lightweight-3d-effects

lightweight-3d-effects is a skill for Claude Code from freshtechbro/claudedesignskills. It costs 110 tokens per session (6,812 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to adding lightweight depth effects and motion to web pages with Zdog, Vanta.js, and Vanilla-Tilt.js. These libraries can draw pseudo-3D illustrations, animate backgrounds, and tilt elements in response to movement.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for decorative 3D illustrations, animated backgrounds, parallax effects, tilt interactions, landing pages, and small interface animations.
Why use it?
It provides ready approaches for adding visual depth and small interactions without adopting a large 3D framework.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

lightweight-3d-effects scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (assets/starter_lightweight/main.js, scripts/generate_zdog.py, scripts/setup_vanta.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

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

Zdog - Pseudo-3D Illustrations

Core Concepts

Zdog is a pseudo-3D engine that renders flat, round designs in 3D space using Canvas or SVG.

Key Features:

  • Designer-friendly declarative API
  • Small file size (~28kb minified)
  • Canvas or SVG rendering
  • Drag rotation built-in
  • Smooth animations

Basic Setup

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <script src="https://unpkg.com/zdog@1/dist/zdog.dist.min.js"></script>
  <style>
    .zdog-canvas {
      display: block;
      margin: 0 auto;
      background: #FDB;
      cursor: move;
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <canvas class="zdog-canvas" width="240" height="240"></canvas>

  <script>
    let isSpinning = true;

    let illo = new Zdog.Illustration({
      element: '.zdog-canvas',
      zoom: 4,
      dragRotate: true,
      onDragStart: function() {
        isSpinning = false;
      },
    });

    // Add shapes
    new Zdog.Ellipse({
      addTo: illo,
      diameter: 20,
      translate: { z: 10 },
      stroke: 5,
      color: '#636',
    });

    new Zdog.Rect({
      addTo: illo,
      width: 20,
      height: 20,
      translate: { z: -10 },
      stroke: 3,
      color: '#E62',
      fill: true,
    });

    function animate() {
      illo.rotate.y += isSpinning ? 0.03 : 0;
      illo.updateRenderGraph();
      requestAnimationFrame(animate);
    }
    animate();
  </script>
</body>
