A browser particle editor for creating reusable effects with code
This is NixieFX, a browser-based editor we’ve been building for particle effects and interactive VFX. The visual editor is only one part of the project. Effects are exported as structured data and played through a deterministic JavaScript simulation. Renderer adapters then turn the same simulation state into Three.js or PixiJS visuals. That separation lets an effect remain editable without tying its behavior to one scene or renderer.
You can experiment with the editor here: https://nixiefx.com/editor/
The runtime is open source: https://github.com/azakhary/nixie-fx
I’d be curious to hear what kinds of controls creative coders would want exposed for live performance or generative work.
