A jQuery plugin that adds an interactive water ripple effect to HTML element background images using WebGL. It simulates ripples triggered by cursor interaction or programmatically added drops.
Use cases
- add water ripple effect to background images
- make static CSS backgrounds interactive
- create cursor-triggered ripple animations on a webpage
- programmatically add water drops to a page background
- add WebGL visual effects to a jQuery site
When to choose
- you use jQuery and want a quick, dependency-light interactive background effect
- you want a WebGL water ripple without writing shader code
- your background images are same-origin and you need a simple drop-in plugin
When to avoid
- your project does not use jQuery
- you need effects on cross-origin images or without the OES_texture_float WebGL extension
- you need a modern framework (React/Vue) component or maintained active development
- you need high performance on low-end devices, since the simulation can be GPU-intensive
