Motion design primitives
Synthesizable in Remotion · key components of the ai-generative-design-launch template.
RefractivePrismReveal
A 3D glass prism refracts a white light beam into a rainbow spectrum, with the light source and prism rotating or moving to create dynamic color shifts.
+ Code construction recipe
Utilize Remotion's `ThreeCanvas` component for 3D rendering. Implement a `Shader` component for light refraction and chromatic dispersion. Animate prism rotation and light source position using `interpolate` with `spring` for smooth, realistic movement.
InteractiveShaderShowcase
Rapidly cuts between various interactive 3D scenes, demonstrating different shader effects like fluid simulations, fractals, and material properties, often with a mouse cursor interacting with UI elements.
+ Code construction recipe
Create multiple `Composition` components, each showcasing a different WebGPU demo. Use `Sequence` to rapidly switch between these compositions. Implement interactive elements using `useCurrentFrame` and `useVideoConfig` to simulate mouse input and UI state changes.
PixelatedHorizonWarp
A sweeping camera shot over a pixelated, low-resolution 3D ocean surface, with shimmering light reflections, creating an abstract, retro-futuristic aesthetic.
+ Code construction recipe
Render a 3D ocean scene using `ThreeCanvas`. Apply a pixelation post-processing shader or render at a low resolution and scale up. Animate camera position and rotation using `interpolate` with a smooth easing function to simulate a sweeping motion.

- 3
Artistic Interpretation
Purpose. To show the creative potential and artistic applications of the technology beyond pure utility.
Execution. The pixelated ocean scene, offering a more artistic and atmospheric demonstration of shader power.
- 4
Product Integration & Call to Action
Purpose. To ground the abstract demonstrations in the actual product and guide users to learn more.
Execution. Returning to the product landing page with clear text, reinforcing the brand and providing a path for engagement.

Objective
Launch a new AI-powered design tool called 'PixelFlow' that generates complex 3D models from text prompts.How the recipe adapts
The RefractivePrismReveal primitive would be adapted to a 'GenerativeNeuralNet' component, showing a glowing, interconnected network evolving and outputting abstract 3D forms. The InteractiveShaderShowcase would become 'AIModelPlayground', demonstrating real-time text-to-3D generation with UI sliders for 'creativity' and 'complexity'. The PixelatedHorizonWarp could be 'AIArtisticFilter', showing a generated 3D landscape being transformed with various artistic pixelation or voxelization filters. The overall pacing and clean UI integration would remain, but the content would focus on AI-driven design.Remix blueprint · ai-generative-design-launch
