-# HTML-in-Canvas Patterns
-
-HyperFrames' most powerful visual capability. Capture ANY live HTML/CSS as a GPU texture, then render it through WebGL shaders, Three.js 3D scenes, or post-processing effects — at 60fps, pixel-perfect, with every CSS feature supported.
-
-**Read this file when a beat deserves cinematic treatment beyond flat GSAP animations.** Use for 1-3 hero beats per video, not every beat. The rest can use standard GSAP — the contrast between flat beats and HTML-in-Canvas beats IS part of the visual storytelling.
-
----
-
-## Core Boilerplate (same in every HTML-in-Canvas composition)
-
-Every HTML-in-Canvas effect shares this structure. Learn this once, adapt it for any effect.
-
-```html
-<!-- 1. Source HTML — your content goes inside a layoutsubtree canvas -->
-<canvas
-  id="hic-source"
-  layoutsubtree
-  width="1920"
-  height="1080"
-  style="position:absolute;inset:0;opacity:0;"
->
-  <div id="hic-content" style="width:1920px;height:1080px;">
-    <!-- YOUR HTML CONTENT HERE — text, images, cards, dashboards, anything -->
-  </div>
-</canvas>
-
-<!-- 2. Render target — the visible canvas that shows the effect -->
-<canvas id="hic-output" width="1920" height="1080" style="position:absolute;inset:0;"></canvas>
-```
-
-```js
-// 3. Feature detection — always check, always provide fallback
-function isHiCSupported() {
-  var tc = document.createElement("canvas");
-  if (!("layoutSubtree" in tc)) return false;
-  tc.setAttribute("layoutsubtree", "");
-  var ctx = tc.getContext("2d");
-  return ctx && typeof ctx.drawElementImage === "function";
-}
-var apiOk = isHiCSupported();
-
-// 4. Capture function — call this every frame in onUpdate
-var capCanvas = document.getElementById("hic-source");
-var capCtx = capCanvas.getContext("2d");
-function captureContent() {
-  if (apiOk) {
-    capCtx.drawElementImage(document.getElementById("hic-content"), 0, 0, 1920, 1080);
-  }
-}
-
-// 5. Drive from GSAP timeline — capture + render every frame
-tl.to(
-  proxy,
-  {
-    /* your animation properties */
-    duration: BEAT_DURATION,
-    ease: "sine.inOut",
-    onUpdate: function () {
-      captureContent();
-      // render your effect here (Three.js or WebGL2)
-    },
-  },
-  0,
-);
-```
-
-**Fallback:** When `drawElementImage` is not available (preview without Chrome flag), draw a solid-color placeholder or use Canvas 2D text. The HyperFrames renderer auto-enables the flag — the effect WILL work in the final video. See the liquid-glass block for a complete fallback example.

-## Effect Catalog
-
-### 1. 3D Rotation with Bloom (Three.js)
-
-**What it looks like:** Content floats in 3D space, slowly rotating with cinematic glow around bright edges. Like a product screenshot displayed in a dark theater.
-
-**When to use:** Hero product showcase, feature reveal, CTA with premium feel.
-
-**Key Three.js components:** `PlaneGeometry` + `CanvasTexture` + `EffectComposer` + `UnrealBloomPass`
-
-```js
-// After the boilerplate above, add:
-var scene3d = new THREE.Scene();
-var camera = new THREE.PerspectiveCamera(45, 1920 / 1080, 0.1, 100);
-camera.position.set(0, 0, 4);
-
-var renderer = new THREE.WebGLRenderer({
-  canvas: document.getElementById("hic-output"),
-  antialias: true,
-  alpha: true,
-});
-renderer.setSize(1920, 1080);
-
-var texture = new THREE.CanvasTexture(capCanvas);
-var mesh = new THREE.Mesh(
-  new THREE.PlaneGeometry(3.6, 2.2),
-  new THREE.MeshBasicMaterial({ map: texture }),
-);
-scene3d.add(mesh);
-
-// Post-processing: bloom for cinematic glow.
