Grid Genius: Pixar-Style 3D App Story

Make a similar video

Expressive 3D letter tiles tell a small story on a crossword board before resolving into Grid Genius branding. The viewer follows a character before connecting the letters to the product.

Your goal: Make a short 3D character story connected to your product, with branding at an appropriate moment. This work belongs to the Claude Opus 5.5 video collection. Select Claude Opus 5.5 in an AI coding tool that supports it and submit the assets and requests below in stages. The model plans, writes and edits code; the actual project handles preview/export. Voice and music need suitable tools or supplied audio.

The stored request explicitly asks for Three.js/JavaScript. Start with a simple scene and one character, approving appearance and motion before expanding; “Pixar-level” expresses an aspiration, not a verified guarantee.

Prepare your assets

• A product-related character object, such as a letter, block, card or tool.
• Four story beats: character, obstacle, action and resolution.
• Scene references, logo, target ratio and available model/font files.

Put files in a directory AI can read, such as assets/, and explain each filename and purpose. Specify ratio, duration and publishing destination. If you supply only a URL, ask what content is accessible before assuming any functionality.

Replace elements for your product

Element in the sample or creator brief	Your replacement
Expressive letter tiles	Characters based on your product elements
Crossword board	A task environment connected to your product
Letters finding their places	A story outcome connected to product use
Grid Genius ending	Your brand and one positioning line

A task manager could show a lost task card finding its board position; an education product could show a puzzle piece finding its companions. Tie actions to the product’s problem.

Lock character materials, proportions and camera logic; make the story readable before refining lighting.

Start with this shot plan

This is an editorial draft, not a frame-by-frame reconstruction. Approve assets and copy for each scene, adjusting durations to the information load.

1. 0–6s: establish the character and goal.
2. 6–16s: one obstacle.
3. 16–26s: action and resolution.
4. 26–30s: outcome and brand.

Make it with AI in four steps

Editorial suggestion; not reproduction-tested. Fill in brackets and approve each preview before continuing. The creator’s film is not a downloadable project template.

1. Check assets and plan shots.

I am using Claude Opus 5.5 to make a video for [my product].
Goal: Make a short 3D character story connected to your product, with branding at an appropriate moment.
Audience: [people]. Ratio and duration: [requirements]. Assets: [directory].
Read my product brief, identity and assets. List confirmed features and missing files.
Use the draft above to plan visuals, short headings, asset files, durations and transitions.
Lock character materials, proportions and camera logic; make the story readable before refining lighting.
Provide the shot list before producing the full film.

2. Make one sample. After approving the plan and file paths, send:

The shot list is approved. Preview five seconds of one character noticing an obstacle; check whether the expression reads clearly.
Production approach: The stored request explicitly asks for Three.js/JavaScript. Start with a simple scene and one character, approving appearance and motion before expanding; “Pixar-level” expresses an aspiration, not a verified guarantee.
Check dependencies and assets in this environment and provide the actual preview method.
Identify missing tools, models or audio rather than presenting placeholders as finished work.
Deliver this sample preview first, then list the files needed for the full film.

3. Complete the remaining scenes. Approve type, colors, asset proportions and pacing first:

Complete the other shots using the approved sample's visual rules.
Lock character materials, proportions and camera logic; make the story readable before refining lighting.
Match headings, actions and audio cues. If audio is unavailable, provide a silent preview first.
Keep product name, logo, screen assets, colors and final action in easily editable configuration.
Provide full playback and key transition stills, identifying unfinished parts.

4. Review and export. Check copy and assets on a phone, then send:

Apply the approved changes and export, retaining editable source and asset references.
Provide this project's actual export command, prerequisites and output file location.
Check final MP4 duration, ratio, text clipping and audio instead of relying only on browser preview.
Deliver a contact sheet and list remaining limitations.

Revise the film and fix problems

Name the shot and change instead of requesting vague improvements that reset approved pacing:

Replace the letter character with [my product element], keeping the story. Preview front, side and expressions before adapting the animation.

For a 9:16 version, recompose headings, the main subject and final action. Preview the new layout rather than cropping the sides. To shorten the film, remove secondary shots or sentences before retiming.

• The story hides the product: add one final line connecting the story and function.
• 3D rendering is slow: simplify characters, lights and geometry; approve low-resolution motion before final export.

Creator source and reproduction limits

The post mentions Opus 5.5. The collected request asks for a Grid Genius-related story animated in Three.js/JavaScript, without a supplied 3D project. View the original post.

Visual descriptions come from the collected video; production details come from the stored request and post. They do not constitute testing of the current product. Shot plans, adaptations and expanded requests are editorial suggestions and have not been generated or tested. Supply your own assets and production environment when the original project is unavailable.
