Hero245: Desert Dunes Hero

A full-bleed hero over the dune-field component, a desert at golden hour raymarched in a WebGL shader with sharp-crested dunes, sky-tinted shadows, wind ripples and warm haze, where the camera glides slowly over the sand and turns with the cursor; a large headline, an intro and two buttons sit low on the left over a soft shade.

This installs the block to components/beste/block/hero245.tsx plus the dune-field background and the button23 and button2 buttons it uses.

Quick start

The installed file exports hero245Demo alongside the block: the exact props behind the preview above. Spread it to get a working hero in one line.

import { Hero245, hero245Demo } from "@/components/beste/block/hero245";

export default function Page() {
  return <Hero245 {...hero245Demo} />;
}

Then replace the demo with your own props. Written out, a trimmed setup looks like this:

import { Hero245 } from "@/components/beste/block/hero245";

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <Hero245
      eyebrow="A desert camp at the edge of the Erg Chebbi"
      heading="Nothing to do but watch the light."
      description="Twelve tents, one long table and dunes in every direction."
      buttons={[
        { label: "Plan your stay", href: "/stay" },
        { label: "See the camp", href: "/camp" },
      ]}
      desert={{ sandColor: "#d9a066", skyColor: "#6d8fbf", sunHeight: 0.25, sunAngle: -32, ripples: 0.6 }}
    />
  );
}

Props

type ActionButton = {
  label: string;
  href: string;
};

Behavior notes

• On arrival the light comes up out of the dusk over 2.6 seconds, and the copy rises in from 0.3 seconds so it lands as the scene brightens.
• Text is a fixed white (text-white with opacity steps) over a black/60 to transparent gradient from the bottom, so it reads over bright sand in both themes. The desert is a lit scene, like a photograph, so it does not follow the theme.
• The view turns with the cursor when interactive is on; touch input is ignored.
• The render loop pauses offscreen or in a hidden tab, with the pixel ratio capped at 1.5.
• With reduced motion, the desert holds one fully lit still frame and the copy skips its rise-in. Without WebGL, a painted gradient of sky, haze and sand stands in.
