Image Particles to Globe Morph
An original sunset poster drawn with canvas is sampled into 36,000 coloured points laid out as a flat image; press and hold and they spring onto a spinning globe — the picture wrapped as its map — through a burst of turbulence, then unfold when you let go.

Featured WebGL Particle Morph Between Shapes
Thirty thousand additive points morph between a sphere, a torus knot, a cube and a heart; every particle starts on its own random schedule and takes a swirling detour, so each change of shape reads as a swarm rather than a slide.

Featured WebGL Liquid Hover Distortion (WebGL)
A Three.js plane shows a procedurally painted image that warps like liquid under the pointer (noise UV displacement weighted by distance and speed, with a velocity-driven RGB split); hovering a swatch melts it into a second image.

Featured WebGL Refractive Glass Blob
A noise-displaced icosahedron rendered as fake glass: the headline and drifting colour blobs behind it are rendered to a texture and refracted through the blob with chromatic aberration, a lime Fresnel rim and a specular hit, while it follows the pointer.

WebGL Particles to Wordmark on Scroll
Twenty thousand points drift in a sphere, converge into the word MOTION as a pinned section is scrolled, hold on the wordmark, then disperse again — each particle on its own randomly staggered path inside one vertex shader driven by a scrubbed uProgress.
