3D models visitors can turn

Show a product or a building as a 3D model. It turns as visitors scroll, or they turn it with the mouse or a finger. Supported phones can show it in their own room.

The problem it solves

  • Photos from four angles still leave buyers asking what the back looks like.
  • Your designer made a 3D model of the product, but it only lives in their software.
  • Showing 3D on a website has meant a developer and a viewer plug-in.

How it works

  1. Add a 3D model section from + Add section > Scroll stories.
  2. Press Choose a 3D model > Upload a GLB file. Most 3D tools and phone 3D-scan apps can export GLB.
  3. Pick how it moves: Turns as visitors scroll, Visitors turn it themselves, or Turns slowly by itself.
  4. Add a title, text, a button and labels that appear at points of the scroll.
  5. Choose where the model sits, what is behind it, and whether phones show See it in your room. Publish.
