Been exploring WebGL + shaders through this cylindrical image gallery.
A few things I’m taking from it:
- Think about the surface before the individual images.
- Small speed differences can add a lot of depth.
- Shaders work best when they support the interaction.
- Most of the polish is in fixing seams, timing and transitions.
- Performance quickly becomes part of the design.
Still experimenting with how far this can go while keeping it useful for real websites.
"Most of the polish is in fixing seams, timing and transitions" is such an underrated truth about shader work, that's the invisible 80% nobody claps for. Where's the line for you between a fun experiment and something you'd actually ship on a client site?
I’m especially happy about this because working on this template was a creative outlet for me.
I wanted to build something useful for a business: a website that covers what a studio needs when it opens, from an easy-to-use schedule to clearly structured class information, with a solid foundation for SEO.
At the same time, I wanted it to feel beautiful. To bring a sense of movement, lightness, and the joy of taking a class into the design. To capture that friendly atmosphere that makes you want to walk into a studio and give it a try.
Huge congrats on getting featured! 🤍 MOVVA looks stunning - love the mindful movement vibe and that hero image. Super useful concept for studios. Well deserved feature!