-// EffectComposer / RenderPass / UnrealBloomPass are ES-module named imports
-// (see the import block below) — they're NOT properties of THREE in modern
-// versions. Three.js r150+ removed the UMD `examples/js/` globals.
-var composer = new EffectComposer(renderer);
-composer.addPass(new RenderPass(scene3d, camera));
-composer.addPass(new UnrealBloomPass(new THREE.Vector2(1920, 1080), 0.3, 0.4, 0.85));
-
-var proxy = { rotY: -0.12, zoom: 4.2 };
-tl.to(
-  proxy,
-  {
-    rotY: 0.12,
-    zoom: 3.6,
-    duration: BEAT_DURATION,
-    ease: "sine.inOut",
-    onUpdate: function () {
-      captureContent();
-      texture.needsUpdate = true;
-      mesh.rotation.y = proxy.rotY;
-      camera.position.z = proxy.zoom;
-      composer.render();
-    },
-  },
-  0,
-);
-```
-
-**Load Three.js and post-processing via ESM (use a `type="module"` script):**
-
-```html
-<script type="module">
-  import * as THREE from "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/three@0.181.2/+esm";
-  import { EffectComposer } from "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/three@0.181.2/examples/jsm/postprocessing/EffectComposer.js";
-  import { RenderPass } from "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/three@0.181.2/examples/jsm/postprocessing/RenderPass.js";
-  import { ShaderPass } from "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/three@0.181.2/examples/jsm/postprocessing/ShaderPass.js";
-  import { UnrealBloomPass } from "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/three@0.181.2/examples/jsm/postprocessing/UnrealBloomPass.js";
-  // ... rest of composition code using these imports
-</script>
-```
-
-The `examples/js/` path was removed in Three.js r152. Use `examples/jsm/` (ES modules) with `three@0.181.2` — the version used by the HyperFrames Three.js adapter.
-

-
-### 2. Magnetic Cursor Distortion (Raw WebGL2)
-
-**What it looks like:** Content warps and bends toward a moving point, like a magnet pulling on pixels. Chromatic aberration splits RGB channels at the distortion site.
-
-**When to use:** Interactive feel, product demo with cursor, "look at THIS feature" moment.
-
-**Key technique:** Custom fragment shader with Gaussian warp + chromatic split. No Three.js needed — just raw WebGL2.
-
-```js
-// WebGL2 setup
-var gl = document.getElementById("hic-output").getContext("webgl2", {
-  alpha: false,
-  preserveDrawingBuffer: true,
-});
-
-// Vertex shader — full-screen quad
-var VS = `#version 300 es
-in vec2 a_pos;
-out vec2 v_uv;
-void main() {
-  v_uv = a_pos * 0.5 + 0.5;
-  gl_Position = vec4(a_pos, 0.0, 1.0);
-}`;
-
-// Fragment shader — magnetic warp + chromatic aberration
-var FS = `#version 300 es
-precision highp float;
-in vec2 v_uv;
-out vec4 fragColor;
-uniform sampler2D u_tex;
-uniform vec2 u_cursor;   // cursor position (0-1)
-uniform float u_strength; // warp strength (0-1)
-
-void main() {
-  vec2 uv = v_uv;
-  vec2 delta = uv - u_cursor;
-  float dist = length(delta);
-  float warp = u_strength * exp(-dist * dist * 8.0);
-  vec2 warped = uv - delta * warp * 0.3;
-
-  // Chromatic aberration at distortion site
-  float aberration = warp * 0.008;
-  float r = texture(u_tex, warped + vec2(aberration, 0.0)).r;
-  float g = texture(u_tex, warped).g;
-  float b = texture(u_tex, warped - vec2(aberration, 0.0)).b;
-  fragColor = vec4(r, g, b, 1.0);
-}`;
-
-// Compile, link, setup quad geometry, upload texture...
