Bored of static content? CubeLaunch lets you embed interactive 3D cubes and pyramids powered by WebGL—via a Gutenberg block, a shortcode, or a site‑wide “Coming Soon” overlay.
Key features 
* Interactive 3D: drag to spin (X/Y) with inertia; pinch to zoom on touch devices. 
* Cubes & pyramids with custom faces (images from the Media Library; built‑in 1:1 cropper). 
* Gutenberg block with Small / Medium / Large presets + optional background‑color override. 
* Shortcode to embed anywhere shortcodes are supported. 
* Mobile‑friendly scrolling: on phones we add slim, invisible “scroll rails” around the canvas so the page still scrolls naturally even when the cube is under your thumb (side rails via CSS; top/bottom rails via a tiny JS helper). All adjustable via CSS variables. 
* Coming Soon overlay (optional): a full‑page teaser with your shape, copy and a form (shortcodes/HTML).
Quick mobile tips 
– Want smaller cubes on phones? Set <code>--cl-mobile-size</code> per instance (or change the global defaults in <code>:root</code>). 
– Want easier scrolling near the cube? We already add invisible “rails” on phones. Tweak <code>--cl-rail-width</code> (sides) and <code>--cl-rail-height</code> (top/bottom). Set them to <code>0</code> to disable. 
Note: Mobile “rails” affect embedded cubes (Block/Shortcode), not the Coming Soon overlay.
Why Choose CubeLaunch?
Whether you’re looking to create a unique product highlight, an engaging call-to-action, or simply add a touch of interactive flair to your website, CubeLaunch provides an easy-to-use solution.

Ideal for portfolios, digital agencies, product launches, or any site wanting to make a memorable first impression.
CubeLaunch Pro (optional) 
Unlock extras when you need them: 
* Video textures for dynamic faces

<h3>Basic Usage</h3>
A) Coming Soon overlay 
– Admin → CubeLaunch → Coming Soon Settings. 
– Configure the shape + faces, text, and (optionally) a signup form (shortcode or HTML). 
– Enable the overlay. Visitors who aren’t logged in will see your Coming Soon page.
B) Gutenberg Block – Reusable shapes (CPT) for Posts & Pages 
– Admin → CubeLaunch → Shapes for Pages & Posts → Add New Shape Configuration. 
– Choose Cube or Pyramid, set faces/background, Publish. 
– In the block editor, search for and insert the “CubeLaunch Shape” block and pick your saved configuration. 
– Adjust “Small / Medium / Large” in block settings.
C) Shortcodes 
– On the same Shapes for Pages & Posts screen, each saved shape shows a shortcode you can paste into page builders, widgets, or classic editor. 
– Example (paste literally):
<pre><code> [cubelaunch_shape id="123"]
</code></pre>
<ul>
<li>
You can add your own class for per‑instance CSS:
[cubelaunch_shape id=”123″ class=”my-promo-cube”]
</li>
</ul>

CubeLaunch

Embed interactive, rotatable, pinch and zoom 3D cubes or pyramids with custom faces via Gutenberg blocks, shortcodes, or a site-wide Coming Soon page.

WPXERO

Animation Kit lets you add a moving WebGL background to any WordPress page — a particle field, an aurora wash, a sweeping radar pulse — from a single admin screen. No theme editing, no shortcodes, no CSS. Pick an effect, tune the colors and motion, save, and your visitors see a smooth canvas layer behind your content.
The plugin is builder-agnostic: it renders at the document level, so it cooperates with classic themes, block themes, Elementor, Bricks, WPBakery, and Gutenberg page builds without needing a per-builder integration.
<h3>How it works</h3>
You get a dedicated Background Animation screen inside the WP admin. From there:
<ol>
<li>Pick one of 13 free effects (full list below).</li>
<li>Adjust the live controls — colors, speed, density, opacity, z-index, position.</li>
<li>Toggle the background on. The canvas appears site-wide.</li>
</ol>
The free tier targets the whole website (single configuration). Pro adds multiple stacked configurations and per-page placement rules.
<h3>Effects included in the free version</h3>
<ul>
<li>Antigravity — Magnetic particle field that reacts to pointer movement. Good for tech, SaaS, and sci-fi-style hero sections.</li>
<li>Aurora — Flowing color washes. Suits portfolios, night-mode brands, and creative agencies.</li>
<li>Color Bends — Multi-stop color gradient with noise warp and slow rotation. Works as a brand backdrop.</li>
<li>Grid Scan — Animated grid with a sweep line. Tech, cyber, and dashboard aesthetics.</li>
<li>Line Waves — Concentric line waves with color cycling. Graphic, poster-like.</li>
<li>Liquid Ether — Fluid simulation that ripples and bends with cursor movement. Most “wow” of the set.</li>
<li>Particles — Drifting particle systems with configurable count, color, and spread.</li>
<li>Pixel Blast — Animated pixel patterns (square, circle, triangle) with optional click-ripples. Retro and game-style.</li>
<li>Plasma — Classic plasma shader with direction, scale, and color. Soft demoscene feel.</li>
<li>Prism — Rotating 3D prism with bloom. Crystalline, futuristic.</li>
<li>Radar — Sweep-style radar visualization with ring and spoke controls.</li>
<li>Soft Aurora — Lower-intensity aurora with two-color gradient. Easier on small-screen viewers.</li>
<li>Light Pillar — Vertical light column with adjustable glow, width, height, and rotation. Good for landing-page focal points.</li>
</ul>
Each effect has its own controls; you only ship the code for the effect you enable (lazy-loaded chunk per effect, not a single fat bundle).
<h3>Use cases</h3>
<ul>
<li>Hero sections that need motion without an animated video.</li>
<li>Landing pages where you want a moving backdrop behind a CTA.</li>
<li>Portfolios and agency sites that want a signature visual.</li>
<li>Conference, course, and event sites that want a “live” feel.</li>
<li>Dark-mode marketing pages where Aurora or Light Pillar adds depth.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Performance and Core Web Vitals</h3>
Animation Kit is built around lazy loading. The frontend script only ships when a background is enabled; the heavy rendering code (Three.js, OGL, the per-effect shader) is split into separate chunks loaded on demand after <code>DOMContentLoaded</code>. On mobile, particle counts and pixel ratios are clamped automatically.
Compatibility filters are registered for WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache, Autoptimize, W3 Total Cache, and WP Fastest Cache so their delay-JS / combine-JS / minify rules don’t break the lazy chunks.
<h3>Accessibility</h3>
<ul>
<li>The canvas wrapper is <code>aria-hidden="true"</code> and <code>pointer-events: none</code> — assistive tech ignores it, and visitors can still click links, forms, and menus through it.</li>
<li><code>prefers-reduced-motion: reduce</code> is honored: when the user’s OS preference is set, the WebGL mount is skipped entirely. If the preference is toggled off during a session, the animation mounts at that point.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Animation Kit Pro</h3>
When the free tier stops fitting, Pro adds:
<ul>
<li>Multiple background configurations stacked or rotated on the same site.</li>
<li>Per-page placement rules — specific pages, CSS selectors, or HTML element targets.</li>
<li>Premium roadmap access and priority support.</li>
</ul>
