Ink Dissolve
Dense ink tendrils spreading through amber liquid with reaction-diffusion branching patterns.
What is Ink Dissolve?
Ink Dissolve is a free WebGL web effect in the TappyPrism library. Dense ink tendrils spreading through amber liquid with reaction-diffusion branching patterns. It is rendered on the GPU by a fragment shader, so it costs almost nothing on the CPU and works well as a full-screen background. It ships as a single self-contained HTML file (ink-dissolve.html) with zero dependencies — no npm package, no framework, no build step. It exposes 2 live parameters — Spread Speed, Tendril Detail — adjustable in the browser or at runtime.
Parameters
| Parameter | Key | Range | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spread Speed | SPREAD_SPEED | 0.1 – 1.5 | 0.4 |
| Tendril Detail | TENDRIL_DETAIL | 0.3 – 2 | 1 |
How to add Ink Dissolve to your page
- Download the standalone file ink-dissolve.html and copy its source into your project.
