3D Hero Section
A 3D hero turns the first viewport into a product story. The scene should clarify the value proposition, not merely decorate the page.
- Best use case
- SaaS launches, developer tools, fintech, and AI product pages.
- Recommended stack
- Next.js + React Three Fiber + Drei
When to use it
Use it when the 3D composition can explain the product faster than static screenshots.
When not to use it
Avoid it when the first screen needs long copy, complex forms, or immediate accessibility-first interaction.

Performance risks
- The hero can delay meaningful content if it loads too much geometry.
- Excess camera movement can reduce readability.
Recommended approach
Keep the scene compact, use text labels sparingly, limit OrbitControls, and load the Canvas dynamically below a polished fallback.
