Not just CSS, it's used to set parameters but looks like the actual rendering is done in a <canvas> element controlled by JS.

My apologies Kroltan, I accidentally replied to the wrong comment earlier! It's a shame the project disapeared I would have loved to have seen that :D

Rubber is a hard thing to get right imo, I was trying to paint it for one of the brush thumbnails of a rubber stamp (https://www.mediafire.com/view/46tten5kkzh2i99/Stamp_Diamond...) - and it was really difficult, I still don't think I got it quite right xD So I can't imagine how tough it would have been to try and create that texture using only CSS and JS back then
