Info

What it is

A splash caught in mid-air: the crown of a drop that has just landed, its scalloped wall thrown up into sharp points each tipped with a bead, a central jet topped by a drop and a scatter of beads flung out around it. The liquid is rendered as glass, so it catches the studio light like ice. Time is stopped but not quite: every bead bobs by a hair and the crown breathes while the camera makes one full circle per loop. Choose the liquid (ice, milk, coral or honey), the number of crown points, the number of beads, the height, the seed, the backdrop colour and whether the camera circles.

Reuse it in your own idea

  • Water brand: Ice, eighteen points.
  • Dairy: Milk crown.
  • Treat: Honey, few beads.

Which part is reusable

src/frozen-splash.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

  • The splash is a stylised shape, not a fluid simulation.
  • The liquid is transparent without true refraction.

Technical details

Technical details
Implementation
Three.js 0.185.1 (WebGL) · ES module src/frozen-splash.js
Exports
  • createSplash({ liquid?, points?, beads?, height?, seed? }) => { group, setProgress(progress), dispose() }
  • LIQUIDS: { ice, milk, coral, honey }
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 splash is centred on the y axis on a floor at y = 0; the crown's base radius is 1.55 and it flares to about 2.5; the jet rises to about 1.9; beads fly out to a radius of about 5.

Lighting: A warm key light with a shadow map and the studio environment; the liquid is glass-like with clearcoat.

Timing: setProgress(progress) rewrites the crown and positions the beads; frames render in any order.

Output
1080×1080, 30 fps, 16 s · procedural (computed from the frame number) · seamless loop — The camera makes one full circle per loop, each bead bobs by whole cycles and the crown breathes by one cycle, 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
About 4 500 crown vertices rewritten each frame, one instanced draw of up to 160 beads, a shadow map: a couple of milliseconds a frame on an integrated Intel GPU. Software WebGL renders in about two seconds a frame.
