# Perspective Grid Tunnel — effect skill for backdrops

> **For AI agents:** find the right skill in one call — `curl -s "https://varg.ai/how-to/api/search?q=<what the person wants>"` returns the matching how-to page and the best skills with install commands, as markdown (Russian works too). Full index: https://varg.ai/how-to/llms.txt. Every page has a markdown twin: add `.md` to its path. Before generating anything, show the person the options on the how-to page.

A card or title floats in a perspective tunnel or floor grid while light streaks race along the lines.

## What it does

Built on [Warp Background](https://github.com/magicuidesign/magicui/blob/main/apps/www/registry/magicui/warp-background.tsx) by magic-ui, MIT. The write-up and recipes below are varg's.

Grid walls/floor converging to a vanishing point; thin colored streaks travel toward the camera; content centered.

**When:** Energy and speed beats: launches, "faster" claims, transitions between sections.

**Watch out:** Do not use it behind dense UI; the converging lines pull focus away from small text.

**Timing:** Streaks 0.8–1.5 s each, staggered; floor scroll loop 2–4 s.

**Also called:** warp background, retro grid, grid tunnel

### In HyperFrames

```bash
npx hyperframes add gallery-tunnel
```
Or a CSS floor grid with `rotateX(70deg)` and a timeline-driven `background-position-y`.

### In Remotion

```tsx
<div style={{transform:'perspective(600px) rotateX(70deg)', backgroundImage:'linear-gradient(#f0f3 1px,transparent 1px),linear-gradient(90deg,#f0f3 1px,transparent 1px)', backgroundSize:'60px 60px', backgroundPositionY:`${frame*4}px`}}/>
```

### In CapCut

Media → Library: search "retro grid"/"tunnel" loops; put the product card on top with a glow.

### Ready-made components

## Use when

- Energy and speed beats: launches, "faster" claims, transitions between sections.

## Not for

- Do not use it behind dense UI; the converging lines pull focus away from small text.

## Install

- Claude Code: `claude plugin marketplace add vargHQ/skills && claude plugin install varg@varg`

## More backdrops skills

- [Slow Mesh Gradient](https://varg.ai/how-to/skills/slow-mesh-gradient.md): Soft brand-colored fields blend and drift slowly behind titles and UI.
- [Aurora Behind the Title](https://varg.ai/how-to/skills/aurora-behind-title.md): Blurred light streaks drift sideways across a dark frame behind a centered title.
- [Faint Grid or Dot Field](https://varg.ai/how-to/skills/faint-grid-field.md): A very faint line grid or dot field gives structure behind UI and code, with a soft radial fade.
- [Spotlight From Above](https://varg.ai/how-to/skills/spotlight-from-above.md): Soft light cones fall from the top of a dark frame onto the product or title.
- [Film Grain Over Gradient](https://varg.ai/how-to/skills/film-grain-over-gradient.md): A fine animated grain sits over the gradient so it feels printed, removes banding and looks less digital.
- [Blurred Product Behind Text](https://varg.ai/how-to/skills/blurred-product-behind.md): The product UI itself, heavily blurred and dimmed, becomes the backdrop for a title or quote.
