How I Built The GLSL Header For My Portfolio

glsl header three.js

I wanted to see how far I could push Three.js and GLSL, so I built this header. It consists of four scenes rendered directly to the GPU and used as textures. It is completely interactive, built with Three.js, Next.js, React, React Three Fiber, and GSAP. My website uses WordPress as a headless CMS.

What is GLSL?

GLSL (OpenGL Shading Language) is a high-level shading language used to write shaders for rendering graphics. It allows developers to harness the power of the GPU to create stunning visual effects and complex animations.

Why Build a Site Like This?

Creating immersive websites enhances user engagement and experience. Interactive graphics and animations draw users in, making the content more memorable and the website more attractive. This approach can lead to increased user retention and satisfaction.

Why Use WordPress Headless CMS?

Using WordPress as a headless CMS allows for flexible content management while leveraging modern front-end technologies. It decouples the back end from the front end, providing better performance, scalability, and a smoother developer experience.
