WebGL & 3D Effects
Create richer, more immersive moments with interactive 3D, shaders, particles and WebGL effects that add depth and visual impact where standard interface animation is not enough.

Questions, Answered.
Which WebGL or 3D effect should I choose for a premium hero?
Use Fractal Glass, Grid Tunnel, or Progressive Bloom Valley for premium hero moments where the visual itself proves craft. Use sliders, blur reveals, and lighter 3D interactions when the scene supports product or portfolio exploration rather than becoming the whole page.
Where do WebGL and 3D effects justify their production cost?
They justify the cost on premium hero sections, AI and product launches, creative portfolios, immersive brand work, shader-led showcases, and proof-of-craft pages. The visual payoff needs to be commercially meaningful because this is the highest-cost category.
When should I avoid WebGL on a page?
Avoid heavy WebGL on content-dense pages, low-power-first audiences, checkout, dashboards, documentation, and routes where load speed is the main conversion lever. If the canvas disappears and the page no longer communicates, the implementation is too dependent on spectacle.
How do I control GPU and render cost?
Cap DPR at 1.0 on mobile and up to 1.5 on mid-range desktop. Pause render loops offscreen and when the tab is hidden. Reduce postprocessing, shader iterations, texture size, bloom, and particle counts before sacrificing HTML content.
What content should stay outside the canvas?
Meaningful headings, links, CTAs, product copy, and conversion content should remain in HTML. Decorative canvas scenes should be hidden from assistive technology and backed by poster or static fallbacks where needed.
What should WebGL do on mobile devices?
Reduce quality, lower texture size, simplify shaders, disable bloom-heavy passes, and switch to a poster fallback when the device cannot justify the scene. Mobile simplification should be designed, not treated as a failure state.
