Plain messages. Real 3D reels.
I didn't edit on a timeline, and I didn't open a 3D app. Every reel starts as a message to Claude.
- 1
Describe it
Write what the reel should explain, in normal words.
- 2
Claude builds it
The script, the 3D scene and the camera moves, step by step.

Voice, notes, post
Make the voice with a free AI tool, say what to change, then post.
Every reel was built in a chat, step by step. Shown here sped up: the six biggest reels on the channel.
8.3 million views. One reel.
I made every reel below by chatting with Claude, with the same steps the guide teaches. Here are the three biggest.
Swipe the reels. Tap one to see its views. Views and follows are from Instagram, as of 25 Oct 2026 (the guide adds TikTok views, so its numbers are higher). The guide teaches you how to make the videos. Nobody can promise you views.
Before you start: 2 things.
Plus a free Google account for the AI voice (page 22).
Claude Pro
$20 a month. Every step in the guide is built for it.
A computer or a phone
Either one works. The setup pages cover Mac, Windows and phone, one by one.
A peek inside. The rest is yours.
Every page works the same way: what to do, the message to send Claude, and what good looks like. Big type and short steps, so you can keep it open next to your chat.

Three doubts, answered.
"I've never touched 3D."
Good. You never will.
You tell Claude what you want in normal words, the same way you'd text a friend. Claude writes the code that builds the scene. You watch, then you say what to change.
- The key messages are ready to copy, and the example chats show you the rest.
- Weak notes and strong notes, side by side, so your fixes land faster (page 35).
- A copy-paste prompt library for the parts people get stuck on.
"AI videos look cheap."
Claude checks its work before you do.
Most AI videos look cheap for the same few reasons: the camera floats, the model looks fake, and the first second is boring. The guide names each one and gives you the fix.
- The 1-second test: if a stranger can't name the object in one second, you lose them (page 26).
- From basic to premium: 12 common problems, each with a fix (pages 31–33).
- A strict judge prompt: Claude reviews its own reel against the guide's checklist before you watch it, because without one it grades itself too kindly (page 34).
"It sounds complicated."
It's one road. You just follow it.
Each chapter follows the order you'll actually work in, from your first idea to a posted reel. Do them one at a time and you'll get there.

Good fit
- You're a beginner who can follow steps.
- You want 3D explainer reels for your page or your product.
Not a fit
- You want guaranteed views or income.
- You want someone to make the reels for you.
Not included
- The source files of my reels.
- Live classes or coaching. It's a PDF.
You could do it the long way.

Questions.
What do I actually have to do?
Follow the pages in order. You pick a topic, use the ready-to-copy messages for each step, and tell Claude what to change in plain words. Claude does the building. You don't write any code yourself.
Do I need to know 3D or video editing?
No. You describe what you want and Claude builds the scene. The guide gives you ready-to-copy messages for each step.
Does it only work with Claude?
Yes. Every step and prompt is written for Claude, and the guide shows each click. You need a Claude Pro subscription (about $20 a month).
How long does one reel take?
Plan 1 to 4 hours for your first reels (page 4). It gets faster once you know the steps. Claude Pro has a usage limit that resets every few hours, so one reel at a time is the easy pace.
Can I do it from my phone?
Yes. The setup chapter covers a computer and a phone. It's slower on a phone and a full reel needs patience, but it works.
What do I receive?
One PDF, 50 pages, version 2.0, sent to you as soon as you pay. Updates show up free in your Gumroad library.
Is it a subscription?
No. You pay once and the guide is yours.
Will my reel go viral?
Nobody can promise views, and this guide doesn't. It teaches you to make the video well and to read your numbers, so each reel gets better than the last.
Is this made by Anthropic?
No. Claude is made by Anthropic. This guide is independent and made by @so.thats.how.
Can I get a refund?
All sales are final, because you get these digital files the moment you pay. If you were charged twice or your file won't open, email us and we'll fix it.
