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.
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.
E-commerce Product Displays - Let customers rotate and zoom into products from every angle, just like the big brands do
Portfolio Showcases - Display 3D work, character models, or design concepts in an interactive way that stands out
Landing Page Heroes - Add eye-catching 3D objects with smooth entrance animations that grab attention immediately
Architecture & Real Estate - Present building models, floor plans, or property visualizations that clients can explore
Tech & Gaming Sites - Showcase game assets, tech products, or futuristic designs with dramatic lighting and animations
Educational Content - Display anatomical models, scientific visualizations, or any educational 3D content interactively
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
