Lightweight 3D Effects Skill
Overview
This skill combines three powerful libraries for decorative 3D elements and micro-interactions:
- Zdog: Pseudo-3D engine for designer-friendly vector illustrations
- Vanta.js: Animated 3D backgrounds powered by Three.js/p5.js
- Vanilla-Tilt.js: Smooth parallax tilt effects responding to mouse/gyroscope
When to Use This Skill
- Add decorative 3D illustrations without heavy frameworks
- Create animated backgrounds for hero sections
- Implement subtle parallax tilt effects on cards/images
- Build lightweight landing pages with visual depth
- Add micro-interactions that enhance UX without performance impact

threejs-webgl
Comprehensive skill for Three.js 3D web development. Use this skill when building interactive 3D scenes, WebGL/WebGPU applications, product configurators, 3D visualizations, or immersive web experiences. Triggers on tasks involving Three.js, 3D rendering, scenes, cameras, meshes, materials, lights, animations, textures, or WebGL/WebGPU rendering.
689pixijs-2d
Fast, lightweight 2D rendering engine for creating interactive graphics, particle effects, and canvas-based applications using WebGL/WebGPU. Use this skill when building 2D games, particle systems, interactive canvases, sprite animations, or UI overlays on 3D scenes. Triggers on tasks involving PixiJS, 2D rendering, sprite sheets, particle effects, filters, or high-performance canvas graphics. Alternative to Canvas2D with WebGL acceleration for rendering thousands of sprites at 60 FPS.
552animated-component-libraries
Pre-built animated React component collections combining Magic UI (150+ TypeScript/Tailwind/Motion components) and React Bits (90+ minimal-dependency animated components). Use this skill when building landing pages, marketing sites, dashboards, or interactive UIs requiring pre-made animated components instead of hand-crafting animations. Triggers on tasks involving animated UI components, Magic UI, React Bits, shadcn/ui integration, Tailwind CSS components, or component library selection. Alternative to manually implementing animations with Framer Motion or GSAP.
549blender-web-pipeline
Blender to web export workflows for 3D models and animations. Use this skill when exporting Blender models to glTF for web, optimizing 3D assets for Three.js or Babylon.js, batch processing models with Python scripts, automating Blender workflows, or creating web-ready 3D pipelines. Triggers on tasks involving Blender glTF export, bpy scripting, 3D asset optimization, model compression, texture baking, or Blender automation. Exports models for threejs-webgl, react-three-fiber, and babylonjs-engine skills.
540lottie-animations
After Effects animation rendering for web and React applications. Use this skill when implementing Lottie animations, JSON vector animations, interactive animated icons, micro-interactions, or loading animations. Triggers on tasks involving Lottie, lottie-web, lottie-react, dotLottie, After Effects JSON export, bodymovin, animated SVG alternatives, or designer-created animations. Complements GSAP ScrollTrigger and Framer Motion for scroll-driven and interactive animations.
534modern-web-design
Modern web design trends, principles, and implementation patterns for 2024-2025. Use this skill when designing websites, creating interactive experiences, implementing design systems, ensuring accessibility, or building performance-first interfaces. Triggers on tasks involving modern design trends, micro-interactions, scrollytelling, bold minimalism, cursor UX, glassmorphism, accessibility compliance, performance optimization, or design system architecture. References animation skills (GSAP, Framer Motion, React Spring), 3D skills (Three.js, R3F, Babylon.js), and component libraries for implementation guidance.
