Shattering Crystal: an interactive 3D cursor template
An iridescent crystal ball whose facets lift away and spin wherever the cursor touches, then knit back together.
Try it: Hover to crack it open · click to shatter. Open the live Shattering Crystal full screen.
Where the Shattering Crystal works best
Jewellery, crypto and fintech brands, product reveals and premium launch pages.
How it is built
An icosphere is split into separate triangles, each carrying its centre and a random spin axis, so the vertex shader can lift and turn shards near the cursor. The whole effect is plain three.js in one module script. It renders only while it is on screen and caps the pixel ratio on high-density displays to protect performance.
Add it to your website
- Add a Code, Embed or Custom HTML block where the effect should sit (Webflow, Framer, WordPress, GoHighLevel, Shopify or plain HTML).
- Paste the snippet. It is one element and one script; three.js loads from a CDN.
- Edit the colours and words in the settings block, then publish.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Shattering Crystal template free?
Anyone can open it live and try the interaction. Copying the code is included with a Scrollhaus plan.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. On touch screens it runs a gentle automatic motion so the scene is never still, and taps trigger the click interaction.
Do I need Spline or three.js experience?
No. It is one HTML element and one module script. Colours, text and images live in a settings block at the top.
