Fluid Distortion for React Three Fiber

Implementing post-processing fluid distortion effects in response to cursor interactions for React-Three-Fiber. Based on the shaders developed by Pavel Dobryakov

Try it :

codesandbox

Installation :

npm install @whatisjery/react-fluid-distortion @react-three/drei @react-three/postprocessing postprocessing leva

Example of use :

import { Fluid } from '@/whatisjery/react-fluid-distortion';
import { EffectComposer } from '@react-three/postprocessing';
import { Canvas } from '@react-three/fiber';

<Canvas
    style={{
        position: 'fixed',
        top: 0,
        left: 0,
        height: '100vh',
        width: '100vw',
        background: '#000000',
    }}>
    <EffectComposer>
        <Fluid />
        {... other effets}
    </EffectComposer>
</Canvas>;

Options :

| Name | Type | Default Value | Description | | ---------------------- | ----------- | ------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | fluidColor | hexadecimal | #005eff | Sets the fluid color. Effective only when rainbow is set to false. | | backgroundColor | string | #070410 | Sets the background color. Effective only when showBackground is true. | | showBackground | boolean | false | Toggles the background color's visibility. If false it becomes transprent. | | blend | number | 5 | Blends fluid into the scene when showBackground is true. Valid range: 0.00 to 10.0. | | intensity | number | 10 | Sets the fluid intensity. Valid range: 0 to 10. | | force | number | 2 | Multiplies the mouse velocity to increase fluid splatter. Valid range: 0.0 to 20. | | distortion | number | 2 | Sets the distortion amount. Valid range: 0.00 to 2.00. | | radius | number | 0.3 | Sets the fluid radius. Valid range: 0.01 to 1.00. | | curl | number | 10 | Sets the amount of the curl effect. Valid range: 0.0 to 50. | | swirl | number | 20 | Sets the amount of the swirling effect. Valid range: 0 to 20. | | velocityDissipation | number | 0.99 | Reduces the fluid velocity over time. Valid range: 0.00 to 1.00. | | densitionDissipation | number | 0.95 | Reduces the fluid density over time. Valid range: 0.00 to 1.00. | | pressure | number | 0.80 | Controls the reduction of pressure. Valid range: 0.00 to 1.00. | | rainbow | boolean | true | Activates color mode based on mouse direction. No range applicable as this is a boolean value. |

Usage with nextjs

If you're working with an older version of Next.js, you may get this type of error:

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading '__SECRET_INTERNALS_DO_NOT_USE_OR_YOU_WILL_BE_FIRED')

To fix it, you can enable package transpilation in your next.config file. Here’s how:

const nextConfig = {
    transpilePackages: ['@whatisjery/react-fluid-distortion'],
};

module.exports = nextConfig;
