What you are seeing

This template builds a three-dimensional particle form from a short piece of text. Rotation alternates between a readable face and a narrow edge, making it useful for initials, short title loops and visual accents. It is a shape generator rather than a full typography editor.

Try it in the editor

  1. Choose Letter R or Letter A for an initial, or FOCUS for a short word.
  2. Enter English letters with single spaces between words, keeping the total length to eight characters including spaces.
  3. Adjust letter depth, then pause on the face to check that the word still reads at phone size.
  4. Reduce saturation for a white form or use color for a moving accent. Export a face-on frame if readability matters most.

Controls that make a difference

Text
Accepts A–Z and a–z with single spaces, up to eight characters in total. Shorter words leave more room for each letter.
Letter depth
A range of 20–240 controls the extrusion. More depth emphasizes the side view but can make the text harder to read during rotation.
Face particles
Use 1,000–6,000 particles to adjust density. Higher counts can look fuller but demand more from the device.
Particle size and saturation
Particle size ranges from 0.5–2; saturation ranges from 0–100. Balance them against density so the letter openings remain visible.

What to keep in mind

Digits, punctuation, non-Latin text and uploaded fonts are not supported. System font rendering can vary across devices, so preview and export on the device you plan to use.

Save and export

The editor saves drafts in this browser. Download a project JSON file to keep a portable backup; clearing site data removes local drafts. Opening a template guide’s editor link restores that template’s saved draft when available.

PNG exports capture the selected frame at 540 × 960, 1080 × 1920 or 2160 × 3840. Browser video recording is silent, with 720p or 1080p portrait output and a target of 30 fps. MP4 or WebM availability depends on your browser. Keep the tab visible; recording is limited to 60 seconds and does not guarantee exact timing, frame rate or a seamless loop.

Use material you have permission to use. A template’s availability does not grant rights to third-party music, branding or reference works.
