Below is a basic outline for a modern cryptocurrency website with 3D elements using React and Three.js. This example demonstrates a hero section with a spinning 3D coin, basic styling using TailwindCSS, and a responsive layout.
-
Install dependencies:
- Install React, Three.js, and TailwindCSS by running the following commands in your project directory:
npx create-react-app crypto-website cd crypto-website npm install three @react-three/fiber @react-three/drei tailwindcss
- Install React, Three.js, and TailwindCSS by running the following commands in your project directory:
-
Set up TailwindCSS:
- Initialize Tailwind by running:
npx tailwindcss init
- In
tailwind.config.js
, add the following:module.exports = { content: [ "./src/**/*.{js,jsx,ts,tsx}", ], theme: { extend: {}, }, plugins: [], };
- In
src/index.css
, import Tailwind styles:@tailwind base; @tailwind components; @tailwind utilities;
- Initialize Tailwind by running:
-
3D Coin Model: Use a simple 3D model from Three.js (this example shows a rotating 3D cylinder that mimics a coin).
- App.js (Main Component with 3D Coin)
import React from 'react';
import { Canvas } from '@react-three/fiber';
import { OrbitControls } from '@react-three/drei';
import './App.css';
const Coin = () => {
return (
<mesh rotation={[90, 0, 20]}>
<cylinderBufferGeometry args={[1, 1, 0.2, 32]} />
<meshStandardMaterial color={'#FFD700'} />
</mesh>
);
};
const App = () => {
return (
<div className="bg-gray-900 h-screen text-white">
<header className="text-center p-8">
<h1 className="text-5xl font-bold mb-4">Crypto Website</h1>
<p className="text-lg">Welcome to the future of decentralized finance</p>
</header>
<div className="h-96 flex justify-center items-center">
<Canvas>
<ambientLight intensity={0.5} />
<spotLight position={[10, 15, 10]} angle={0.3} />
<Coin />
<OrbitControls enableZoom={false} />
</Canvas>
</div>
<footer className="text-center mt-8">
<p>© 2024 Crypto Website. All rights reserved.</p>
</footer>
</div>
);
};
export default App;
- App.css (Optional for additional styles)
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
font-family: 'Inter', sans-serif;
}
canvas {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
-
Three.js Coin:
- The
Coin
component is a basic 3D model of a cylinder, simulating a coin usingcylinderBufferGeometry
. The material is set to gold color withmeshStandardMaterial
.
- The
-
Canvas:
- The 3D scene is rendered inside the
Canvas
component from@react-three/fiber
, which is a React renderer for Three.js.
- The 3D scene is rendered inside the
-
OrbitControls:
- Controls the 3D camera's orbit around the coin. You can disable zoom with
enableZoom={false}
to fix the zoom level.
- Controls the 3D camera's orbit around the coin. You can disable zoom with
-
TailwindCSS Styling:
- The layout is responsive, with a centered hero section that uses TailwindCSS classes like
bg-gray-900
,h-screen
,text-white
, andtext-center
to manage the layout.
- The layout is responsive, with a centered hero section that uses TailwindCSS classes like
-
3D Coin Model: You can replace the simple cylinder with an actual 3D coin model, using Blender to create a more detailed coin and exporting it to Three.js-friendly formats like
.glb
or.gltf
. -
Additional 3D Elements: Add more 3D animations (like blockchain visualizations, transaction flows, etc.) using Three.js for a more interactive experience.
-
Real-time Data: You can integrate a cryptocurrency API (e.g., CoinGecko) to display live pricing and statistics alongside the 3D elements.
This basic setup creates the foundation for a modern cryptocurrency website with 3D elements. Let me know if you'd like further customizations or additional sections!
