Measured entry
uilayouts-creative-hover-card
hover-effect3dmotion on file
A hard-coded grid of dark promotional cards that swaps headings and local artwork on pointer hover. It ships as a shadcn registry component built with React, Next.js Image, and Tailwind utilities. The registry declares Motion, although the source does not import it, and the visuals depend on bundled WebP and noise assets.

Verdict
A usable visual starting point for a Next.js marketing grid, but not a polished reusable component. It mounts independently, yet missing asset requests, narrow-screen overflow, hover-only behavior, and a contrast issue make source cleanup and accessibility work necessary before production use.
Use it if
- You need a ready-made hover treatment for a dark marketing or feature section.
- Your Next.js project already uses Tailwind and can supply the expected local artwork.
- You are comfortable refactoring fixed copy and images into props or mapped data.
Skip it if
- The experience must fit narrow screens without horizontal overflow.
- Keyboard and touch users must receive an equivalent reveal interaction without custom work.
- You need accessible contrast without revisiting the muted body text.
- You want a configurable card that respects passed titles and children out of the box.
Install
| Declared dependencies | motion |
|---|---|
| Missing on install | none |
| Bare install | builds and mounts without the shadcn-style helpers |
| Provider | no provider required in the harness |
In a non-shadcn project, add the declared Motion package, React, Next.js Image support, and Tailwind CSS with the utility syntax used here. Copy the referenced WebP images and noise GIF into the public asset root, or replace those paths. No provider is required.
