Loader 3D

While Framer has 3D transforms for rotating layers in 3D space, there's never been a way to actually load real 3D models—the kind you'd get from Blender, Spline, or any 3D software. You couldn't showcase products in 360°, display architectural models, or add that extra depth to your portfolio. This component changes everything by bringing true 3D model support directly into Framer.

Description

3D Loader lets you upload GLB or GLTF files and turn them into interactive, animated 3D experiences right on your Framer canvas. The component handles everything from loading and rendering to animations and user interactions. You get full control over how your model appears, moves, and responds to user actions—all through simple, visual controls in Framer's property panel.

The component automatically optimizes performance for different devices, supports transparent backgrounds so your models blend seamlessly into any design, and includes smart features like lazy loading so your site stays fast.

Use Cases

1. E-commerce Product Displays - Let customers rotate and zoom into products from every angle, just like the big brands do

2. Portfolio Showcases - Display 3D work, character models, or design concepts in an interactive way that stands out

3. Landing Page Heroes - Add eye-catching 3D objects with smooth entrance animations that grab attention immediately

4. Architecture & Real Estate - Present building models, floor plans, or property visualizations that clients can explore

5. Tech & Gaming Sites - Showcase game assets, tech products, or futuristic designs with dramatic lighting and animations

6. Educational Content - Display anatomical models, scientific visualizations, or any educational 3D content interactively

Customizations

Animation System

• 6 ready-to-use animation presets (Product Showcase, Gallery, Magical, Professional, Playful, Hero Attention)

• Custom entry animations (fade, scale, rise, drop, spin combinations)

• Continuous idle animations (rotate, float, pulse, orbit, swing, and hybrid effects)

• Interactive hover effects (pause, scale, tilt to cursor, glow, bounce)

• Click animations (wobble, flip, pop, spin) with play-once or loop options

• Fine-tune duration, delay, easing curves, speed, and intensity for every animation

Lighting & Appearance

• 6 lighting presets (Bright, Natural, Dramatic, Soft, Studio, Outdoor) plus custom controls

• Adjustable ambient and directional light intensity

• Custom light positioning and color controls

• Real-time shadow support with soft shadow mapping

• Solid or transparent background options

• Ground plane option for added realism

Camera & Controls

• Full user interaction (rotate, zoom, pan) with optional disable

• Multiple camera position presets (Front, Back, Top, Side, Isometric)

• Adjustable field of view, zoom limits, and camera distance

• Smooth rotation damping for premium feel

• Initial rotation controls for perfect starting angles

Model Transform

• Auto-center and scale, or manual positioning controls

• Independent X/Y/Z position offsets

• Size scaling from 10% to 300%

Performance & Optimization

• Lazy loading—models only load when scrolled into view

• Frame rate limiting (30fps, 60fps, unlimited)

• Low quality mode for mobile devices

• Pause rendering when tab is hidden to save resources

• Pixel ratio controls for balancing quality and performance

• Automatic mobile optimization

Debug & Info