-// (See registry/blocks/vfx-magnetic/vfx-magnetic.html for complete implementation)
-
-// Drive cursor position from GSAP
-var proxy = { cx: 0.2, cy: 0.5, strength: 0.0 };
-tl.to(
-  proxy,
-  {
-    cx: 0.8,
-    cy: 0.4,
-    strength: 1.0,
-    duration: BEAT_DURATION,
-    ease: "power2.inOut",
-    onUpdate: function () {
-      captureContent();
-      // Upload texture, set uniforms, draw
-      gl.uniform2f(cursorLoc, proxy.cx, proxy.cy);
-      gl.uniform1f(strengthLoc, proxy.strength);
-      gl.drawArrays(gl.TRIANGLE_STRIP, 0, 4);
-    },
-  },
-  0,
-);
-```
-
----
-
-### 3. Shatter / Fragment Explosion (Three.js)
-
-**What it looks like:** Content breaks into geometric fragments that fly apart, revealing what's behind.
-
-**When to use:** Dramatic transition, "breaking free" moment, tension release.
-
-**Key technique:** Subdivide the source texture into triangle mesh fragments using BufferGeometry, then animate each fragment's position/rotation with GSAP.
-
-Study `registry/blocks/vfx-shatter/vfx-shatter.html` for the complete 1156-line implementation. The core idea:
-
-```js
-// 1. Capture content to texture (same boilerplate)
-// Seeded PRNG for determinism — Math.random() is banned
-function mulberry32(seed) {
-  return function () {
-    seed |= 0;
-    seed = (seed + 0x6d2b79f5) | 0;
-    var t = Math.imul(seed ^ (seed >>> 15), 1 | seed);
-    t ^= t + Math.imul(t ^ (t >>> 7), 61 | t);
-    return ((t ^ (t >>> 14)) >>> 0) / 4294967296;
-  };
-}
-var rng = mulberry32(42);
-
-// 2. Create N triangle fragments from the texture
-var fragments = [];
-for (var i = 0; i < NUM_FRAGMENTS; i++) {
-  var geom = new THREE.BufferGeometry();
-  var mesh = new THREE.Mesh(geom, new THREE.MeshBasicMaterial({ map: texture }));
-  scene3d.add(mesh);
-  fragments.push({ mesh: mesh, targetPos: randomExplosionVector(rng), delay: rng() * 0.5 });
-}
-
-// 3. Animate: first hold still, then EXPLODE
-tl.to({}, { duration: holdTime }, 0);
-fragments.forEach(function (frag) {
-  tl.to(
-    frag.mesh.position,
-    {
-      x: frag.targetPos.x,
-      y: frag.targetPos.y,
-      z: frag.targetPos.z,
-      duration: 0.8,
-      ease: "power3.in",
-    },
-    holdTime + frag.delay,
-  );
-  tl.to(
-    frag.mesh.rotation,
-    { x: rng() * 4, y: rng() * 4, duration: 0.8, ease: "power2.in" },
-    holdTime + frag.delay,
-  );
-});
-```
-

-
-### 4. Liquid / Fluid Surface (Three.js)
-
-**What it looks like:** Content floats above a rippling liquid surface with real-time wave dynamics. Or content IS the surface, undulating like water.
-
-**When to use:** Organic/premium feel, ambient background, "living" product showcase.
-
-**Key technique:** Subdivided PlaneGeometry with vertex displacement driven by noise functions in a vertex shader.
-
-Study `registry/blocks/vfx-liquid-background/vfx-liquid-background.html` for the 1244-line implementation. Core idea:
-
-```js
-// Custom vertex shader with wave displacement
-var vertexShader = `
-  varying vec2 vUv;
-  uniform float u_time;
-  void main() {
-    vUv = uv;
-    vec3 pos = position;
-    // Sine wave displacement
-    pos.z += sin(pos.x * 3.0 + u_time * 2.0) * 0.15;
-    pos.z += cos(pos.y * 2.5 + u_time * 1.5) * 0.1;
-    gl_Position = projectionMatrix * modelViewMatrix * vec4(pos, 1.0);
-  }
-`;
-
-var mesh = new THREE.Mesh(
-  new THREE.PlaneGeometry(4, 3, 64, 64), // heavily subdivided for smooth waves
-  new THREE.ShaderMaterial({
-    vertexShader: vertexShader,
-    fragmentShader: `varying vec2 vUv; uniform sampler2D u_tex;
-      void main() { gl_FragColor = texture2D(u_tex, vUv); }`,
-    uniforms: {
-      u_tex: { value: texture },
-      u_time: { value: 0 },
-    },
-  }),
-);
-```
-
----
-
-### 5. Portal / Dimensional Reveal (Three.js)
-
-**What it looks like:** A glowing circular portal opens and content emerges through it from another dimension.
