What it is

A galaxy made of donuts: dozens of small glazed donuts swirl round a big one at the centre along the arms of a spiral, the inner ones racing and the outer ones drifting, each tumbling as it goes and every glaze a different colour of the rainbow. Choose the number of donuts, the number of spiral arms, how strong the glaze colours are, how many laps the outermost donuts make per loop, the seed, the backdrop colour and whether the camera sways.

Reuse it in your own idea

  • Playful brand: Three arms, rainbow.
  • Soft: Pastel, many.
  • Energetic: Fast laps, two arms.

Which part is reusable

src/glazed-galaxy.js is the ingredient your AI reuses. demo.js is only the example scene around it, and uses chrome-material only for the demo.

Good to know

  • All frostings share one shape, tinted differently.
  • Donuts may overlap where arms cross near the centre.

Technical details

Technical details
Implementation
Three.js 0.185.1 (WebGL) · ES module src/glazed-galaxy.js
Exports
  • createGlazedGalaxy({ count?, arms?, saturation?, laps?, seed? }) => { group, setProgress(progress), dispose() }
Dependencies (exact)
  • three@0.185.1 (source) — Renderer, geometry and shader materials.
  • chrome-material@1.1.0 (demo) — Studio environment light, backdrop and contact shadow.
  • apw-runtime@1.0.0 (demo) — Demo harness.
How it fits a scene

Coordinates: The big donut sits at the origin (height 1.1); small donuts orbit at radius 2.6–7.2 in the xz plane; the camera looks down at about 52°.

Lighting: A warm key light with a shadow map, a shadow-catching floor and the studio environment.

Timing: setProgress(progress) places every donut on its orbit; frames render in any order.

Output
1080×1080, 30 fps, 16 s · procedural (computed from the frame number) · seamless loop — Every donut makes a whole number of laps per loop and turns a whole number of times, its tilts and bob are sines of whole cycles and the camera sway is a sine of the loop, so the last frame meets the first.
Tested
Rendered 480 frames on 2026-10-05 in Chrome 154.0.8037.97 headless on Linux 7.0.0-38-generic (x64), Node 22.14.0 (WebGL 2 via SwiftShader (software)). Same frame twice from fresh pages: identical. Loop: Frame 0 vs end state (progress 1): mean |Δ| 0.0000, max |Δ| 0 of 255.
Performance
Two instanced draw calls of up to 121 donuts with a shadow map: about a millisecond a frame on an integrated Intel GPU. Software WebGL renders in about a second a frame.
