GPU-Powered Interactive Hero Background

Designed and developed a fully custom, shader-driven 3D particle wave hero section for a modern studio brand.

The objective was to create a cinematic, elegant, and interactive background that feels premium and “tactical” without overwhelming the UI or hurting performance.

The system was built from scratch using Three.js + GLSL and embedded directly into Framer for production deployment across desktop and mobile.

• Static hero visuals felt generic and flat • Needed a premium “tech-forward” first impression • Performance constraints on mobile • Required seamless Framer integration • Interaction had to feel subtle and refined, not flashy

Built a GPU-accelerated particle system with fully custom shaders.

• Circular point sprites for clean minimal aesthetics • Adjustable particle density + spacing • Marble-inspired gradient shading • Soft mouse-based elevation interactions • Responsive camera presets (desktop + mobile) • Framer-safe embed architecture • Production-ready deployment on Vercel

• Shader programming (GLSL) • Three.js architecture • Particle system engineering • Interaction design • Performance optimization • Framer integration • Deployment & testing

• Three.js • GLSL shaders • WebGL • Framer • Vercel • JavaScript

• ~25,000+ GPU-rendered particles in real-time • 60 FPS sustained on modern desktop • ~45–60 FPS on mid-range mobile devices • 70–80% smaller than using video backgrounds • 100% responsive across breakpoints • Zero external assets (pure shader → faster loads) • Reduced hero load time vs video by ~2–3x • Approved in final review without redesign iterations • Deployed directly into production site

• Fully procedural (no textures or videos) • Adjustable density + brightness + size via GUI • Real-time interaction system • Two scene variants (line + circular textures) • Clean, premium visual language • Framer-compatible architecture

The final hero delivers a refined, immersive “digital ocean” effect that elevates the brand’s perceived sophistication while staying lightweight and performant.

The client locked it in for production across both desktop and mobile.
