The web of light a water surface casts below it. Built by folding the field into itself; the pointer sends rings through it.

Caustics

Clear water over a pale stone floor, or over your own image: rain rings and the cursor's wake spread as real capillary waves, catching a low sun on their slopes while a caustic net drifts on the floor below.

Water Ripple

A calm perspective ocean with directional swells, a distant horizon and soft sky reflections. Always moving, never cursor-driven.

Ocean Swell

Persistent pigment carried by a two-dimensional fluid: sweep to leave wisps that curl, stretch and slowly disappear.

Chromatic Vapor

A continuous obsidian liquid surface with field-shaped crests and broad studio reflections, inspired by ferrofluid.

Magnetic Ink

A composition of washes lands, spreads and dries on cold-press paper; then the pointer paints, each stroke in its own color, drying with darkened rims and glazing in real subtractive color.

Watercolor

A vortex ring of dense, milky smoke, as a vape ring is: tipped toward you, rolling round its core, its smoke rising up the outside and sinking down through the hole. The pointer parts the nearby smoke.
