LIGHT. MATH. YOUR NEXT BUILD.

Warp Tunnel

Projected stars stream through depth toward the camera. Cursor steering bends their flight while depth-aligned streaks catch the light.

Category: Space / forward flight.

Open Warp Tunnel in the live editor to customize its palette, motion, and supported camera controls. Use Take the code to download the configured kit after signing in. Complete membership access is free during the current launch offer.

Integration example

Download this shader's kit before running the example. The runtime is a local file from that kit, not a public CDN or npm package.

import { createBackground } from './shader-background.js';

const background = createBackground(
  document.querySelector('#background'),
  {
    "effect": "warp",
    "colors": [
      "#050c1d",
      "#4a82b8",
      "#e0f3ff"
    ],
    "speed": 0.6,
    "particleCount": 4800,
    "dotSize": 0.9,
    "maxPixels": 700000,
    "maxFPS": 30
  }
);

// On view teardown:
// background.destroy();

Give the host an explicit size, preserve applicable stage CSS from the exported example, and keep content above the decorative canvas. JavaScript, React, and Next.js guides explain integration.

Motion, assets, and licensing

Test the finished page on your target devices, respect reduced motion, and use a pause control for persistent animation. Keep the license and notices included in your kit. Uploaded imagery needs its own usage rights. See performance and licensing.
