A window patch of sunlight on paper with mullion and leaf shadows, for editorial and architecture studios.
About this tool
Paper Light is a patch of sun from a window falling on paper, crossed by the window frame and by leaves moving in the wind. It belongs to the Minimal family: restrained light whose richness is in the edge and the falloff. Drawn in raw WebGL2 with no library, with soft penumbras that widen with distance, filmic cores and slow atmospheric motion. The light, its aim, width, reach and the air around it are editable live, along with the background, the canvas size, an optional headline and subline, speed and pause. Rendering pauses off screen, in a hidden tab and under reduced motion, a lost graphics context rebuilds itself, and the canvas resizes with its box. The export is one self-contained HTML file.
