Liquid Distortion Effects with PixiJS and GSAP

Liquid Distortion Effects are WebGL effects that use PixiJS, a popular WebGL renderer, and GSAP, a Javascript animation tool. They produce beautiful underwater/liquid-like effects when applied on any image.

The effect works by using a displacement map texture and applying it to an object (image). This will give the illusion of a distorted animation of the underlying object.

The effects definitely create some mesmerizing visuals, which will look cool on your website or any other web projects that you are working on.
