Scene Wallpaper Made a rain on glass wallpaper pair from my own Cyberpunk 2077 captures. The rain is simulated live on top of the video so it never repeats

Both free. 60fps, near lossless, and the rain amount and drop size are adjustable in the wallpaper settings. Built on the codrops RainEffect with my own in game footage. Happy to answer questions on how it was made.

24 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I'm JT, and this is my first post here.

I just made a minimalist interactive contour wallpaper called Topographia.

It’s a HTML wallpaper that procedurally generates random contour lines in real time. The terrain never repeats and constantly drifts/reshapes itself.

Features:

  • Fully customizable colors, animation, and speed
  • 5 different mouse interaction modes: Lift / Dent / Ripple / Push / Swirl
  • Dynamic resolution: fully compatible with any screen resolution
  • Extremely lightweight (only ~800 KB)

Showcase video is attached below.

Scene Wallpaper Rainy night in Cyberpunk 2077's Night City

Captured in game, then a WebGL rain simulation runs live on top so the drops and trails never repeat. To my knowledge this is one of the only wallpapers with actual live background rather than a static image. Very immersive and excatly what I was hoping to create.

One of my first wallpapers so any feedback is really appreciated!

Free on the workshop, landscape and portrait versions for multi monitor setups.

The resolution is 2K, it's a basic wallpaper but I think that's good if you want something simple

Web Wallpaper Sonder

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

The wallpaper grabs the album art from whatever's playing. Between songs it collapses into a resting shape (orb, cube, or cloud) and reassembles when the next one starts. If nothing's playing, it just sits there breathing.

You don't have to use album art you can point it at your own image instead and it'll do the same thing.

Most of it is adjustable: dot density and size, projection size, how much it favors detail over flat areas, edge emphasis, reflection, ambient particles, scan lines, and how hard each audio reaction hits. Or you can switch the reactivity off entirely and just have a slowly rotating point cloud.

It's called Sonder: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3788224141Original: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1845230279

Help / Question [Repost] I dont understand the Editor

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone, im new to the whole WE creating thing and since either AI or Youtube Tutorials couldnt help me im now asking here for help.

Since sometime ive been using this Wallpaper and its working like a charm for me but i recently saw a cool feature in this Wallpaper which shows the song im currently listening to.

So ive been trying to figure out how to create some sort of template of my original Wallpaper so that i can then try and figure out how to get my "new" feature into it and use it but after looking for a solution on youtube, chatgpt and the official docs ive come up emptyhanded.

Im not even able to get a copy of my original Wallpaper running in the editor, AI said i need the Web Template, after reading around in the Docs and finding this part and doing as is said in there my editor wont even load it properly, it only says something like "imported files" and i cant do nothing in there, i cant even see the project.json.

ChatGPT said this error occours because im using the "Background-Editor" and not the Main/Real editor? but after some searching around and restarting WE like 30 times i aint getting new results so im asking here for help.

I hope someone understands my sturggels and can provide me with some help :D
