I Built an Animated Product Website in 10 Minutes using AI (Google Anti-Gravity)
How to Create 3D AI Product-Based Websites
Introduction to the Project
- The video aims to teach viewers how to create scroll-based websites for specific products, such as mango juice or Dutch chocolate.
- The tutorial will utilize Google Anti-gravity for building and Netlify for hosting the website on a temporary URL.
- A prompt pack is provided in the description, which includes prompts for visuals and website creation.
Setting Up Visuals
- The process begins by sourcing an image of a mango drink from the web, specifically looking for images of "Maza."
- Users are instructed to use Google Whisk to manage their project and generate visuals based on selected prompts.
- Emphasis is placed on centering the product in images before generating them; users can opt for different platforms like Freepic if needed.
Generating Background and Video Visuals
- Viewers are guided to create a blank image that serves as a start frame while using another selected visual as an end frame.
- Instructions include using Freepic or Flow (if credits allow), with prompts tailored for video visuals generation.
- A detailed prompt is provided, focusing on creating high-quality dynamic backgrounds that enhance visual appeal.
Finalizing Visual Outputs
- Users are prompted to set up their project folder in Google Anti-gravity named "Maza" and check progress on visual generation.
- Once visuals are generated, they should be exported and converted into GIF format before being transformed into individual frames suitable for scrolling animations.
Creating Scrolling Animation Setup
- The final output involves selecting 25 frames per second (FPS), converting them into JPG format, and downloading them as a zip file named "mango juice."
- The tutorial emphasizes creating a professional scrolling setup rather than looping videos, enhancing user experience through dynamic interactions.
How to Host a Website on Netlify
Setting Up the Project
- The process begins by moving the necessary file into the "maza" folder and pasting the prompt in anti-gravity. The hash for mango juice is typically found in this folder.
- Next, it's essential to host your project on Netlify or another permanent hosting provider while waiting for the website to be built out.
Deploying on Netlify
- A temporary domain has been deployed on Netlify, demonstrating that it functions similarly to how it operates locally. The example shows Dutch chocolate being blended with fresh ingredients.
- To host your website built on anti-gravity, you can either push changes to GitHub or extract the project files directly onto Netlify for a simpler setup.
Building and Uploading Files
- For a straightforward deployment, extract the entire project file and upload it to Netlify, which will provide a temporary URL.
- Inside anti-gravity, run
npm run buildto create static files needed for hosting. This command prepares an output folder containing all necessary files.
Finalizing Deployment
- After building, navigate to Netlify and select "add a new project," then choose "deploy manually." Upload the output folder created earlier.
- Once uploaded, you'll receive a temporary deployed URL from Netlify. The tutorial concludes with an overview of creating effective product-based 3D websites.
