Codrops

For more than 15 years, Codrops has been a place for sharing experimental demos that push the boundaries of web design and development. Over time, we've also highlighted many creative demos from the community in our demo roundups and newsletter. For this reason we have evolved our Demos Hub into the new Creative Hub, which brings everything together in one place: a growing collection of hand-picked, open-source demos from Codrops and beyond. It's a space to discover, learn from, and celebrate the creativity of the web community. We're curating this collection carefully, but we also welcome submissions from creators who'd like to share their work. Come and explore the new Creative Hub: tympanus.net/codrops/hub/

The Sleepers is proof that constraints can spark creativity. Today, @_Thibka shares the lightweight WebGL techniques that shaped its distinctive atmosphere in this behind-the-scenes breakdown: tympanus.net/codrops/2026/0…

@FrankyHungDev 🙌

@codrops It’s live! Thanks Codrops 🙏🏻

In our latest tutorial, @FrankyHungDev shows how to build an interactive 3D wave grid in Three.js, where ripples propagate across a field of cubes to create a mesmerizing, customizable background effect. Follow along: tympanus.net/codrops/?p=116…

We love seeing how different minds solve the same creative challenge 🤩 In CodeTV's latest challenge, three teams had four hours to build the most creative landing page possible. Now the challenge is open to everyone. Build with @astrodotbuild + @greensock, deploy on @webflow Cloud, and submit your entry by July 31: codetv-gsap-cloud.webflow.io #astro #astro #webflow

What do you build when your studio turns ten? Instead of launching another portfolio, @_aboutdaniel and the team at Studio375 created "Ten Years Away", a stunning scroll driven interactive comic that tells the story of a decade through illustration, motion, and thoughtful design. Today, Daniel shares the creative journey behind the project, from a printed book to an immersive WebGL experience: tympanus.net/codrops/?p=116…

What begins as a hand-drawn camera path in Blender becomes an immersive journey through 3D space. In today's tutorial, @gasphedde shows how to transform a Blender camera path into a cinematic, scroll-driven 3D gallery using Three.js and GSAP: tympanus.net/codrops/2026/0… @greensock @threejs

A year ago, @_fojcik shared this incredible tutorial on creating kinetic image animations with React Three Fiber, Canvas2D, and custom shaders.

Some projects deserve a spotlight. Over the years, @edo_lunardi refined the same @nextjs + @sanity_io foundation across real client work, solving the recurring problems that came up on project after project. Over time, those hard-earned solutions became a reusable starter kit for other developers. Today, Edo shares the story behind that journey, the architectural decisions that shaped it, and the lessons he learned along the way. If you're building with Next.js and Sanity, this is for you: tympanus.net/codrops/2026/0…

Stefanos Tsitsipas is more than one of tennis' biggest stars, and that's exactly what @itsoffbrand set out to capture. This fascinating case study takes us behind the scenes of creating his digital counterpart, from photogrammetry and rigging to cloth simulation, animation, and meticulous WebGL optimization. Every technical decision served a single goal: capturing the person behind the athlete. Read the full story: tympanus.net/codrops/2026/0…

In today's fantastic tutorial by @bnpne_, you'll learn how to build seamless WebGPU-powered transitions with vanilla JavaScript, using offscreen rendering, custom shaders, and a clean architecture that's easy to experiment with. Follow along: tympanus.net/codrops/2026/0…
