Overview

A black monolith rises out of fog and fractures into iridescent petals as you scroll, while a raking light follows the cursor.

Signature momentThe moment the slab splits and the first petals catch the light.

The rise
A single slab lifts out of volumetric fog over the first 1.2 seconds, eased out, with a rim light that reads its edges before its faces.
The fracture
Scroll drives a Voronoi split into 64 shards by default. Each shard carries thin film iridescence, so the colour shifts with the viewing angle.
The bloom
Past the midpoint the shards drift apart on a spring and settle into a flowerlike spread. Spread, shard count and bloom amount are parameters.
Cursor light
A key light tracks the pointer on a damped spring. On touch devices it drifts on its own.
Nine looks
Opal, Ember, Glacier, Venom, Pearl, Eclipse, Petal Storm, Gold Leaf and Ultraviolet change the material, the light and the page tone together.
Fallbacks
Reduced motion shows three stills with crossfades. Phones get fewer shards and no bloom pass.

The prompt

The prompt for this layer is being written to the same contract as the others and opens with the next release. The preview, looks and source are live now.

Original and rebuild

A fresh model was given the prompt and nothing else. Its build and the original were captured at the same scroll positions and pointer paths; the rows are the frame pairs.
