# Snowman

> Tinsel pack asset: a snowman in a knit beanie and striped scarf, with a carrot nose, coal smile and twig arms. Every six seconds he hops, squashes on landing and waves; his head turns toward your cursor and his pompom jiggles. Snow that glows at its edges and knit you can see the stitches of. Raymarched in WebGL with a real ground shadow. Six palettes or your own colors.

One-time setup (needs a subscription):

1. Add the registry to the project's `components.json`: `{"@assembli":{"url":"https://www.assembli.design/r/{name}.json","headers":{"Authorization":"Bearer ${ASSEMBLI_API_KEY}"}}}` (merge into `"registries"`).
2. Put an API key from https://www.assembli.design/account in `.env.local` as `ASSEMBLI_API_KEY=asm_…`.

Then install with the shadcn CLI (writes `components/tinsel-snowman/tinsel-snowman.tsx` and installs dependencies):
