Neon Tube
Letter outlines as glass neon tubing: a gas discharge ignites each contour, stuttering before it settles into a steady hum with slow breathing and the odd micro-dip. Use for signs, nightlife and retro titles.

Code and API
Ready-to-paste React Three Fiber code and the 3DRise API are included in paid plans, inside the studio.
More text
Fourier Sketch
Each letter is traced by a chain of rotating circles whose radii are its Fourier coefficients; more terms sharpen the form, and glints keep circling the finished contours. Use for science, math and generative titles.
Handwriting
A pen writes the text in single strokes, slowing in tight curves where the ink pools and drying from wet sheen to rest colour; a faint sheen drifts over the dry ink. Use for signatures, titles and invitations.
Light Painting
A long-exposure photograph of a handheld light writing in the dark: trail brightness follows 1/pen speed, colour cools from hot to warm, and a sparkler throws ballistic sparks. Use for night-photo titles, signatures and festive reveals.
Plain
Flat solid text from the font outlines with a weight axis, an optional outline and soft edges, anti-aliased from a signed distance field. Use for labels, captions, prices, menus and titles.
Plasma Discharge
Electrical breakdown along the letter contours: a white-hot arc channel with a violet halo, fractal streamers forking outward, current pulses and breathing branches. Use for sci-fi, energy and tech titles.
Burn Away
Letters cut from singed cream paper with smouldering embers; the erase is a combustion front travelling along the strokes leaving glowing edge, cracked char and ash. Use for dramatic reveals, titles and storytelling.
Works well with
Bloom
Bloom post-processing: the brightest parts of a 3D scene glow and spill light, so neon, sparks and emissive materials read as light.
Post-processing effectChromatic Aberration
Chromatic aberration post-processing: split the colour channels into thin fringes for a lens, VHS or glitchy screen look.
Post-processing effectChromatic echo
Three coloured copies of a moving 3D object a beat apart: an RGB fringe when it moves fast that adds back up to white.
Object effectGlow
Light the targets up with an emissive glow
Object effectHellfire Halo
Dark crimson halo with a tight, smoldering blood-red limb and slow heavy breath
CoronaNoise
Noise post-processing: fine film grain over a 3D scene that takes the digital edge off clean renders and gives an analogue feel.
