Terminal bloom: a mint green 3D ASCII flower on a clean dark screen
Terminal bloom renders the bloom shape, a cluster of rounded petals, in mint ASCII characters over a deep forest green. Its Characters ramp is reversed to run from # and X down to a blank space, which means bright surfaces get the heavy glyphs and the dark backdrop prints nothing at all. What you get is a flower made of text floating on an empty terminal screen, turned to Rotate X 20 and Rotate Y 30.
Make it yours
Sharpen the petal edges
Contrast is at the default 120. Raising Contrast toward 160 pushes mid-tones apart, so petals that overlap are typed with clearly different glyphs and the flower gains depth.
Make it a classic green phosphor
The mint Ink is deliberately soft. For an old CRT feel, pick a more saturated green for Ink and darken Light color to almost black, leaving Cell size at 8 so the text stays fine.
FAQ
What is the difference between Terminal bloom and Code sculpture?
Both use the ASCII effect, but they treat the background in opposite ways. Code sculpture fills the dark screen with dense characters and carves the knot out of them. Terminal bloom reverses the ramp to "#Xx=+:. " so the screen stays blank and only the bloom form is typed out, in a softer mint on green.
How it works
Pick a source
Use one of 10 built-in 3D shapes, import a GLB, OBJ or STL model, or upload a PNG, JPG or WebP image.
Choose an effect
Switch between 9 effects and set cell size, contrast, brightness and, for ASCII, the characters used.
Color and use it
Keep the source colors or go duotone with your own palette, then sign in with a free UX Pilot account to use it on the canvas or export it.
