- Install:
npm i vanta - Registry: vanta · Framework: html · License: MIT
- Docs and preview: https://www.vantajs.com/?effect=birds
- Source: https://github.com/tengbao/vanta/blob/master/src/vanta.birds.js
- Example: https://skills.varg.ai/previews/lib-vanta-birds.mp4?v=344907 (Rendered by varg from the library’s own code (Vanta.js · rendered by varg))
- Time: Drive from the frame. Runs on its own clock (requestAnimationFrame, timers, springs or CSS). Drive it from frame / fps before rendering, or the render drifts.
- Runs: local render, free

Prompt that renders it frame-exact
Use the Vanta.js Birds effect (https://www.vantajs.com/?effect=birds, MIT, source github.com/tengbao/vanta/blob/master/src/vanta.birds.js) as the full-frame background behind the opening title. Load three.js r134 and [email protected]/dist/vanta.birds.min.js, then mount VANTA.BIRDS on a div that fills the frame with mouseControls, touchControls and gyroControls set to false. Birds is a GPU flocking simulation that reads performance.now every requestAnimationFrame, so make it deterministic: seed Math.random before init, swap performance.now and requestAnimationFrame for a virtual clock that advances 1000/fps ms per video frame, and render frames in order from frame 0 (the flock carries state, so replay from the start after a backwards seek). Take backgroundColor, color1 and color2 from the brand palette, keep quantity at 3–4 so the title stays readable, and lower speedLimit for a calmer flock.
