How it’s made

Liquid Chrome is a three.js piece. It is JavaScript on three.js, the WebGL library behind most 3D on the web, and it runs live in your browser: nothing to download or install.

Make it yours

  1. Open it in the studio, where it plays with its controls, and its code is a click away.
  2. Tell Perlin what to change in a sentence: a colour, a mood, a new rule, a sound.
  3. Bend it with its sliders, or put it on a timeline and render it to video.
  4. Publish it to the community, share its link or embed it on your site.
