A BLUME craft note
A familiar garden. An unfamiliar object.
Three visual ideas to borrow for your next experiment.

The uneven blue outline interrupts the garden’s calm geometry. Even in a still, the object looks unsettled. A distinctive shape gives the eye somewhere to land before it starts exploring the smaller details.
Give your experiment one clear focal object.
Lawns, flower pots and a shaded doorway make the setting instantly familiar. That familiarity makes the floating glass feel more surprising: the scene has a quiet sense of place before the anomaly arrives.
A readable setting can make a small surprise feel bigger.
The orb’s blue belongs to the same cool family as the water below. Warm sunlight and green planting surround both. Those repeated colors help the unusual object feel part of the image instead of a separate layer.
Echo one color between your focal object and its surroundings.
Follow the making
Reitberger’s original write-up on Codrops describes Three.js WebGPU rendering with TSL node materials, CPU-based position physics and procedural Web Audio. Pointer input stirs the bubbles. Strong contacts with the shell produce a deformation and a tone.
Reitberger credits Skybox AI for the garden setting in his original article. This note attributes AI assistance to that environment.
Stir the bubbles with your pointer. Watch the glass outline as they hit its inner surface, then listen for how the sound responds. Compare the still above with the moving demo.
