## What it does

This skill builds a complete 3D scene where a camera slowly dollies forward past lit brand signs and lands on a title. The scene relies on Three.js with soft bloom via UnrealBloomPass, low-poly geometry, and wet reflective ground. Logos map directly onto canvas textures from attached files rather than generated placeholders. Every frame derives strictly from elapsed time, ensuring repeatable renders.

Everything compiles into a standalone `index.html` file. Audio is written directly in code, layering a low drone with ambient rain. The build will fail visually without proper brand assets: you must provide real logo files, fonts, and hex codes, or reference `brand.md` beforehand. Missing brand rules force the model to guess, which ruins the result.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add charlie947/motion-graphics-skills --skill title-sequence-3d -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/title-sequence-3d/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/title-sequence-3d/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add charlie947/motion-graphics-skills --skill title-sequence-3d -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/title-sequence-3d/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add charlie947/motion-graphics-skills --skill title-sequence-3d -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/title-sequence-3d/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install charlie947/motion-graphics-skills title-sequence-3d
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/title-sequence-3d/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add charlie947/motion-graphics-skills --skill title-sequence-3d -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/charlie947/motion-graphics-skills --path skills/title-sequence-3d
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/title-sequence-3d/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add charlie947/motion-graphics-skills --skill title-sequence-3d -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/charlie947/motion-graphics-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/title-sequence-3d/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- build a cinematic 3D title sequence in a single HTML file
- animate a smooth dolly camera move past illuminated signs
- synthesize ambient drone audio and rain effects in code
- prepare time-deterministic Three.js frames for video export

## Example prompts
- Build a 3D title sequence in index.html with a rainy night street and the attached logo.
- Generate an opener using Three.js where the camera dollies past glowing signs to my headline.

description: Make a cinematic 3D title sequence (8-15 seconds) in code with Claude Code and Three.js. A camera moves through a lit scene, such as a rainy street at night with brand names as neon signs, then a big question or title lands. Use when someone wants a scroll-stopping opener, a film-style intro, "3D intro", "cinematic opening", "title sequence" or a hook for a video, reel or newsletter.

# 3D title sequence, built in code

The first 3 seconds decide whether anyone watches. This skill builds a short cinematic opener: a camera moving through a lit 3D scene, ending on your question or title.

**Before you start:** read `brand.md` and `MOTION.md` if they exist. If not, run `brand-intake` first, or ask for hex codes, a font and a logo file. Never call a result on-brand without them.

## Step 1: Ask for four things, then wait

1. **The line** that lands at the end. Example: "Why does every brand logo look the same now?"
2. **The world.** One setting that fits the story: a night street, an empty office, a desk at 5am, a stage. Default: rainy street at night.
3. **The objects in it.** Real names or logos as signs, screens or posters. Logo files attached, never redrawn from memory.
4. **Brand and size.** One accent colour for the key word. 1920 x 1080 or 1080 x 1920.

## Review rules (from the rounds that got rejected)

- **Sound is not optional.** A silent explainer feels unfinished. Write a score in code: a low bed, a hit on each new shot, a lift on the last line.
- **Cards and images, not lines.** A single bar or line moving across the screen reads as static. Every shot uses cards, real images or objects that move in depth.
- **Logos fill their card** and come from the real files. A logo floating small in a big box looks wrong.
- **Keep grids symmetrical.** Equal card sizes, equal gaps. A lopsided layout reads as a mistake.
- **Stunning or it's not done.** If the first 3 seconds would not stop your own thumb, rebuild them before building the rest.

## Step 2: Build brief (paste into Claude Code)

```
Build one self-contained HTML file called index.html: a [SECONDS]-second cinematic 3D title sequence at [WIDTH] x [HEIGHT], using Three.js from a pinned version and only the files I attached.

Scene: [WORLD]. Low-poly buildings, wet reflective ground, fine rain. Each object I attached becomes a lit sign: draw the logo file onto a canvas texture, put it on a plane, and give it a soft bloom (UnrealBloomPass, subtle, never blown out).

Camera: one slow, steady dolly forward and slightly up, passing the signs. No shake, no spins.

Title: in the last third, [LINE] lands in bold condensed type, lower left, in white with [KEY WORDS] in [ACCENT]. Keep the ground under the title dark enough that reflections never show through the letters.
