Gravity Galaxy: an interactive 3D cursor template
A spiral galaxy of 26,000 stars; the cursor is a gravity well that drags and swirls them as it passes.
Try it: Move to bend the stars · click for a shockwave. Open the live Gravity Galaxy full screen.

How it is built
Twenty-six thousand stars orbit at speeds based on radius; the cursor is a gravity well in the vertex shader that drags and swirls nearby stars. 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 Gravity Galaxy 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.
