The Chaos Sphere Generator

The Chaos Sphere Generator is a browser-based studio for designing, animating, and 3D-printing chaos spheres, the three-dimensional evolution of the classic Chaos Star.

It’s completely free, runs entirely in your browser with nothing to install, and anything you upload stays on your device.

Ever since I published the Chaos Star Generator back in 2013, I’d been thinking about the challenges of building a Chaos Sphere Generator. If you dig through my articles from back then, you can see my early 3D explorations.

It started with discovering that the angle between a chaos sphere’s arrows is what science literally calls the Magic Angle. Which led me to incorporate the Chaos Mudra into my practice. Then I learned how to procedurally generate chaos spheres, tripped on them, and eventually hit the bugs that changed the way I see the symbol itself.

Then I went on a hiatus, with my attention more focused on my sex magic path. Until AI came into the picture. For someone like me, with solid programming experience and a good grasp of software architecture, AI coding works very well: I know how it should be done, and I can guide the stupid (but powerful) models to do the heavy lifting for me.

So this year I went on a roll. I finally launched the Chaos Follows You experiment. I completely revamped the Chaos Star Generator. I built a website to host my art. And now: the Chaos Sphere Generator.

I wanted an app where I could design chaos spheres, so I packed in all the features I’d always wanted.

  • Control every aspect of the shape: sphere, shafts, and cones.
  • Dress the material however you like: solid colors, amazing shaders, media (images, GIFs, videos. Yes, I know what you are thinking: you can use porn as a chaos sphere texture), or design a sigil on the fly.
  • Highly realistic material presets.
  • Eerie environments, including an amazing Chaos Magic Temple.

  • Random generation, one design or an endless stream, via “Inspire me randomly” or the “Surprise me” trip.

  • Export your chaos sphere as an image or a 3D model, including watertight, print-ready STL/3MF files you can send straight to your favorite 3D printer.
  • All of it shareable with links that land on the exact same design or trip you created (as you can see from the many links in this article). The only exceptions are your custom textures and sigils: nothing of yours is ever saved, and it never travels with the shared links. It does work locally and persists across browser refreshes, though.

About the Sigil texture mode: a built-in canvas editor for designing your own sigil. The 2:1 canvas uses the correct equirectangular ratio, so a pixel-circle drawn at the center projects as a true circle on the sphere’s face. The “Optimal Sigil Area” hairline shows where to place content so it lands centered on the front face. The sigil and the editor state both persist locally, and a “Download Sigil” button gives you a 1200 × 600 PNG. Combine this with the 3D Thrower motion in Trip mode (especially if you activate 3D glasses mode) and you have a powerful sigil charger.

Go make one: roll the dice with Inspire me randomly, charge a sigil, or drop in your own image. Then share the link and see where chaos takes you. caostar.com/sphere
