About this reconstruction ↗
FROM LIGHT TO YOUR MARK
A procedural interpretation of Michael Nowak’s reveal, adapted to the exact glass diamond currently on noahlucas.com. The original authoring tools are unknown.
| 0–2.6 s | Coral and gold turbulence, diagonal rays, forward motion. |
| 2.6–3.1 s | Rapid contraction to a concentrated light source. |
| 3.1–4.2 s | Your unchanged diamond resolves and settles. |
| 4.2–8.15 s | Quiet hold with restrained glow and floor reflection. |
Built with one procedural light field and your original SVG. No fluid solver, packages, external assets, or network calls. The final geometry stays exact. “App tile” adds the reference’s optional dark shell.
For the site: use once as a brand reveal, then hold. A logo click can replay it. This study never blocks navigation. Reduced motion shows the finished mark. A software renderer handles devices without WebGL.
Reusable element: <noah-logo-reveal>. Methods: play(), pause(), seek(seconds). Add still for a static mark or tile for the glass shell. This file contains all source.
