Three.js Developer: Animated Projector Beams + Animated Themed Effects (5 themes)

Posted 4 weeks ago

Worldwide

Summary

We have a decorative stone graphic at the bottom of our app's home screen, with a small themed effect animating at its two lower ends. Today it's a 15 MB image-sequence flipbook: heavy, blurry at 4K, can't be recolored. We're replacing it with procedural Three.js so it's tiny, sharp at any size, and re-themeable. Four things to know before you apply: 1. Built procedurally in Three.js (shaders/particles), live in the browser. No frames, video, sprite sheets, or GIFs ever, including AI video. 2. You author the motion in code. We don't hand you animation assets, just one static stone image. 3. It's a transparent overlay in front of our live app. 4. Five themes (vines, fire, stars, water, earth), each with an In / Idle / Out state. 15 short animations total. Stack: Next.js + TypeScript, Three.js, CSP-friendly. Delivered as a drop-in React component plus a demo page. We start with one theme as a paid checkpoint, then do the rest once we're aligned on style. To apply: - Confirm you'll build this as runtime Three.js shaders/particles, with no video or image sequences at any stage. - Share similar shader/particle work (fire, water, smoke, light). Live links ideal. - Give a rough per-theme estimate and your rate. Full spec will be shared once we align on scope/timeline/cost Reference images below: - the non-theme stone that serves as the base image - 2 concept images for what the vines/fire themes might look like
