Ink Smoke, a Metal shader for SwiftUI
SwiftUI Metal shader

Ink Smoke

Domain-warped fbm forms slow-curling ink tendrils. Four ink tones blend by the warped field; a wispy highlight rides the bright peaks.

How it works

Ink Smoke is a real [[stitchable]] Metal shader, not a video or an image. It runs as a SwiftUI .colorEffect, so it paints any view you attach it to. You shape it with sliders in a live preview, then export the .metal file and the SwiftUI code that uses it, or the React Native and Web version. No MSL to write.
