CSS 3D & Perspective

Depth-Sorted Petals

44 pink gradient petals arranged in 4 concentric rings open and close in 3D perspective, depth-sorted back-to-front around a glowing central hub.

When to use it

Dark-mode hero backgrounds, floral or organic themes, ambient looping art installations.

When not to

Light backgrounds (hardcoded deep plum). Contexts needing legible foreground text — petals fill the viewport.

Working with an AI agent

Every component ships agent-ready metadata. An example instruction for this one:

Change petal color to blue-violet by replacing the rgba(232,121,185,...) gradient stops with rgba(139,92,246,...) and updating the hub gradient to match. 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 (RINGS=4)
  • petals per ring (PER=11)
  • perspective focal length (FOV=560)
  • petal pitch oscillation amplitude (0.5)
  • ring rotation speed (spin: 0.0016)
  • background color (#241327)
  • theme tokens (:root dark defaults + [data-theme=light] overrides)

Keep intact

  • manual back-to-front depth sort (quads.sort by zc)
  • DPR-aware canvas sizing
  • visibility pause/resume
  • reduced-motion static frame fallback
  • theme hook (?theme= bootstrap + forever:theme message listener + theme tokens)

Known limitations

  • Background color hardcoded in both CSS and fillRect — must change both
  • No aria semantics; purely decorative canvas
  • nudge decay via pointer/click adds mild interactivity but no persistent state

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.
