroll, Vite for build, GLSL for custom shaders when needed. Hosting with a fast first byte, HTTP/2, Brotli compression and long-lived caching for static assets. Before launch I run a mobile Lighthouse test and send you the result.

Where it fits

This service is the right call when the brand needs a visual moment that sets it apart from the average competitor — agencies pitching new business, premium e-commerce, portfolios that need to look ahead-of-curve. If you need a basic content site or blog, a static-site generator without 3D is more economical and ranks just as well for simple keyword targets.

Frequently asked questions

Do you handle hosting?
Yes. Hosting, SSL, nightly backups and maintenance can be part of the written offer. I don't lock you in — you can move to any modern provider at any time, all assets travel with the codebase.
What's your revision policy?
Revisions within the agreed scope are included. Out-of-scope changes are quoted separately before any work happens. After launch I check the live site and fix whatever shows up there.
How long does this take?
It depends on scope. A simple site usually takes 1–2 weeks, larger projects take longer, and the exact timeline is in the written offer.
What does it cost?
Every project is quoted per scope — scene count, asset complexity and interactivity drive the effort. Send a short brief and you get a written fixed quote, with source code included.
What if my visitors are on weak phones?
The site detects device tier before the first scene loads and serves a lighter version on weak hardware (fewer particles, simpler shaders). Devices without WebGL get a static fallback that preserves the visual language and conversion path.
