Watch a simulated sheet of fabric become a landscape — waveform swells roll to the horizon, the spectrum shapes the ridges, and a sphere rises through the cloth on every bass hit.
Default demo track · live audio-reactive settings
Landscape is a terrain visualizer in the Wire category, rebuilt as a real sheet of fabric. The ground is not a moving picture of a landscape: it is cloth, simulated in full, held at its edges and free to swell, fold, and drape everywhere else. A sphere sits beneath it and rises through the surface on the bass, pushing a dune up through the weave; the live waveform enters at the horizon and travels forward across the sheet as rolling swells; the spectrum shapes the ridge profile across its width; and every beat sends a shockwave ring rolling outward. Six physically based fabrics — silk, velvet, mercury, snowfield, copper, and prism — carry the light, from soft sheen to liquid metal reflecting the sky. Landscape requires WebGPU; see Browser Support for current platform details.
Every point of the surface is simulated. The edges of the sheet are pinned, and everything inside is free to swell, fold, wrinkle, and drape. That is why a bass hit does not just raise a bump: the sphere pushes up through the weave, the fabric stretches around it, and the slack gathers into folds that run back down the slope.
The audio arrives in three separate ways. The live waveform enters at the horizon and travels forward as rolling swells, so you watch the music come toward you. The spectrum shapes the ridge profile across the width of the terrain. The highs add fine wrinkle that shimmers only while they are present, and every detected beat sends a ring rolling outward from the sphere.
Mouse-drag orbits the camera, right-drag pans, and the scroll wheel zooms. Turn Auto Rotate on for a hands-free slow circle.
On a control with Assign modulation, select the activity icon to open Modulate with. Choose a named source, or choose — None to leave the control unmodulated. After you assign one, its name appears below the slider; select that name to edit the route, or use Clear modulation to remove it. The slider track shows the live signal reaching the control.
Modulated control
Section
What the route changes
Reflections
Material
Sets how strongly the fabric reflects the sky. Highest on the metal finishes.
Glow
Material
Sets how brightly the contour lines and the light spilling off the sphere glow.
Bloom
Material
Sets the glow halo around bright highlights.
Contour Lines
Material
Fades the contour lines in and out. Set it to zero for a bare fabric surface.
Wave Height
Waveform
Sets how high the live waveform lifts the sheet as it travels forward.
Spectrum Ridge
Waveform
Lets the spectrum shape the ridge profile across the width of the terrain.
Lift
Sphere
Sets how far the bass raises the sphere through the surface.
Glow
Sphere
Sets how brightly the sphere glows.
Shockwave
Pulse
Sets the strength of the shockwave ring each beat sends across the fabric.
Wind Strength
Wind
Sets how hard the wind pushes the fabric. The mids drive it.
Some controls appear only after you enable a related mode or style. The settings panel always reflects the options available for the current selection.
Start with Sag: near zero the sheet is a taut drum and the waveform reads as crisp ridges; high values give it slack so the sphere drapes the fabric over itself.
Detail and Solver Passes are the performance dial. Drop Detail first on a busy show — the terrain keeps its shape, it just carries fewer fine wrinkles.
