17M views in under a month: how to make 3D cutaway explainer reels with Claude

A step-by-step guide to the faceless 3D cutaway explainer: the ground sliced open, one simple question (“how does a sewer line work?”) and one word on screen at a time. Why an account with 23 reels passed 17 million views in under a month, the Claude prompts for the script and the 3D scene, and how postreadygo posts one every day at the best time on every platform.

A house, a lawn, and the ground under it cut open like a slice of cake. A pipe goes in, water flows, and one word at a time tells you how it works. “How a hole in your yard becomes a sewer line” has more than 11 million views, and the top comment is a plumber saying it is all correct.

The format: slice the ground open

The account we looked at is @faruxyz on Instagram. Its first reel went up on October 16, 2026. As of November 12, 2026 it had 23 reels, 55.4K followers and about 17.5 million views in total.

“How a Hole in Your Yard Becomes a Sewer Line” had 11.2M views, about 399K likes, 6.7K reposts and 60.9K shares. Its top comment, with more than 63K likes: “As a plumber everything in this video is correct.” The next biggest, “How An Average Garden Is Built”, had 1.9M views.

• It shows what you never get to see. Everyone has a drain, a lawn or a road. Almost nobody has seen what is underneath.
• Being right is the growth trick. When a plumber confirms the video in the comments, everyone else trusts it and shares it.
• One word at a time keeps your eyes in the middle of the screen and works without sound.
• It never runs out. Septic tanks, French drains, igloos, highways, skyscrapers: every “how does that work?” is an episode.

What Claude is and how to get an account

Claude is an AI assistant made by Anthropic. It can research how something works, write the script and write the code that draws a 3D scene in your browser.

1. Go to claude.ai or install the Claude app.
2. Sign up with your email address or your Google account.
3. Type your first message in the box at the bottom.

Step 1: Claude writes the script

Script prompt

Write a 45-second script for a faceless 3D explainer reel: "How a hole in your yard becomes a sewer line".

- Start with the digging, then follow the pipe step by step
- Short sentences, plain words, one idea per sentence
- Include the details a professional would look for (slope, vent, trap, cleanout)
- Tell me where each fact comes from so I can check it
- End with one line people will want to comment on

Check every fact before you build anything. In this format the experts are in your comments, and one wrong detail is all they will talk about.

Step 2: Claude builds the 3D cutaway

3D scene prompt

Build this script as a single HTML file with three.js, in vertical 1080x1920.

- A simple house and lawn on top, and the ground cut open below it so I can see underground
- Animate each step of the script: digging, laying the pipe, water flowing through it
- Small labels for the important parts
- The script as captions in the middle of the screen, one word at a time, white with a black outline
- A Record button that downloads the video

Open the file in Chrome, press Record, and you have your reel. If something looks wrong, tell Claude (“the pipe is too thin”, “slow down the water”) and it fixes it.

Why posting by hand holds you back

This account posted 23 reels in under a month. Making them is the fun part; posting them is where most people give up.

• Five apps, five uploads. The same video, the same caption, again and again for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook and Threads.
• The wrong time. You post when you remember, not when your audience is online.
• One busy day breaks the streak. Then two, then a week, and the account stops growing.

With postreadygo, one message to Claude schedules a whole month: one video a day, each at its best time, on every platform at once. That is 30 posts a month per platform, without opening a single app.

Step 3: Connect postreadygo to Claude

1. Go to postreadygo.com and click Get started for free. Then open Linked and connect Instagram, TikTok, YouTube or any other supported network.
2. In Claude, open Settings, then Connectors, then Add custom connector.
3. Name it postreadygo and paste: https://www.postreadygo.com/mcp
4. Click Connect, sign in to postreadygo and press Allow.
5. Test it: “List my postreadygo accounts.”

Step 4: One explainer a day, on autopilot

Scheduling prompt

Here are 30 explainer reels.
Post one every day at the best time on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook and Threads, starting tomorrow.
Use the question as the caption and ask people who do this for a living if we got it right.
Show me the plan before you schedule anything.

Questions people ask

Do I need to know 3D or code?

No. Claude writes the script and the code for the scene. You open the file in your browser and press Record.

How do I make sure the explainer is correct?

Ask Claude for the source of each fact and check it. If you can, show the script to someone who does that job before you post.

How long should an explainer reel be?

The two biggest reels we looked at are about 50 and 65 seconds. Start with 45 to 60 seconds.

How much does postreadygo cost?

You can get started for free with a 3-day trial. After that, plans start at $9 per month. Current prices are on the postreadygo home page.
