CSS 3D & Perspective
Perspective Tunnel
18 neon rings recede through a CSS 3D perspective tunnel, cycling rainbow hues and rotating as they rush toward the viewer. Pointer X-axis steers the spin rate.

When to use it
Dark-mode hero backgrounds, sci-fi or cyberpunk themes, immersive loading screens or intros needing strong depth illusion.
When not to
Light backgrounds (hardcoded dark navy), motion-sensitive audiences (no static fallback beyond pause), or contexts where legible text must overlay the animation.
Working with an AI agent
Every component ships agent-ready metadata. An example instruction for this one:
Change ring count to 24, set base spin to 0.5, and shift the hue formula to start at blue tones by replacing `o.z*0.12` with `o.z*0.08+180`. Theme: dark tokens live in :root, the light variant in :root[data-theme="light"]; ?theme=light or a {type:'forever:theme'} postMessage switches at runtime.
Safe to edit
- ring count (N=18)
- base spin speed (spin=0.25)
- perspective depth (SPAN=1800)
- hue shift formula (o.z*0.12+roll*2)
- ring border-radius (10px)
- pointer influence range (1.6 multiplier)
- theme tokens (:root dark defaults + [data-theme=light] overrides)
Keep intact
- visibilitychange stop/start guard
- prefers-reduced-motion check
- IIFE-style scoped constants
- SPAN-based z wrapping (o.z -= SPAN)
- theme hook (?theme= bootstrap + forever:theme message listener + theme tokens)
Known limitations
- No reduced-motion static fallback — animation is fully stopped but no still frame is shown
- Background color hardcoded in CSS; must edit to change from dark navy
- Ring count and SPAN tightly coupled — changing N without adjusting SPAN shifts spacing
More CSS 3D & Perspective components
- Rotating CubeGlowing sage-green wireframe cube slowly auto-rotates in CSS 3D with a subtle sine-wave tilt; pointer movement offsets the rotation to follow the cursor.
- Card Deck FanSeven gold-and-mauve playing cards fan open and closed in a sine-wave 3D arc using CSS rotateZ and perspective transform.
- Coverflow RingEight vivid gradient cards orbit in a 3D coverflow ring with CSS perspective and per-card reflections. Pointer X position steers rotation speed.
- Folding Paper4-panel paper accordion folds and unfolds in a zig-zag CSS 3D motion, slowly rotating on a dark green background. Cream front and sage back faces alternate.
- Isometric Blocks3x3 grid of soft lilac CSS 3D cubes bobs in a staggered sine wave on a dark lilac-tinted ground. Three shaded faces per cube simulate isometric lighting.
- Parallax DepthA glowing sun with colored orbiting dots on layered CSS 3D planes that tilt and parallax toward the pointer; auto-orbits until interaction.
