Recreating Atmos 3D Website with React Three Fiber: Part 3 - Effects
Overview
Welcome to the third part of our tutorial series on recreating the stunning Atmos 3D website using React Three Fiber and Three.js!
In this episode, we will finalize the 3D elements and introduce new effects to make the experience even more immersive. If you've been following along, you know we've already set up the foundations and added lighting effects. Now, it's time to polish the 3D environment with animations, smooth transitions, and engaging visual effects.
The Power of Effects
Simple 3D models and animations often fail to capture attention unless they are accompanied by smooth transitions, subtle animations, and atmospheric effects. This tutorial focuses on adding those extra details, which can elevate a basic 3D scene to something truly memorable.
By the end of this tutorial, you'll have a fully functional and visually rich 3D website, including background animations, fading effects on clouds and text, and smooth camera movements that enhance the user experience.
