## What it is
A small JavaScript library that draws and animates images with WebGL-based distortion effects when hovering. It wraps Three.js and GSAP to create smooth image-to-image transitions using a displacement map.

## Use cases
- add animated image transitions on hover to a website
- create WebGL distortion hover effects for portfolio thumbnails
- animate between two images with a displacement map
- build eye-catching image hover effects without writing shader code
- add liquid distortion image transitions to a landing page

## When to choose
- you want a quick, dependency-light way to add WebGL image hover/distortion effects
- you already use Three.js and GSAP in your frontend
- you need a simple API to transition between two images on hover

## When to avoid
- you need a full animation framework or general-purpose WebGL engine
- you need effects other than image-to-image distortion transitions
- you need a library with frequent updates or broad browser support guarantees

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: animation, image-processing, graphics
- domain: web-development, frontend, graphics
- platform: browser
- tags: webgl, threejs, gsap, hover-effects, image-transition, distortion-effect, nodejs
