Gooey Cursor

Installation

Anatomy

This effect relies on a fundamental SVG filter technique:

1. feGaussianBlur: First, we blur multiple circular divs so their edges overlap.
2. feColorMatrix: Then, we sharply increase the alpha contrast to solidify the blurred intersections into a gooey liquid bridge.

We use Framer Motion's useSpring with varying levels of stiffness and damping for each blob to create a natural delayed trailing effect.

Usage Guide

1. Import the Component

Import the component into your React or Next.js page:

import { GooeyCursor } from "@/components/creative/gooey-cursor";

2. Implementation Example

Render the component and customize its behavior by passing props:

import { GooeyCursor } from "@/components/creative/gooey-cursor";

export default function Example() {
  return (
    <div className="w-full flex items-center justify-center p-8">
      <GooeyCursor
        containerRef{/* value */}
      />
    </div>
  );
