I created a MIND-BLOWING PowerPoint with 3D Models 🤯

Summary

The video demonstrates how to create a cinematic PowerPoint presentation using a 3D model and the Morph transition. The presenter also explains how to find visual inspiration and use a design-template website to create slide assets.

Finding and Preparing Design Assets

• The presenter browses online for visual references, then adapts the fonts, colors, and style to suit the presentation.
• They demonstrate Kittl, a template website with editable designs for items such as book covers, logos, and thumbnails.
• To create a title slide in Kittl, they make a 1920 × 1080 artboard, copy and edit template elements, and download the result as an image. Kittl also offers image assets and AI image generation.
• For the 3D object, they use Sketchfab and recommend downloading a model in GLB format, which includes its textures.

Building the PowerPoint Slides

The presenter uses PowerPoint for Microsoft 365 to create a sequence of slides that animate smoothly with Morph.

1. Create the Opening Design

• Set a red gradient background.
• Add a large, centered “Deadpool” title in a condensed font with a white fill.
• Duplicate the title text, remove its fill, and add a white outline to create a layered text effect.

2. Set Up the Morph Transition

• Duplicate the slide.
• On the duplicate, change the background to white and move the title elements below the slide, spacing them apart.
• Apply the Morph transition. PowerPoint animates the elements between their positions on the two slides.

3. Add and Animate the 3D Model

• Insert the downloaded GLB model and choose a model view.
• Copy the model to the earlier slide.
• Adjust its size, position, and rotation across the slides.
• Apply Morph to animate the model between positions, creating a cinematic reveal.

4. Build a Content Slide

• Add text boxes, a gradient-filled shape, and a yellow circle.
• Use Bring to Front to keep the 3D model in front of other elements.
• Copy the new content elements to the preceding slide and place them outside the slide area. Morph animates them into view.

5. Create a Final Content Slide

• Duplicate the content slide.
• Remove unneeded text and move other elements off-slide.
• Resize and reposition the 3D model, then add an image and a content area with gray rectangles styled as bullet points.
• Copy these elements to the previous slide and place them off-slide so Morph animates them into their final positions.

Central Technique

Duplicate slides and place matching elements in different positions on each slide. Morph uses those changes to create motion without requiring manual animation for every object.
