# Chrome Wire

> Objet pack asset: a thin polished chrome wire bent into a scribbled loop-de-loop with wavy tails, raymarched in WebGL against studio softboxes. The loop wriggles and twists through depth as it turns, so highlights run along the wire. Leans toward the cursor and spins when dragged. The metal tint is a prop. Zero dependencies; any number share one WebGL context.

## Install

One-time setup (needs a subscription):

1. Add the registry to the project's `components.json`: `{"@assembli":{"url":"https://assembli-rho.vercel.app/r/{name}.json","headers":{"Authorization":"Bearer ${ASSEMBLI_API_KEY}"}}}` (merge into `"registries"`).
2. Put an API key from https://assembli-rho.vercel.app/account in `.env.local` as `ASSEMBLI_API_KEY=asm_…`.

Then install with the shadcn CLI (writes `components/objet-wire/objet-wire.tsx` and installs dependencies):

```bash
npx shadcn@latest add @assembli/objet-wire
```

Registry item JSON: https://assembli-rho.vercel.app/r/objet-wire.json (send `Authorization: Bearer <api key>`)
