3D Hero with anime.js v4 Render Framework

What this builds

A full-viewport hero section where multiple visual layers live at different Z-depths inside a CSS perspective container, all orchestrated by anime.js v4 timelines. The user sees a parallax depth scene that responds to pointer movement (subtle tilt), plays a choreographed entrance sequence on load, and shifts layers at different scroll rates as they scroll down.

• CSS 3D transforms (perspective, translateZ, rotateX/Y) create real depth, not faked parallax offsets
• anime.js v4 createTimeline() sequences the entrance: layers fade/translate in with staggered timing
• Pointer-reactive tilt maps cursor position to scene rotateX/Y (max +/-8 degrees)
• Scroll parallax moves layers at rates proportional to their Z-depth
• Idle float loop keeps the scene alive when the user stops interacting
• Single HTML file, no build step required, no WebGL

When to use / when not to

• Use when the hero needs visible depth and layered motion without the weight of WebGL/Three.js.
• Use when the brand allows playful 3D tilt and parallax (portfolios, SaaS landing pages, creative agencies).
• Do NOT use when the hero needs actual 3D geometry, lighting, or materials. Use react-three-fiber-drei or three-js-fundamentals instead.
• Do NOT use for a hero that is primarily typographic. Use hero-kinetic-typography instead.
• Do NOT use when scroll-driven image sequences are the centerpiece. Use hero-video-scrub-apple instead.
• Do NOT use for particle effects. Use hero-particle-text-formation or webgl-particle-systems instead.
