Week 10: Animation & Effects

Crafting Dynamic and Visually Stunning 3D Experiences

Beyond basic object movement, this week delves into advanced animation techniques and visual effects that can truly elevate your 3D scenes. You'll learn how to create complex motion, simulate natural phenomena, and apply cinematic post-processing effects.

Topics Covered:

• Keyframe animations - Create precise and controlled animations by defining key states over time.
• Tweening (GSAP or React Spring) - Implement smooth interpolations between values for fluid animations.
• Particle systems - Generate dynamic visual effects like smoke, fire, and rain.
• Post-processing: Bloom, FXAA, Depth of Field - Apply screen-space effects to enhance the visual fidelity of your rendered scene.

What You Will Achieve This Week:

By the end of this week, you will be able to implement sophisticated animations and stunning visual effects in your R3F projects. You'll have the tools to create highly dynamic and visually rich 3D web applications that capture user attention and provide a truly immersive experience.
