How to Earn $2K-10K Building Scroll-World 3D Landing Pages
Apple does it. Nike does it. Every premium brand uses scroll-driven 3D landing pages where a camera flies through scenes as you scroll. These pages convert at 3-5x the rate of standard landing pages, but they cost $10,000-50,000 to build — until now.
A tool called scroll-world launched on GitHub in July 2026 and hit 8,000+ stars in five weeks. It turns any brand into a scroll-scrubbed 3D world landing page — the kind where the camera flows from outside each scene into its interior, then connects to the next scene with no visible cuts. One continuous flight through a generated world.
The tool runs inside AI coding agents like Claude Code and Codex. You describe a brand and its scenes, and it generates the entire experience: AI-created isometric art, camera flight videos, and a scroll engine that ties everything together. The output is a web page that drops into any framework.
What scroll-world Produces
The tool creates what designers call a "scroll-through world." Imagine a user scrolling down a landing page. Instead of sections sliding up, a 3D camera flies toward a building, enters it, passes through a workspace, exits through a window, and glides to the next building. Every transition is seamless — no cuts, no loading screens.
Each scene is an AI-generated isometric diorama. The camera flight between scenes is rendered from AI-generated video clips, frame-locked so the exit of one scene and the entrance of the next are pixel-identical. A scroll engine ties all clips together so the user controls the camera movement by scrolling.
The result looks like a million-dollar agency production. The actual cost to produce: roughly $20-50 in AI generation credits per project (Higgsfield for image generation, Monid for video clip generation).
The Market for 3D Landing Pages
| Client Type | What They Pay | Why They Need It |
|---|---|---|
| Tech startups (Series A-B) | $2,000-5,000 | Investor demos, product launches |
| E-commerce brands | $3,000-7,000 | Product reveal pages, seasonal campaigns |
| Real estate developers | $4,000-10,000 | Property walkthroughs, virtual tours |
| Event and conference organizers | $2,000-5,000 | Event promotion, sponsor showcases |
| Marketing agencies (white label) | $1,500-3,000 | Reselling to their own clients at 2-3x markup |
How to Price Your Work
Your cost per project is low — $20-50 in generation credits plus your time. The value you deliver is high — a landing page that would cost $10,000-50,000 from a traditional agency. Price in the middle.
| Project Scope | Scenes | Your Price | Delivery Time | Credit Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Basic (3 scenes, desktop only) | 3 | $1,500-2,500 | 2-3 days | ~$15-25 |
| Standard (5 scenes, desktop + mobile) | 5 | $3,000-5,000 | 4-5 days | ~$25-40 |
| Premium (7+ scenes, custom branding) | 7+ | $5,000-10,000 | 1-2 weeks | ~$40-60 |
| Enterprise (10+ scenes, revisions) | 10+ | $8,000-15,000 | 2-3 weeks | ~$50-80 |
The mobile version is a key upsell. scroll-world renders a parallel 9:16 portrait chain specifically composed for phones — not a crop of the desktop version. Clients who initially want desktop-only will pay 30-50% more when they see the mobile demo.
Finding Clients
Approach 1: Portfolio-first outreach. Build 3 demo pages for well-known brands (use their existing branding as reference). Publish them on your portfolio site. Then email decision-makers at similar companies with a link: "I built this 3D experience for [Brand X]. I can create the same for [Your Company]. Price: $3,000. Delivery: 5 days." You are not asking for permission to start — you are showing finished work.
Approach 2: Agency partnerships. Digital marketing agencies get client requests for "something like Apple's website" regularly. They cannot deliver it because they lack 3D expertise. Offer to white-label your services at a 40-50% discount from retail. The agency marks it up and sells it to their clients. You get steady work without doing sales.
Approach 3: Product Hunt and launch pages. Startups launching on Product Hunt need a landing page that stands out. A scroll-through 3D world is guaranteed to get attention. Charge $2,000-3,000 per launch page. You can find startups preparing launches by checking Product Hunt's upcoming list and reaching out 1-2 weeks before their launch date.
What You Need to Run scroll-world
The tool requires several components working together:
| Component | Cost | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| AI coding agent (Claude Code or Codex) | $20/month | Runs the skill, manages the pipeline |
| Higgsfield CLI | Pay per generation | Creates scene stills (AI image generation) |
| Monid CLI | ~$4-8 per video clip | Renders camera flights (Seedance 2.0) |
| ffmpeg | Free | Frame extraction and video encoding |
| Python 3 with Pillow | Free | Mobile portrait canvas processing |
A standard 6-scene project with mobile support generates approximately 6 stills + 11 video clips (scene dives + connectors), costing roughly $30-55 in total credits. Monid bills per clip, and the tool shows estimated costs before generating anything.
Income Projections
These are estimates based on current market rates for 3D web experiences and assume you spend 50% of your time on client work and 50% on sales and revisions.
| Phase | Projects/Month | Avg Revenue | Monthly Income |
|---|---|---|---|
| Month 1-2 (building portfolio) | 1-2 | $2,000-3,000 | $1,000-4,000 |
| Month 3-4 (first repeat clients) | 2-3 | $3,000-5,000 | $4,000-10,000 |
| Month 5-6 (referral pipeline) | 3-4 | $4,000-7,000 | $8,000-18,000 |
| Month 7+ (established) | 4-5 | $5,000-8,000 | $12,000-25,000 |
Common Mistakes
Skipping the mobile version. Over 60% of web traffic is mobile. A scroll-through world that only works on desktop loses more than half your client's visitors. Always include the portrait chain — it is the single biggest value-add you can offer.
Overpromising delivery speed. The AI generation takes time — each video clip renders in 2-10 minutes, and a 6-scene project has 11+ clips. Add to that the iteration cycles for art direction and client feedback. Quote 5-7 days minimum, even if you think you can do it in 3.
Underpricing because the tool is free. The tool being free does not mean your work is worth less. You are delivering a product that competes with $10,000-50,000 agency work. The value is in the result, not the tool. Never mention to clients what software you use — they are buying the outcome.
Not showing the mobile demo during sales calls. When you pitch a client, show both the desktop and mobile versions side by side. The mobile version is what closes deals — it demonstrates that the experience works everywhere, not just on a laptop.
The opportunity here is specific and time-limited. scroll-world is 5 weeks old. The number of freelancers offering this as a service is near zero. In 6-12 months, template marketplaces and no-code tools will commoditize this. The people who start now will have portfolios, case studies, and client relationships by then.
