Should animation simply catch attention, or invite interaction?
In the first version, the abstract form continuously transforms on its own. It keeps the hero section dynamic and atmospheric without requiring any action from the user.
In the second version, the object reacts to cursor movement through a parallax effect. The experience becomes more playful, immersive, and responsive.
One gives users something to watch. The other gives them something to influence.
Which approach works better for a hero section: automatic motion or interactive animation?

The option 1
Prototyping with real-world scenarios, even fictional ones, is one of the best ways to sharpen skills, so here's a "client-style" exercise: a website hero animation.
Keeping motion clean in hero sections is trickier than it looks. Every bit of movement needs to earn its place, or it just competes for attention instead of drawing people in.
This is a mockup solar flower hero, built and rendered in Blender using Eevee for fast real-time iteration. The animation itself is intentionally simple and the real focus here was on the rigging setup driving it.
this is so fascinating to watch in motion, excellent concept!
I created this launch video for Tony Bianco using both CGI and AI.
This is how I did it.
The background was generated with ChatGPT image gen 2, denoised with Gemini. Then, because AI video can reduce quality quite a bit and we wanted to have the people in the store moving, I animated the video with Seedance but mask cropped it so that the only visible part of the video is the store and the people inside moving.
For the banner animation, this was done completely with CGI, as well as the taxi.
The lighting was done well enough that everything in the scene feels real, but nothing was shot in real life!
Really clean work
