Scroll Through Space – Interactive 3D Background with Three.js

I created a cinematic 3D background experience for my website using Three.js. As visitors scroll down the page, they follow a spaceship flying through different environments—from starfield with nebula to cloudy sky and endless blue ocean. The entire scene is synced with the scroll position, offering an immersive experience that evolves as users explore the page.



The project combines real-time rendering, custom shaders, and scroll-based animation logic, all seamlessly integrated into the layout without disrupting usability or performance. The 3D elements are responsive and optimized for both desktop and mobile viewing.

This approach turns a typical website background into an engaging journey—more like a short interactive film than a static design.

Highlights:

  • Fully scroll-synced 3D animation using Three.js
  • Dynamic lighting, fog effects
  • Optimized for performance and responsiveness
  • Built with pure HTML and javascript
  • Uses GLTF models and custom shaders
