Ether-Void Liquid Trigger
Live Preview
An avant-garde button that challenges standard UI boundaries. It utilizes an organic SVG blob shape processed through a fractal noise displacement filter for a 'liquid' effect. A floating glassmorphic pane sits asymmetrically in front of the content, creating a depth-heavy 3D stack. The component leverages perspective-based mouse tracking and CSS animations to feel alive, resembling a digital artifact rather than a standard utility button.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I manipulate the baseFrequency and numOctaves of the feTurbulence filter to transition the liquid effect from a gentle ripple to a high-viscosity sludge?
You can target the SVG filter primitives directly via CSS variables or JavaScript. Increasing baseFrequency above 0.05 creates smaller, more frequent ripples, while lowering it creates a smoother, viscous flow. Setting numOctaves higher increases detail but impacts CPU rendering; a value of 2 or 3 is optimal for maintaining the Ether-Void aesthetic without frame drops.
The multi-layered 3D tilt stack causes layout shifts in some browsers; how is the hardware acceleration optimized for the asymmetrical glassmorphic pane?
The component uses transform-style: preserve-3d on the parent container and applies will-change: transform to the glassmorphic layer. To prevent sub-pixel jitter during mouse tracking, the translateZ value is clamped between 20px and 50px, ensuring the depth-heavy stack remains composited on the GPU rather than the main thread.
How do I synchronize the stroke-dashoffset of the Interactive Orbital Dash Ring with the hover state to create a loading-progress visual metaphor?
The orbital ring utilizes an SVG path with a CSS transition on stroke-dashoffset. By calculating the path length using getTotalLength() and mapping the mouse-enter duration to a CSS variable --dash-progress, you can create a seamless charging effect that interacts with the fractal noise displacement map in real-time.
When transitioning between the default organic blob and its active state, how does the component handle vertex count mismatches in the SVG path data?
The Ether-Void Liquid Trigger requires both the rest and active path elements to have an identical number of anchor points. We recommend using an interpolation library like GSAP MorphSVG to transition the d attribute, ensuring that the fractal noise filter does not break or clip during the shape-shifting animation.
Does the backdrop-filter: blur() on the asymmetric glass pane cause legibility issues with the wide-kerning of Syncopate, and how is the contrast-ratio maintained?
To preserve the legibility of Syncopate's extended glyphs, the component applies a backdrop-filter: brightness(0.8) blur(12px) and a subtle text-shadow to the typography layer. This ensures that even when the liquid displacement filter moves high-contrast fractal noise behind the text, the Space Grotesk sub-headers remain compliant with WCAG AA contrast standards.
