Decorative 3D / Visual Accent
Decorative 3D adds atmosphere without becoming the main product interaction. It is ideal for portfolio pages, landing backgrounds, and interface accents that need more depth than flat illustration.
- Best use case
- Marketing pages, portfolios, and lightweight visual identity.
- Recommended stack
- Spline + React Three Fiber
When to use it
Use it when the page needs depth, motion, and brand personality but the 3D scene is not a core interaction.
When not to use it
Avoid it when the page is already dense, conversion-focused, or the device budget is very small.

Performance risks
- Overusing animation can distract from the actual content.
- Large imported assets can make a decorative element cost too much.
Recommended approach
Use procedural geometry, capped DPR, simple lights, and reduced-motion fallbacks. Keep controls disabled and let the scene sit behind or beside the content.
