Metallic Paint

A metallic paint effect on a WebGL shader — liquid metal poured over an atom symbol.

Liquid metal rendered by a WebGL2 fragment shader. Underneath there is chromatic aberration, noise waves and fresnel reflections — together they make a surface that never sits still.

The atom shape is masked with vector SVG so the edges stay sharp no matter what the shader is doing inside.
