Elimar: A Lost Van Gogh, Rendered in Particles

OddCommon's hour-long scrollytelling for LMI Group renders Vincent van Gogh as a cloud of black and white motes that scatter on approach and reform at distance. One particle system in many disguises, wrapped around four years of forensic art authentication.

Vermeer's Milkmaid Dissolved into WebGPU Particles

Revelium Studio broke Vermeer's 1658 Milkmaid into thousands of GPU-driven particles using WebGPU and Three.js TSL. Color-sampled from the original painting, the result is a particle cloud that somehow still holds the composition together. Worth a long stare.

Interactive 3D Sony Headphones Built with Spline and Webflow

Lorenz Wieseke built a product page that actually earns your attention. Particle environments, animated audio wave rings, swappable colors, and convincing materials, all orchestrated through Spline and Webflow without a custom WebGL pipeline in sight.

BOIDS: A Parametric Playground for Emergent Flocking Behavior

BOIDS simulates flocking through three local rules: separation, alignment, cohesion. No central control. Every parameter is exposed. Click to attract, right-click to scatter. Built in p5.js with texture support and video export.

Igloo Inc: Crystal Growth Algorithms, Shader-Driven UI, and Volume Data

Abeto built the Igloo Inc site entirely in WebGL, from procedurally grown ice crystals to shader-driven UI text. The particle footer alone, powered by custom VDB-to-browser volume data, is worth the scroll.

Galaxy Sim: Real-Time N-Body Galaxy Formation in WebGL

Watch 20,000 particles collapse from random gas clouds into a spinning spiral galaxy, all running in your browser. The result is quietly mesmerizing.

Party: A WebGPU Particle Physics Playground

Thousands of particles swarm and collide with real physics, all running on WebGPU compute shaders. Party lets you tweak gravity, forces, and constraints live. It's part demo, part instrument.

Active Theory Portfolio

Active Theory's portfolio site is a technical flex: real-time particles, AI-powered navigation, and immersive 3D environments built on their custom Hydra framework. Twelve years of pushing browsers to their limits, and it shows.

Holiday Snow Globe

Michael Modena's holiday snow globe uses WebGPU compute shaders to create volumetric snow that actually fills the dome with mesh-based particles generating proper normals. Plus a Porsche GT3 drifts inside. It's a Christmas card that doubles as a lighting and compute shader stress test.

The Monolith Project

The Monolith Project is a cinematic WebGL journey built with React Three Fiber. It weaves together modular shaders, layered particle systems, and a custom deferred renderer into a scroll-driven story that flows like a film. Every effect is modular. Every transition feels intentional.
