Step 1: Choose the Right 3D Template

Draftly offers a variety of templates tailored for different industries, from fashion to tech. Picking the right one can save hours of design work.

• Log into your Draftly dashboard and select “Templates” from the menu.
• Filter templates by category, such as “eCommerce” or “Tech Products.”
• Preview designs with built-in 3D animations.
• Select a template that aligns with your product type.

Step 2: Upload Your Product Assets

High-quality visuals are the foundation of any immersive page. Draftly supports a range of formats, including OBJ, FBX, and GLB for 3D models.

Tips for Optimizing Assets

• Use high-resolution textures (at least 2048x2048 pixels) for a polished look.
• Keep file sizes under 5MB to ensure fast load times.
• Add 360-degree product views for enhanced interactivity.

• Navigate to your chosen template and click “Edit.”
• In the assets section, upload 3D files, product images, or videos.
• Use Draftly’s auto-optimization tool to compress files without losing quality.

Step 3: Customize Animations and Scroll Effects

Draftly’s scroll-driven animation editor allows you to add cinematic effects that trigger as users interact with your page.

• Open the “Animations” tab in the editor.
• Assign animations to specific elements, such as “fade-in,” “spin,” or “zoom.”
• Set scroll triggers to control when animations play.
• Preview and fine-tune timing for a seamless experience.

Step 4: Add Interactive Hotspots

Hotspots are clickable areas that provide extra information, such as product details, videos, or purchase links. They’re perfect for guiding users through complex products.

• In the editor, select the “Hotspot” tool.
• Click on your 3D model to place a hotspot.
• Add a label, description, or link to a product page.
• Customize the appearance, such as color, size, or hover effects.

Example Use Case

If you’re designing for a tech product, use hotspots to highlight key features like camera specs or battery life. For inspiration, see how 3D dashboards transform agritech startups.
