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

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

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

2) Performance-first embed

<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
