Building & apps Claude + Higgsfield

Four websites to build with Claude x Higgsfield

Hey, it's Cindy ๐ŸŒฑ Four immersive website heroes that look like expensive 3D, all built the same simple way: you make your visuals in Higgsfield, then Claude brings them to life. No 3D engine, no hand coding. All four are below, take the one you want.
Get 100 free Higgsfield credits Connect Higgsfield to Claude via MCP
๐ŸŽ The offer, plainly: connect Higgsfield to Claude as an MCP connector through the link above and you get 100 free credits, enough to generate everything in this guide. New to MCP? It is a one-time setup that lets Claude use Higgsfield directly.

Start here: the whole trick ๐Ÿง 

Every site below runs on one simple idea. Three of them take a short video and move it forward or backward based on what you do, like your finger dragging a slider. The fourth (the secret reveal) does the same thing with two images instead of a video. Either way, your cursor, your hand, or the scroll bar becomes the slider, and that is what makes a flat page feel like a living 3D world.

๐Ÿ“‹ Every prompt here is copy-paste ready. Paste it into Claude as it is and it builds. Curious what a part actually does? Ask Claude to explain it line by line. That is how copying turns into building your own.

The two sites that put a raw video on the page (the 3D world and the parallax scroll) need one small bit of prep first, and it is the only slightly techie part of the whole guide:

โšก Make the video jump to any moment instantly. Picture a normal video like a book with only a few bookmarks in it: to land on an exact page, it has to flip forward from the nearest bookmark, which feels slow and jumpy. There is a one-time fix that puts a bookmark on every single frame, so the video can jump to any exact moment instantly and the whole effect glides. You do not do this by hand: the build prompts tell Claude to handle it for you.

You never need to see this, but for the curious, here is the exact one-time command Claude runs for you:

what Claude runs for you
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -an -c:v libx264 -crf 20 -g 1 -keyint_min 1 \
  -x264-params "keyint=1:min-keyint=1:scenecut=0" -pix_fmt yuv420p \
  -movflags +faststart hero.mp4
๐Ÿ•’ One rule of thumb: keep every clip short (5 to 8 seconds). This kind of video is heavy, and a short clip is what keeps your site fast.

The interactive secret reveal portfolio ๐ŸŒฑ

A dark portfolio hero where a cursor reveals a hidden helmeted chrome version of a face underneath
the secret reveal: your cursor paints a hidden version of you into view
โ–ถ Play with my live demo

A hero where someone drags their mouse across your face and a chrome version of you ripples into view underneath. It looks 3D, but it is just two flat images stacked, and your cursor paints a soft hole through the top one.

  1. ๐ŸŒฑ Generate your portrait In Higgsfield, upload a clear, front-on photo of yourself and make a clean studio portrait on a black background.
  2. ๐Ÿชž Generate the chrome layer Feed that portrait back in and make a chrome or helmeted version. The two images have to line up perfectly, same size and same position, or the reveal looks off. That lining-up is the whole trick.
  3. ๐ŸŽ›๏ธ Build the reveal Stack the two images in a free drag-and-drop effects tool (Unicorn Studio, no coding), or skip that and have Claude build the reveal from scratch (free, no watermark).
  4. ๐Ÿ’ป Wrap it into a page Paste the effect into Claude with one prompt and it builds the whole landing page around it.
๐Ÿ’ฌ One prompt gets you most of the way, not always all of it. Keep chatting with Claude to finish it off ("make the reveal softer", "slow the trail down", "fix it on mobile"). That back and forth is the build.
๐Ÿ“– Full step-by-step, with both prompts and the exact effect settings: Build an interactive ripple landing page.

The hand-tracking paper scrunch website โœ‹

A black portfolio page with a papercraft portrait that crumples when you close your hand on webcam
the paper scrunch: close your fist on webcam and the portrait crumples in real time
โ–ถ Play with my live demo

A black portfolio page where a papercraft portrait of you crumples into a paper ball as you close your fist, live on your webcam. Same trick as the rest, with your hand as the slider instead of your cursor.

