Unicorn Studio makes WebGL — the shader-driven visual effects behind the web's most striking sites — accessible to designers who will never write GLSL. Stack layers on a familiar canvas, apply any of 70+ configurable effects, bind them to scroll, hover, and mouse movement, and embed the result in Framer, Webflow, or any site.

The production story is what makes it more than a toy: the runtime ships at roughly 29kb gzipped, and a built-in performance estimator scores your scene before you publish, so you know whether that liquid-metal hero will melt phones. It's already visible in the wild — Microsoft AI's hero section among them — which is unusual credibility for a tool this young.

The free tier includes all effects with 10 publishes; the $14/mo Legend plan adds unlimited publishes, commercial license, 3D model support, and video hosting. The honest caveat is restraint: WebGL effects are seasoning, not the meal, and the tool makes it very easy to over-season.

🐱 SAGE SAYS

The most fun I've had in a design tool this year, and the fastest route from 'boring hero section' to 'how did they do that.' Use one effect per page, tastefully — the tool won't stop you from doing eleven.
