Stratopreter

Stratopreter is an innovative web application built for Syntax Error, designed to provide a rich, interactive user experience. It leverages the power of Three.js for 3D rendering, along with various UI/UX-enhancing libraries like Swiper, Slater, GSAP, and Finsweet.

Tech Stack

Frontend

• Three.js: Used for creating and rendering 3D models and scenes.
• HTML & CSS: Core technologies for structuring and styling the web application.
• Swiper: A modern touch slider used for creating interactive sliders with smooth animations.
• Slater: Provides elegant transitions and animations to enhance the overall visual aesthetics.
• GSAP (GreenSock Animation Platform): Handles complex animations for UI elements, adding smooth transitions and interactivity.
• Finsweet: Used to create customizable sliders and dynamic elements in Webflow.

Features

• 3D Interaction: The app provides an immersive 3D experience using Three.js for rendering interactive models.
• Swiper Integration: Seamless swiping experience for different sections, especially for galleries and dynamic content presentation.
• Advanced Animations: Powered by GSAP for smooth and performant transitions across various elements.
• Finsweet Components: Customizable CMS sliders for dynamically generated content, providing a rich user interface with draggable and loopable slides.

Usage

Initializing Three.js

Three.js powers the 3D models and interaction, with the following basic setup:

import * as THREE from 'three';

const scene = new THREE.Scene();
const camera = new THREE.PerspectiveCamera(75, window.innerWidth/window.innerHeight, 0.1, 1000);

const renderer = new THREE.WebGLRenderer();
renderer.setSize(window.innerWidth, window.innerHeight);
document.body.appendChild(renderer.domElement);

// Add objects to the scene
const geometry = new THREE.BoxGeometry();
const material = new THREE.MeshBasicMaterial({ color: 0x00ff00 });
const cube = new THREE.Mesh(geometry, material);
scene.add(cube);

camera.position.z = 5;

const animate = function () {
  requestAnimationFrame(animate);

  cube.rotation.x += 0.01;
  cube.rotation.y += 0.01;

  renderer.render(scene, camera);
};

animate();

Swiper Integration

Here’s how we integrate the Swiper slider into the app:

<div class="swiper-container">
  <div class="swiper-wrapper">
    <div class="swiper-slide">Slide 1</div>
    <div class="swiper-slide">Slide 2</div>
    <div class="swiper-slide">Slide 3</div>
  </div>
  <!-- Add Pagination -->
  <div class="swiper-pagination"></div>
  <!-- Add Navigation -->
  <div class="swiper-button-next"></div>
  <div class="swiper-button-prev"></div>
</div>

<script>
  const swiper = new Swiper('.swiper-container', {
    direction: 'horizontal',
    loop: true,
    pagination: {
      el: '.swiper-pagination',
      clickable: true,
    },
    navigation: {
      nextEl: '.swiper-button-next',
      prevEl: '.swiper-button-prev',
    },
  });
</script>

GSAP Animations

For animations, GSAP provides smooth and performant effects:

gsap.to(".box", {duration: 2, x: 300});

Finsweet CMS Slider Example

Finsweet allows the creation of powerful sliders with dynamic content. Here’s an example of how to use Finsweet for CMS sliders:

<div class="fs-cmsslider-element" fs-cmsslider-element="slider">
  <div class="slide">Slide Content</div>
</div>