  1. ๐Ÿ–ผ๏ธ Make the flat portrait In Higgsfield, use Seedream with a few photos of yourself to make a papercraft sculpture portrait on black.
  2. ๐ŸคŒ Crush it into a video Give that portrait to Seedance as the start frame and prompt the whole sculpture to slowly scrunch into a paper ball, one continuous take.
  3. ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Wire it up in Claude One build prompt adds the webcam hand-tracking (it sets this up for you) so opening and closing your hand plays the video forward and back, keyframe fix included.
๐Ÿ“– Full step-by-step, with all three prompts: Build a website your hand can control. (The demo opens your webcam.)

The 3D world website ๐ŸŒŒ

An immersive glowing fantasy forest website you explore by moving your mouse
the 3D world: move your mouse and the camera glides across the scene

A full-screen world you explore by moving your mouse left and right. It feels like a game engine, but it is just a video of a slow camera glide, moved by your cursor's position. Mouse to the left, the camera is at the start of the pan. Mouse to the right, it is at the end.

๐Ÿงช Honest heads-up: this is one of the two newer ones, and I have not shipped my own version yet. The prompt gets you a real working starting point, but expect some back and forth with Claude to nail the feel. I will refine this properly with a real build in my next campaign.
  1. ๐ŸŽฌ Generate the world video In Higgsfield, pick a video model built for one smooth continuous take (Seedance, or Cinema Studio 3.5). For the most control, generate a still of your world first, then animate it as the start frame. Add a single slow sideways camera move (its DoP camera presets, like Dolly Right), and run it through Higgsfield's AI Background Video Generator so you get a seamless loop with the center kept clear for text.
  2. ๐ŸŒŒ The prompt Slow and steady is everything here.
๐ŸŒŒ the world video
Slow continuous lateral camera glide moving steadily left to right through a
glowing bioluminescent forest. Towering trees with softly pulsing teal and violet
fungi, drifting spores and floating light motes, gentle volumetric god rays, low
mist along the ground. The camera trucks sideways at one single constant slow speed,
like a smooth dolly on rails, one uninterrupted take. No cuts, no scene changes, no
zoom, no camera shake, no whip pan, no flashing. Dreamy cinematic atmosphere, deep
depth of field, soft focus background, calm and hypnotic. Even ambient motion
throughout, loop friendly.
๐ŸŽจ Swap the forest for an underwater coral reef, a fantasy crystal cave, a city skyline, anything. Keep the "camera trucks sideways at one constant slow speed" and the "no cuts" lines exactly, they are what protect the effect.
  1. ๐Ÿ’ป The build prompt Save your clip as world.mp4, open Claude Code in that folder, and paste this. No Claude Code? Paste it into regular Claude, download the HTML, and put it next to your video.
๐Ÿ’ป the whole site, one prompt
Build me a single self-contained index.html: a full-screen "3D world explore" hero.
Put world.mp4 as a fixed, full-viewport background (object-fit: cover, muted,
playsinline, preload="auto", with a poster image). Keep the video PAUSED and drive
it with the mouse: map the cursor's horizontal position across the screen to the
video timeline, so mouse far left seeks the first frame and mouse far right seeks
the last frame, opening centered on the middle. Do the scrubbing inside a
requestAnimationFrame loop that eases currentTime toward the target (a lerp) so the
camera glides instead of snapping. Never set currentTime directly in the mousemove
event, and guard the scrub until loadedmetadata so duration is never NaN. Layer a
short headline and nav over the top with z-index. On touch devices or when
prefers-reduced-motion is set, do not scrub: quietly autoplay-loop the video
instead, or show the poster. Also re-encode my video with ffmpeg using
-x264-params keyint=1:min-keyint=1 -pix_fmt yuv420p so every frame is a keyframe and
the scrub is instant, and extract the first frame as poster.jpg (ffmpeg -frames:v 1)
to use as the poster. Then run it and show me a preview.
๐Ÿšซ What breaks it: hard scene cuts, fast whip pans, or flashing in the video. Any of those make it jump. One slow move, one continuous take, every time. (A straight pan will not auto-loop perfectly, but since you drive it by hand you never notice. For a true loop, use a 360 orbit instead.)

The parallax scroll website ๐ŸŽž๏ธ

A cinematic scroll website where a portrait dissolves into drifting particles as you scroll
the parallax scroll: a video that plays as you scroll, so a flat page feels 3D

A hero that plays a cinematic video as you scroll down the page. Scroll a little, the video moves a little. It looks like a 3D scene rendering in real time, but it is literally just a video whose timeline is tied to your scroll bar. This is the easiest of the four to make.

