Unicorn Studio — No-code WebGL Scenes (Embed/SDK) Skill

Name: unicorn-studio
Rating: 92
Author: MengTo

When to use

•Designers want custom WebGL visuals without hand-coding shaders/three.js
•You need “designed” effects layered with text/images/video, with built-in interactivity
•Site builders: Framer, Webflow, Wix, Figma Sites, etc.

What it is

•
A scene editor (layers + effects + events) that exports:
- •Embed via Unicorn Studio SDK (small JS library)
- •Or JSON/code export for faster/self-hosted loading (plan-dependent)

Key embed patterns

•
Load SDK (can be in <head> or footer depending on above-the-fold):
- •UMD from jsDelivr (versioned)
- •Call UnicornStudio.init() once DOM is ready
•
Add attributes to a container element:
- •data-us-project="PROJECT_ID"
- •
  Optional performance/behavior params:
  - •data-us-scale (render scale)
  - •data-us-dpi (resolution multiplier)
  - •data-us-fps (cap FPS)
  - •data-us-lazyload="true"
  - •data-us-production="true"
- •
  Optional JSON source:
  - •data-us-project-src="https://.../scene.json.txt"

Events (authoring-side)

•Appear (entrance), Scroll (progress/velocity), Hover, Mousemove
•Use events for “feels interactive” without writing JS.

Common pitfalls

•
Container has no defined dimensions → scene won’t display
- •Ensure the element with data-us-project has width/height.
•
Too many scenes on one page → WebGL context limits + memory
- •Prefer <10 scenes/page; WebGL context max ~16.
•
Performance on low-end devices
- •Use data-us-scale/data-us-dpi/data-us-fps; reduce dynamic layers/effects.
•
Site builder preview limitations
- •Many builders won’t render in edit mode; must preview/publish to see it.

Quick recipes

1) Basic embed container

html

<div style="width: 100%; height: 420px" data-us-project="YOUR_PROJECT_ID"></div>

2) Performance-first embed

html

<div
  style="width: 100%; height: 420px"
  data-us-project="YOUR_PROJECT_ID"
  data-us-lazyload="true"
  data-us-production="true"
  data-us-scale="0.75"
  data-us-dpi="1.25"
  data-us-fps="45"
></div>

What to ask the user

•Target platform: Webflow / Framer / coded site?
•Is the scene above-the-fold? (affects script placement and lazyload)
•Mobile support requirement + acceptable quality/FPS
•Number of scenes on the page and whether JSON export is available
