# Page Builder Exploration
|
|
|
|
Beyond the core cube scene, I explored several advanced features of the **Page Builder** environment by building more complex layouts.
|
|
|
|
These projects are in the builder **exclusive\_scarlet\_tilda** under **Divya's Team** in **new pages**.
|
|
|
|
## Experimental Layouts
|
|
|
|
### Experiment 1: 3D Sphere & UI Integration
|
|
This scene demonstrates integration between traditional UI elements (Flex and Text) and 3D Canvas elements exploring the builder's lighting and material capabilities.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Key Components Used
|
|
- **Flex & Text**: Implemented a responsive text-based header ("The Invocation — Behold the sign and the...").
|
|
- **RadioGroup**: Added for UI-based control/selection.
|
|
- **Canvas & Meshes**:
|
|
- Used `sphereGeometry` instead of a box.
|
|
- Applied `meshPhongMaterial` for different lighting properties (shining/specular highlights).
|
|
- **Advanced Lighting**: Used both a `PointLight` and a `DirectionalLight` to create more complex shadows and highlights on the sphere.
|
|
- **OrbitControls**: Enabled interactive camera movement in the 3D space.
|
|
|
|
### Experiment 2: Complex UI & Tabs
|
|
A more complex UI structure focusing on structural components and tabbed layouts.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Key Components Used
|
|
- **Hierarchical Flex Layouts**: Nested multiple `Flex` containers to create a structured sidebar and content area.
|
|
- **Tabs System**: Implemented a full `Tabs` component including `TabsList`, `TabsTrigger`, and `TabsContent` for categories like "Fabrics" and "Jacket".
|
|
- **Form Elements**: Integrated `RadioGroup` and `RadioGroupItem` inside the tab content for user selections.
|
|
- **Visual Assets**: Included `Image` and `Text` blocks for a data-driven layout.
|
|
|
|
## Insights from the Experiment
|
|
|
|
These tests helped me understand how the builder handles:
|
|
- **Mixing UI & 3D**: Placing non-3D components (like `Flex`) alongside a 3D `Canvas`.
|
|
- **Complex UI Logic**: Utilizing `Tabs` to organize information in a clear, interactive way.
|
|
- **Phong Shading**: Observing how `meshPhongMaterial` reacts differently than the `meshStandardMaterial` used in the cube project.
|
|
- **Layer Organization**: Managing a more complex hierarchy with multiple nested components across the UI and 3D layers.
