webgl-liquid-metal

A real-time liquid-metal shader — a domain-warped noise field shaded as molten chrome, with a sweeping specular highlight over an iridescent thin-film (cosine-palette) sheen. No textures. Rendered as a single self-contained `index.html`. Use when the brief asks for "liquid metal", "molten chrome", "iridescent", "holographic", "metallic", "thin-film", or a reflective flowing surface. OpenDesign serves this in powered-preview mode so the GPU stack actually runs.

Decision brief

What it does: where it fits

Produce a single self-contained index.html that renders a real-time metallic surface full-screen — molten chrome with an iridescent sheen — with a clean typographic overlay on top.

Best for

  • Use when the brief asks for "liquid metal", "molten chrome", "iridescent", "holographic", "metallic", "thin-film", or a reflective flowing surface.

Not for

  • Tasks that require unconfirmed production actions or broad system permissions.
  • Environments where the pinned source and install steps cannot be inspected.

Liquid Metal Skill

Produce a single self-contained index.html that renders a real-time metallic surface full-screen — molten chrome with an iridescent sheen — with a clean typographic overlay on top.

Why this is a powered artifact

OpenDesign detects getContext('webgl2') and renders this file in powered preview — a cross-origin-isolated iframe with allow-same-origin. The full GPU pipeline is available; you do not need to work around the opaque sandbox.

Workflow

Step 0 — Read the reference

Read example.html end to end. Note the shape: a domain-warped fbm height field; a surface normal reconstructed from that field's gradient (finite differences); metallic shading = diffuse chrome ramp + a sharp specular (pow(dot(n,h), 80)) + a fresnel term; and an iridescent cosine palette (0.5 + 0.5*cos(2π(x + phase))) driven by height and fresnel for the thin-film sheen.

Step 1 — Choose the surface

  • Molten chrome (default): domain-warped fbm height, hard specular, cool grey base.
  • Holographic foil: crank the iridescence, widen the palette phase spread, soften the specular.
  • Oil slick: darker base, thinner high-frequency warp, stronger fresnel bands.

Step 2 — Build index.html

  • One file, zero external requests. Fullscreen triangle + fragment shader.
  • Reconstruct the normal from small height offsets (e ≈ 0.0016); a sharp specular exponent (≥ 60) is what reads as "metal".
  • Keep the iridescence tasteful — tie it to fresnel/height so it appears at grazing angles, not everywhere.
  • Compile shaders with error logging so a typo fails loudly, not silently black.

Step 3 — Overlay + brand

  • Map the accent colors to the active DESIGN.md when one is present; otherwise a restrained metallic palette. The reference tints the hottest specular toward lime #63fe13 as the brand accent.
  • Headline ≤ 13ch plus one supporting line. Keep the metal as the hero.

Step 4 — Self-review (P0)

  • Renders continuously at ~60fps; the FPS badge updates.
  • Reads unmistakably as metal: a sharp, moving specular highlight.
  • Iridescence is present but restrained (grazing angles), not a rainbow wash.
  • Resizes crisply on window resize (no stretching / blur).
  • Degrades to a message (not a blank page) if webgl2 is unavailable.
