Live PBR engine
Mercury, brushed chrome and oil-slick iridescence render at 120 fps while you drag a single slider.
Liquid chrome, rendered live
Pour liquid chrome into every interface
Nimbus is the browser-native 3D studio where product teams sculpt mercury, chrome and iridescent sheens in real time — then ship them as design tokens.
Everything pours in real time
No bakes, no render farms, no export-then-regret. Nimbus streams every material live from your GPU to the canvas.
Blob-aware geometry
Sketch a silhouette and watch it pour into smooth, morphing forms — metaballs and liquid highlights included.
Token-perfect exports
Ship any material as CSS variables, Lottie or glTF — light and dark pairs, AA-validated automatically.
From sketch to shipped chrome
Three steps. One browser tab. Zero render queues.
- 01
Sketch the form
Block out a blobby silhouette with the sculpt brush — strokes convert to chrome-ready meshes instantly.
- 02
Pour the material
Pick a mercury or iridescent preset, then tune roughness, reflectivity and sheen with sliders that never stutter.
- 03
Ship the tokens
Export production-ready CSS, Lottie or glTF straight into your design system — dark mode included.
Studios already shining
“We replaced three tools and a Blender plugin with Nimbus. Our chrome finally looks poured, not painted.”
“The iridescent export dropped straight onto our design tokens. It honestly felt a little illegal.”
“Nimbus turned our Y2K brand refresh into a two-week sprint. Clients keep asking if the buttons are real metal.”

Chrome, clarified
Does Nimbus really run entirely in the browser?
Yes. Nimbus renders through WebGL 2 and computes every material on your GPU — nothing to install, no render farm. Cloud sync only kicks in when you want version history.
Can I export materials into my design system?
Every material exports as CSS custom properties, Lottie or glTF. Light and dark token pairs are generated and contrast-checked for you automatically.
Do exports work with dark themes?
Yes — each export ships paired token sets for light and dark, both validated to WCAG AA, so your chrome reads as dark liquid metal, never washed-out white.
What hardware do I need?
Any machine with WebGL 2 and hardware acceleration — most laptops from the last six years qualify. The Mercury engine falls back gracefully to 60 fps on integrated graphics.
Can I cancel anytime?
Monthly plans cancel in one click from settings. You keep every export you have already shipped, forever.
