- 0:03have you ever wondered how to make a
- 0:05website with 3D scroll animations
- 0:07without using any code today we'll do
- 0:11just that using figma Andorra before we
- 0:14dive in make sure to download our free
- 0:16UI ux Playbook with practical design
- 0:19tips and tricks
- 0:21alright let's get started we already
- 0:24have a website design in figma if you
- 0:27want to follow along you can find the
- 0:29free source file in the description
- 0:30below this video to get started select
- 0:34the frame and open the figma to Dora
- 0:36plugin now copy the layers to your
- 0:39clipboard and head over to dora.run
- 0:43Dora is awesome for Designing and
- 0:45Publishing 3D and animated sites all
- 0:48without a code if you don't have an
- 0:50account yet go ahead and register for
- 0:52free now
- 0:53let's create a new project when you do
- 0:56you'll notice a desktop size frame is
- 0:59automatically created let's change that
- 1:02to a Macbook 16 inch before we go any
- 1:05further it's important to match our
- 1:07frame height in Dora to the one we have
- 1:09in figma for us it's
- 1:135772 pixels
- 1:15now we're going to paste our layers into
- 1:18this new frame
- 1:19this part might take a few seconds or
- 1:22even a couple of minutes a quick tip
- 1:25try unselecting the frame while it's
- 1:27processing
- 1:29I found that this often speeds things up
- 1:31a bit once your design is in Dora you
- 1:34might notice that some elements look a
- 1:36bit off
- 1:37feel free to adjust their position
- 1:38delete them or even recreate them
- 1:41directly in Dora
- 1:44now let's enhance our design by
- 1:47incorporating 3D models
- 1:49head over to sketchfab.com a great
- 1:52resource for both free and paid 3D
- 1:55models I'm going to search for ocean
- 1:57animals and set filters to show only
- 2:00downloadable and animated models that
- 2:02are free but feel free to look for any
- 2:05specific animal you like
- 2:10once you've found a model you like go
- 2:13ahead and download it in glb format
- 2:20now that we've got our 3D model it's
- 2:23time to bring it into Dora find the 3D
- 2:26icon in the top bar and click and drag
- 2:28to create a 3D widget
- 2:30once that's set up import the 3D model
- 2:33you just downloaded every 3D widget in
- 2:36Dora contains a built-in default camera
- 2:39to zoom in or out just use your mouse
- 2:42wheel if you want to rotate the model
- 2:44left click and drag and if you want to
- 2:47move it around simply right click and
- 2:49drag if you prefer you can also adjust
- 2:53the values in the right sidebar to see
- 2:56the animation
- 2:57select the layer right below the 3D
- 2:59scene and toggle it on
- 3:02next let's make sure our design looks
- 3:05good on different screen sizes to do
- 3:07that adjust the 3D widget frame width to
- 3:11100 viewport width
- 3:13now for the main attraction on this page
- 3:15I'll be using a 3D model of a sea turtle
- 3:19there are some free options out there
- 3:21but for this tutorial I'm using a paid
- 3:24one I'll include links to the 3D models
- 3:27in the description along with some free
- 3:30Alternatives once you've picked your 3D
- 3:32model download it and bring it into Dora
- 3:35just like before set the width to 100
- 3:38viewport width and connect the 3D widget
- 3:41with the viewport top
- 3:42[Music]
- 3:44now when you open the keyframe panel and
- 3:47move the viewport your sea turtle should
- 3:49move along with it
- 3:51fantastic we're now ready to bring the
- 3:54sea turtle to life
- 3:55so first things first let's select the
- 3:58default camera
- 3:59add your first keyframe when the handle
- 4:01is at zero now
- 4:03Slide the handle over to 32 and add a
- 4:06second keyframe here's where we get a
- 4:09little precise adjust the values in the
- 4:11right sidebar according to the settings
- 4:13I'm using
- 4:15this way you can get the same animation
- 4:17I've got down to the Last Detail
- 4:20next move your handle to 88 and add
- 4:24another keyframe and tweak the values
- 4:26again
- 4:28[Music]
- 4:32at 120 add your next keyframe and fine
- 4:36tune the values these incremental
- 4:38changes are what's going to make your
- 4:40animation smooth and eye-catching
- 4:45alright move the handle to 170 and yes
- 4:50you guessed it
- 4:51another keyframe and another round of
- 4:54adjustments it might seem like a lot of
- 4:56steps but the final effect will be worth
- 4:59it
- 5:00let's keep going move the handle to 235
- 5:04add a keyframe and adjust the values
- 5:08almost there
- 5:10slide to 280 and adjust the values
- 5:22lastly move the handle to 310 and adjust
- 5:26the values one more time
- 5:30[Music]
- 5:33that's it
- 5:34let's check out how all this effort pays
- 5:37off
- 5:38thank you
- 5:40the animated sea turtle really brings
- 5:43the design to life

- 6:03elements directly in Dora this ensures
- 6:05that your design adjusts beautifully on
- 6:08different screen sizes
- 6:10it's worth mentioning that Dora is still
- 6:12evolving
- 6:13while it's pretty awesome already you
- 6:16might run into some limitations
- 6:17especially when it comes to