๐Ÿงช Honest heads-up: like the 3D world, this is a newer experiment I have not shipped yet, so treat the prompts as a strong starting point and keep tweaking with Claude until it feels right. Once I build it for a campaign I will come back and refine this.
  1. ๐ŸŽฌ Generate the hero video In Higgsfield, make a slow cinematic clip: a portrait dissolving into particles, a gentle push-in, a product turning. Same rules as the 3D world: one continuous take, subtle motion, one camera move. Upload a start frame for control, and use the AI Background Video Generator for a clean loop.
  2. ๐ŸŽž๏ธ The prompt Slow, one continuous take, same rules as the world video.
๐ŸŽž๏ธ the scroll video
Start from a calm portrait on a dark studio background. The face slowly dissolves
into fine drifting particles from one side, dust and tiny fragments lifting gently
and floating away in slow motion while the rest of the face stays intact. Soft
directional light, subtle glowing embers, deep black backdrop. The camera holds one
slow steady push in, one continuous take. No cuts, no flashing, no fast bursts.
Elegant, ethereal, cinematic. Even slow motion throughout, loop friendly.
๐ŸŽฌ It does not have to be a face. Almost any animation works: a product building itself piece by piece, a room assembling around you, a landscape unfolding, a logo forming. Whatever your video shows, your scroll plays it. Just swap the clip.
๐Ÿ” A one-way effect like a dissolve or a push-in does not loop, but since your scroll drives it you never notice. For a hero that loops forever, prompt a product slowly rotating instead (its first and last frame match).
  1. ๐Ÿ’ป The build prompt Save your clip as hero.mp4, open Claude Code in that folder, and paste this.
๐Ÿ’ป the whole site, one prompt
Build me a single self-contained index.html: a cinematic scroll-video hero. Create a
tall scroll section (about 400vh) with an inner sticky wrapper pinned to the viewport
(position: sticky; top: 0; height: 100svh) holding hero.mp4 (object-fit: cover,
muted, playsinline, preload="auto", with a poster). Keep the video PAUSED and drive
its timeline by scroll: as I scroll through the tall section, map my progress from 0
to 1 onto the video from first frame to last frame. Do it inside a
requestAnimationFrame loop that eases currentTime toward the target (a lerp) so it
feels buttery, not jumpy. Never set currentTime directly in the scroll event, and
guard the math until loadedmetadata so duration is not NaN. Layer a headline over the
hero with z-index, and add a couple of normal page sections below it. On touch or
prefers-reduced-motion, skip the scrub and autoplay-loop the video or show the
poster. Also re-encode my video with ffmpeg using -x264-params keyint=1:min-keyint=1
-pix_fmt yuv420p so every frame is a keyframe and scrubbing is smooth, and extract
the first frame as poster.jpg (ffmpeg -frames:v 1) to use as the poster. Then run it
and show me a preview.
๐Ÿ’ก Want it slower and more cinematic? Ask Claude to make the scroll section taller (600vh). The same clip then plays out over more scrolling, so it feels more premium.

Cheat sheet: which video for which site ๐ŸŽฅ

๐ŸŒฑ Secret reveal Two matched still images from Higgsfield (a portrait and a chrome version). No video needed. Cursor reveals it.
โœ‹ Paper scrunch One slow crush video (Seedream still, then Seedance). Your hand controls it on webcam.
๐ŸŒŒ 3D world One slow sideways camera glide across a scene. Your mouse controls it left to right.
๐ŸŽž๏ธ Parallax scroll One slow push-in, dissolve, or rotation. Your scroll bar controls it top to bottom.
๐ŸŒฑ The honest bit: the visual is 90% of the result. Slow, smooth, one continuous take, no cuts. Get that right in Higgsfield and the Claude build just works. Get it fast or jumpy and no code can save it.
๐Ÿš€ To put your site online: drag its folder onto Netlify Drop (free, no account needed) and you get a live link to share in seconds.
๐Ÿค– New to Claude Code? It is the version of Claude that can actually create and save the website files for you, not just chat about them. It is free to start, and regular Claude works too (just download the HTML it gives you).
