Monolith

Field notes

A floating hexagonal basalt monolith split by glowing cyan fissures, with drifting debris, a light shaft, and pointer parallax. Procedural GLSL stone — no textures, no models, no network.

Monolith is a single-screen hero built around one object: a hexagonal basalt column hanging in the dark, split by a fault line that glows from inside. The stone, the fractures, and the light are all procedural GLSL — there is not a single texture, model, or HDR file to download.

Everything moves on a 10-second loop — a slow sway, a gentle rise and fall, energy travelling up the cracks — so the page feels alive without ever feeling busy. Pointer parallax tilts the column toward the visitor, and the whole scene rests for anyone who prefers reduced motion.
