Obsidian Lens is a Fuser shader pipeline that transforms flat PNG logos into a volumetric "liquid obsidian" with a deep black base.
By using faux normal mapping for 3D beveling and a dynamic mask to isolate two-tone gradients, it creates a premium material effect instead of a cheap "rainbow flood." It’s a clean, high-impact tool for anyone needing a sharp Web3 aesthetic and a "heavy" visual identity.

This is very well put together—the clarity and structure show that every decision was intentional. It’s the kind of work that looks simple on the surface but clearly required strong judgment behind the scenes. When you were building this, how did you decide what to prioritize and what to leave out?

Thank you! I was aiming for that exactly, though it didn’t turn out quite as perfectly as I’d planned
