What's the best direction to follow in incorporating a 3D animation created in Adobe Dimension (GLTF/GLB/OBJ formats) into a Webflow site?

TL;DR
  • Export your 3D model from Adobe Dimension in GLB format.
  • Use a 3D viewer like Spline or Sketchfab to host and generate an iframe embed.
  • Add the iframe to Webflow using an Embed element, then style it for responsiveness.

To incorporate a 3D animation created in Adobe Dimension (output formats like GLTF, GLB, or OBJ) into Webflow, follow an external tool integration method—Webflow does not natively support 3D model files. Here's the best direction using platforms like Spline or Three.js through embeds.

1. Export the Model From Adobe Dimension

  • Export your 3D asset in one of the compatible formats: GLTF, GLB, or OBJ.
  • GLB is most preferable for web use due to its compact size and single-file structure.

2. Choose a Viewer or Hosting Approach

  • Use a 3D model viewer that supports embedding (e.g., Sketchfab, Vectary, or Spline).
  • Spline is directly built for Webflow-friendly embeds and interactive experiences.
  • If you need deeper control, use Three.js, but this requires JavaScript skills and external hosting.

3. Embed the 3D Viewer in Webflow

  • In Webflow, add an Embed element where you want the 3D model to appear.
  • From your 3D viewer platform (e.g., Spline or Sketchfab), copy the iframe embed code.
  • Paste it into the Embed element in Webflow Designer.

4. Style the Embed for Responsiveness

  • Select the Embed element and set width/height to 100% or desired responsive values.
  • Optionally, wrap the iframe in a div block with padding or max width to control layout.

5. Optional: Use Custom Hosting for Models

  • Host your GLB/GLTF files on a service like Firebase, GitHub, or AWS S3.
  • Then use external scripts like Three.js with a Webflow Embed to load and render them interactively. This is advanced and requires JS proficiency.

Summary

To add a 3D animation from Adobe Dimension into Webflow, use an external viewer like Spline or Sketchfab to embed it via an iframe. These platforms handle 3D rendering, while Webflow provides layout control. This method offers excellent visuals with minimal code.
