Enhanced jQuery Ripples: a WebGL-powered jQuery plugin that brings realistic water ripple effects to any web element.
This modernized version includes:
• Screen space reflections for accurate content mirroring
• Physically-based specular highlights using GGX microfacet BRDF
• Dynamic light direction control
• Improved mouse and touch interaction with variable strength
• Performance optimizations for smooth 60 FPS animations
Works great for hero sections, interactive art installations, or product showcases where you need visual impact.
The pure WebGL implementation handles complex wave interference that CSS filters cannot match.
