Description
Code 3 lets you embed multi-object, interactive 3D scenes into your WordPress site using a simple shortcode.
Ideal for developers, designers, and digital creatives who want to create engaging 3D web experiences — without hardcoding them into templates.
Features
- Upload multiple GLB models to a scene and change their transforms (position, rotation, scale)
- Add images from media library as objects in the scene (fully transformable)
- Embed 3D scenes via shortcode
- Mousemove and scroll interaction
- Switch between Orthographic and Isometric camera
- Build a seperate composition for a defined breakpoint
How It Works
- After clicking Add New Scene, you can add models by uploading GLB to the media library
- You can change all objects position/rotation/scale in the scene editor
- You change global settings like light intensity and scroll/mouse interaction
- Place the shortcode anywhere you want it to display
Shortcode Examples
[codes_scene id="39"]
By default the width will be 100% of the container the shortcode is placed and the height will be 500px
[codes_scene id="39" width="500px" height="30vh"]
Set custom height and width of the shortcode, accepts all CSS measurements.

Installation
Installing and activating via the plugin repository is all that’s needed.
Basic intro guides/tutorials coming soon.
FAQ
-
I added a model, why can’t I see it?
-
The most likely is the model size is huge/tiny. Try scaling it up or down (sometimes a lot).
-
Why is my model is completely black?
-
Either lighting or materials are not setup correctly. Try change the light intensity or toggle environment light. If it’s a material issue you need to fix the model in a 3D software e.g. blender or find a new one.
-
My scene looks smaller that I made it
-
The scene size is based on the height/width of the canvas. The editor canvas is large, almost the whole screen. You can either make the container that holds the shortcode bigger, change the width/height values in the shortcode itself or adjust scales of objects in the editor.
-
My scene looks broken on mobile
-
Within the editor you can move all objects into a different layout (click mobile view at the top of the builder UI) beyond a defined breakpoint (set via setting icon in top right of builder). If you want to stop this happening, just set the breakpoint to something tiny like 1px.
-
What model formats are accepted?
-
Just glb/gltf for now. More coming soon.
