Scroll Animations & Parallax Sections
3D Parallax Depth Hero Section
A cinematic hero that uses scroll position to move three image layers backward while the centered headline scales up and comes forward. Reveals a call-to-action once the parallax completes. Ideal for image-heavy product launches, portfolio landings, and category overview pages.

Build components/ParallaxDepthHero.tsx. Client component. Requires framer-motion. Outer wrapper: <section> of height 300vh with a ref. Inside: a sticky top-0 h-screen w-full overflow-hidden bg-white font-sans div. Renders three image layers (opacity 0.2 for layer 1, 0.4 for layer 2, 0.6 for layer 3) positioned absolutely at fixed top/left/right/width coordinates. Uses framer-motion useScroll with target on the outer section and offset ["start start","end end"]. Uses useTransform to translate each layer upward as you scroll (layer 3: 0 to -90%, layer 2: 0 to -65%, layer 1: 0 to -40%) and fade each to 0 opacity by 60% scroll. Centered headline (text-[20px] to text-[32px] responsive, font-semibold tracking-tight, max-w-2xl, text-black) scales from 0.6 to 1 and fades from 0.1 to 1 opacity as you scroll. A content row (subtitle + two CTAs) fades in at 60% to 85% scroll. Respect prefers-reduced-motion (all transforms disabled). Props: title?, subtitle?, primaryCta?, secondaryCta?, images? (DepthImage[]). Export DepthImage type. Single default export.
How to use this 3D Parallax Depth Hero Section as a prompt
- Paste the prompt into Claude Code, Cursor, or Google Stitch to build a 3D Parallax Depth Hero Section with three React image layers that recede on scroll.
- Ideal for product story pages, cinematic marketing pages, and editorial landing sections that need a sense of depth.
- Ask Codex or Lovable to add or remove image layers, or invert the parallax direction for a receding-forward feel.
How to use this 3D Parallax Depth Hero Section as code
- Copy the React + Tailwind file into `components/hero/` and pass background, midground, and foreground image URLs plus a headline.
- Uses framer-motion useScroll + useTransform for the three-layer parallax and headline scale. Reduced-motion users see a static layered scene.
- Compatible with Next.js App Router, Astro, and any Vite React starter.

Frequently asked questions about the 3D Parallax Depth Hero Section
How do I add a 3D Parallax Depth Hero Section to my website?+
Copy the source code from the "Copy code" button above and save it as a .tsx file in your components folder. The 3D Parallax Depth Hero Section is built with React, Tailwind CSS, and Framer Motion — add those as dependencies if they are not already in your project. Import and render the component wherever you need it. Every prop is optional and typed.
Can I use the 3D Parallax Depth Hero Section with Claude Code, Cursor, or Lovable?+
Yes. Each prompt tab above is tuned specifically for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Lovable, Replit, and Google Stitch. Paste the prompt into whichever AI coding tool you are using and it will generate a 3D Parallax Depth Hero Section matched to your existing file structure, design tokens, and brand color. Claude Code and Cursor work best when your project is already open — they slot the component directly into your codebase. Lovable and Replit are fastest for a standalone preview.
How do I customise the hero design and colors?+
The 3D Parallax Depth Hero Section uses Tailwind utility classes throughout, so every color, spacing value, and font weight is one class away from changing. Replace any color class with your brand token (for example, swap `bg-black` for `bg-[#your-hex]`). To change the animation timing, update the `duration-` or `delay-` classes, or pass new values into the Framer Motion `transition` prop if the component uses it. For a full brand restyle, paste the component into Claude Code or Cursor and describe your design system.
Is the 3D Parallax Depth Hero Section free to use in commercial projects?+
Yes. Every component in the AI Library, including the 3D Parallax Depth Hero Section, is free to copy, adapt, and ship in commercial projects, client work, SaaS products, open-source repos, and internal tools. No attribution required, no license fee, no royalty.
What parallax frameworks does the 3D Parallax Depth Hero Section support?+
The 3D Parallax Depth Hero Section is a plain React 18 client component written in React + Framer Motion + Tailwind. It runs on Next.js (App Router and Pages Router), Vite, Remix, Gatsby, and any other framework that supports React 18 and Tailwind CSS v3. Keep the "use client" directive at the top of the file when you paste it into a Next.js App Router project.
Does the 3D Parallax Depth Hero Section work with TypeScript?+
Yes. The component is written in TypeScript with fully typed props and exported interfaces. Paste it into a TypeScript project and it compiles without modification. If you need a plain JavaScript version, ask Claude Code or Cursor to strip the type annotations.
Can I combine the 3D Parallax Depth Hero Section with other AI Library sections?+
Yes. Every component in the AI Library is standalone with no shared global state, no conflicting resets, and no namespace collisions. Drop the 3D Parallax Depth Hero Section alongside any other section component. They are compatible with shadcn/ui, Radix UI, MUI, and any other component library you are already using.
