# Jelly

> Glass jellies full of candy-coloured toys that float like they're in water, tumble out of the way of the pointer and pop into new shapes with every click. A real-time WebGPU experiment by Luis Bizarro.

Soft glass shapes (a crumpled drop, a twisting cube, a faceted gem, fused bubbles, a puffy star, an urchin, a heart, a pill, a cloud and a flower) float on a pastel studio backdrop, each full of little kawaii toys: stars, flowers, donuts, pluses, hexagons and moons in six candy colours. The toys are suspended as if in water inside the actual shape of the glass, drifting on small eddies and tumbling; the pointer stirs the glass like a fluid and scatters the toys. Clicking bounces the glass like jelly into the next shape while the toys pop into new shapes and colours. The glass is ray marched through a distance volume baked every frame on the GPU, with spectral refraction that splits light into colour wherever the glass bends it.
