globe-particles
Create a globe-like 3D particle visualization with a dense luminous spherical core and thinner orbital ring or flattened disc. Use when a design needs a premium planetary, orbital, synthesized data-globe effect rendered with real WebGL/Three.js particles, not generic starfields or full page layout changes.

Scope
- Apply only to a globe-like 3D particle visualization.
- Do not change full page layout, copy, or unrelated motion systems.
- Use for planetary, orbital, infrastructure, or synthesized data-globe effects.
- Keep the core neutral or white-hot and derive ring/glow accents from the design's primary color.
Visual Target
- Dense spherical core of luminous points.
- Thinner outer orbital ring or flattened disc around the sphere.
- Clear globe silhouette with tilt, depth, and layered particle density.
- Dark atmospheric background, restrained glow, clean structure, and subtle sci-fi depth.
- Premium and cinematic, not playful or noisy.
HTML And CSS
Particle Shader
Use circular shader points so particles stay crisp and luminous.
Three.js Recipe
Tuning Knobs
- Density: tune
sphereCountandringCountseparately. - Scale: tune
radius,ringRadius,ringThickness, andcameraDistance. - Color: keep
coreColorneutral; deriveaccentColorfrom the brand primary. - Motion: tune
rotationSpeed,tiltX,tiltZ,mouseStrength, and breathing amplitude. - Glow: tune
pointSize, additive blending, and particle count so the shape stays crisp. - Performance: lower particle counts or cap
maxDprbefore changing the visual structure.
Taste Rules
- The silhouette must read as a globe, not a loose starfield.
- The ring should feel orbital and tilted, not like a flat decorative underline.
- Use restrained glow; let density and depth create the premium feel.
- Keep mouse response gentle so the object drifts rather than swings.
- Put the globe over a dark background or inside a dark atmospheric shell.
Avoid
- Generic starfield noise with no spherical structure.
- Oversized particles or bloom that destroys the globe silhouette.
- Hardcoded accent colors when the design has a clear primary color.
- Wild cursor interaction or fast spinning.
- Dense fog that turns the object into a blurry blob.
Quick Checks
- Sphere and ring are distinct particle populations.
- Core reads mostly neutral or white-hot.
- Accent color appears on ring, highlights, or glow.
- Tilt reveals the ring and globe depth.
- Reduced motion renders a still or near-still object.
- Geometry, material, renderer, listeners, and RAF are cleaned up.
