Typography so hot it actually melts.
Demo: https://penev.tech/labs/molten-type
My new WebGPU experiment Molten Type is live!
Real-time heating, deformation, and procedural sparks.
To my friends on mobile or old browsers: if you see a fallback message, don't be mad. My code...
Declarative WebGL Particle Morphing
Demo: https://codesandbox.io/p/sandbox/ycqkng
Problem: Morphing 3D particles usually requires manual buffer management, GPGPU shaders, and imperative render loops. It’s boilerplate-heavy and disconnected from the DOM.
Approach: StringTune-3D...
Interactive Glass Typography – WebGL Refraction & Chromatic Dispersion Shader
Live demo: https://penev.tech/labs/glass
I created an interactive WebGL shader that turns ordinary text into dynamic, tactile glass — as if the letters are made of molten, imperfect, frosted material...
WebGPU-Based Liquid Typography Component (Framer)
Built a GPU-driven liquid distortion component using WebGPU (WGSL) inside Framer.
Instead of relying on traditional WebGL effects, I engineered a per-pixel distortion...
Revisiting Interaction Systems: Procedural Grass with WebGPU & Three.js I've been deep-diving into high-performance interaction layers lately, and here's one outcome: a procedural grass simulation running 50,000+ interactive instances at buttery-smooth FPS.
Built with Three.js +...
