Radial Sphere — the cosmic sea star

The Radial Sphere is an organic three-dimensional structure: a bright white central core from which 22 arms extend in all directions of space, each made of 12 spheres of increasing size. The whole thing looks like a high-dimensional sea star, a cosmic urchin, or a giant atom pulsing to the rhythm of your music.

What you see

The core is a luminous icosahedron whose brightness varies with bass intensity. From it extend 22 arms arranged according to a Fibonacci distribution on the sphere (for perfectly uniform spacing). Each arm extends or retracts according to its assigned frequency — arms corresponding to bass extend in slow, powerful explosions, while those for treble vibrate rapidly in quick tremors.

Each arm has its own HSL color, creating a three-dimensional rainbow that slowly rotates. Pyramids (4-face ConeGeometry) orbit the structure at varying distances, moving outward during energy peaks.

Geometry and motion

The entire scene performs a complex rotation on three axes at slightly different speeds depending on the mids, giving an impression of chaotic yet harmonious rotation — like a planet whose orbit is disturbed by sound.

💡 Perfect for: classical, chamber music, acoustic jazz. Each instrument expresses itself in its own arm, each colored differently.

Technology

IcosahedronGeometry core (detail 3). The 22 arm directions are calculated via Fibonacci distribution on the sphere (golden phi). Each arm contains BALLS_PER_ARM=12 spheres whose radial position = frac × freq_amplitude × ARM_MAX_R. ConeGeometry pyramids (4 faces) with additive blending for the luminous effect.

Usage tips

🖥️ Watch the scene in fullscreen (F11) and let it rotate on its own — the 3-axis rotation creates patterns that never repeat exactly.
