CSS 3D & Perspective

Rotating Cube

Glowing 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.

When to use it

Hero backgrounds, tech or data product landing pages, dark-mode ambient displays needing a 3D accent.

When not to

Light backgrounds (hardcoded dark charcoal). Contexts where pointer distraction competes with UI controls above the cube.

Working with an AI agent

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

Change the cube face glow color from sage to gold by replacing #B1CCA4 and rgba(177,204,164,.5) with #ffe07e and rgba(255,220,120,.5), and slow rotation to ry+=0.25. 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

  • rotation speed (ry += 0.5)
  • pointer influence range (tx *40 / ty *30)
  • face glow color (#B1CCA4)
  • cube size (38vmin)
  • perspective depth (600px)
  • theme tokens (:root dark defaults + [data-theme=light] overrides)

Keep intact

  • visibilitychange stop/start guards
  • prefers-reduced-motion static fallback
  • viewport cache with resize listener (never per-frame)
  • theme hook (?theme= bootstrap + forever:theme message listener + theme tokens)

Known limitations

  • Background color hardcoded to dark navy — must edit CSS to use on light pages
  • CSS 3D with backface-visibility:visible can look odd on some rotations without a depth cull tweak

  • 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.
  • Wireframe GlobeA teal wireframe globe of 6 longitude and 5 latitude rings rotates in CSS 3D perspective; pointer steers spin speed and tilt angle.
