metaballs

Shaders 18

About

This shader uses Signed Distance Functions (SDFs) to create several "metaballs" that move, merge, and split in a smooth, liquid-like fashion. The colors are generated procedurally and shift over time, creating a mesmerizing, ever-changing abstract visual.

Built with React and Tailwind. Copy the prompt and paste it into Claude Code, Cursor or Lovable: your agent adds metaballs to your project and fits it to your theme.

Code

How metaballs is used: the demo's code. The component's own source comes with a free account.

Usage.tsx

"use client";

import ModernPulseShader from "@/components/ui/metaballs";

const settings = {
  gridSize: 8,
  speed: 1,
  grainIntensity: 0.05,
};

export default function Demo(props: Partial<typeof settings>) {
  const s = { ...settings, ...props };
  return (
    <div className="h-screen w-screen">
      <ModernPulseShader
        gridSize={s.gridSize}
        speed={s.speed}
        grainIntensity={s.grainIntensity}
      />
