SB-01: Pure GLSL Tourbillon
Where high mathematics meets digital haute horlogerie
SB-01 is a pure mathematical digital art piece created by ST3PH-X to push the boundaries of modern WebGL and mobile graphics. Built entirely with raw GLSL shaders, Raymarching, and SDF geometry, this interactive experience renders a high-end conceptual mechanical watch in real-time — with zero external 3D models or heavy textures.
Hey Product Hunt,
I’m Stephaniia. I’m a creative engineer, and I love building things for the web that push the limits of mobile browser performance.
The SB-01 is my personal statement on minimalism and digital craftsmanship. I wanted to see if I could build a complex, high-complication mechanical tourbillon using absolute zero external libraries. No Three.js, no react-three-fiber, and no heavy assets.
Everything you see is written entirely in raw, hand-crafted GLSL shaders using Signed Distance Fields (SDF) and raymarching. Every single bridge, wheel, and sub-dial is pure math calculated directly on the GPU in real-time. If you look closely at the lower indicator, the distance field mathematically morphs into the branding, forming an S-B monogram in the negative space.
My dev setup is as minimalist as my code. I built this entirely inside Google Cloud Shell using their built-in terminal editor with simple syntax highlighting. I’ve always believed that you don't need heavy IDEs, local environments, or massive frameworks to write good programs. When you master the mathematics of the GPU, a web browser shell is all you need to create luxury.
It doesn’t click, it doesn’t push notifications, and it won't sell you anything. It just runs. Like a Marantz amplifier or a mechanical caliber, the value is entirely in the invisible engineering.
The live link is up. Open it on any device, look through the geometry, and let me know what you think of the math! I’m around in the comments if you want to talk shaders, SDFs, or low-level web graphics. For collaboration and custom WebGL inquiries, feel free to reach out directly.
Thank you for the support! 🚀
