About the resource

To create this, we need two components:

  • 3D Game Box Component (with inactive and active variants)

  • Box Shelf Component (which wraps multiple boxes together)

The magic happens with 3D transforms, which project the boxes into 3D space. When hovering over a box, the component switches to the active variant, giving it a pop-out effect. Once the mouse leaves, it resets to the inactive state.

2. 3D folder interaction in Framer

Inspired by Royden, this 3D folder interaction is a sleek and modern way to showcase expanding content.

About the resource

The interaction works with three variants:

  • Default state (folder closed)

  • Hover state (folder slightly opens)

  • Click state (folder fully opens)

The transition between these states is smooth, utilizing mouse enter, mouse leave, and tap interactions to create a seamless animation.

3. Dynamic action bar in Framer
