Grid Lift

Overview

Grid Lift raises a structured surface just enough to make the hero feel engineered without turning it into a 3D showroom.

Use it for technical brands, AI platforms, and developer-tool launches where structured motion should signal engineering taste. The page job is controlled lift: the grid adds depth while the copy stays in charge.

In production, the risk is jitter. Too many moving cells make the surface feel noisy, especially on lower-power devices.

Usage

Component Code

Example Production Use Case

Use this as WebGL production guidance. Verify the shipped source, rendering stack, dependency list, shader assets, resource disposal, pause/offscreen behavior, DPR strategy, poster fallback, and reduced-motion state before relying on exact props, defaults, imports, or installation steps.

Best Used For

• Technical product heroes where grid structure supports the brand's engineering signal.
• AI and developer-tool launches where depth should feel precise, not cinematic.
• Portfolio surfaces where a disciplined grid adds motion without becoming a scene.

Not For

Not for low-power-first pages, dense content, dashboards, checkout, or routes where performance is the main conversion lever.

Performance Budget

Cap DPR at 1.0 on touch/mobile and up to 1.5 on mid-range desktop. Pause Grid Lift offscreen and in hidden tabs, reduce postprocessing before shipping, and keep texture sizes controlled.

Accessibility and Mobile

Keep meaningful content in HTML outside the canvas. On mobile, reduce shader quality and switch to a poster if the scene cannot hold frame rate.

Common Mistakes

• Animating too many cells at once and turning structure into jitter.
• Using the grid as the only visual hierarchy in the hero.
• Skipping a still frame fallback when the grid motion is decorative.