-
-**When to use:** Product reveal, "entering the app" moment, hero feature introduction.
-
-Study `registry/blocks/vfx-portal/vfx-portal.html` for the complete 863-line implementation.

-## When to Use HTML-in-Canvas vs Standard GSAP
-
-| Scenario                         | Use                                  | Why                                  |
-| -------------------------------- | ------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------ |
-| Hero product screenshot showcase | HTML-in-Canvas (3D rotation + bloom) | Makes flat UI feel cinematic         |
-| Feature list / stats             | Standard GSAP                        | Content-focused, doesn't need 3D     |
-| CTA / brand reveal               | HTML-in-Canvas (portal or magnetic)  | Makes the moment memorable           |
-| Social proof / logos             | Standard GSAP                        | Orderly cascade, trust is steady     |
-| Transition between acts          | HTML-in-Canvas (shatter)             | Dramatic act break                   |
-| Background atmosphere            | HTML-in-Canvas (liquid surface)      | Premium ambient feel                 |
-| Quick feature cards              | Standard GSAP                        | Speed matters, 3D would slow it down |
-
----
-
-## More Effects You Can Build
-
-These aren't in the VFX blocks — build them yourself from the core boilerplate + a custom fragment shader. Each effect is a single GLSL function applied to the captured texture.
-
-### 6. Noise Dissolve
-
-Content dissolves into noise particles, revealing what's behind. Great for transitions.
-
-```glsl
-// Fragment shader — noise-based dissolve
-uniform float u_progress; // 0.0 = fully visible, 1.0 = fully dissolved
-uniform sampler2D u_tex;
-
-float hash(vec2 p) {
-  return fract(sin(dot(p, vec2(127.1, 311.7))) * 43758.5453);
-}
-
-void main() {
-  vec2 uv = v_uv;
-  float noise = hash(uv * 50.0);
-  float threshold = u_progress;
-  if (noise < threshold) {
-    // Edge glow at the dissolve boundary
-    float edge = smoothstep(threshold - 0.05, threshold, noise);
-    fragColor = vec4(1.0, 0.6, 0.2, 1.0) * (1.0 - edge); // orange edge glow
-  } else {
-    fragColor = texture(u_tex, uv);
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### 7. Holographic / Iridescent
-
-Content gets a rainbow-shifting holographic sheen that moves with time. Premium, futuristic feel.
-
-```glsl
-uniform float u_time;
-uniform sampler2D u_tex;
-
-void main() {
-  vec4 color = texture(u_tex, v_uv);
-  // Iridescent color shift based on position + time
-  float angle = v_uv.x * 6.28 + v_uv.y * 3.14 + u_time * 0.5;
-  vec3 holo = vec3(
-    sin(angle) * 0.5 + 0.5,
-    sin(angle + 2.094) * 0.5 + 0.5,
-    sin(angle + 4.189) * 0.5 + 0.5
-  );
-  // Blend holographic over content (subtle overlay)
-  fragColor = vec4(mix(color.rgb, holo, 0.15 + 0.1 * sin(u_time)), color.a);
-}
-```
-
-### 8. Scan Lines + CRT
-
-Retro CRT monitor look — scan lines, slight curvature, phosphor glow. Great for "code" or "terminal" beats.
-
-```glsl
-uniform sampler2D u_tex;
-uniform float u_time;
-
-void main() {
-  vec2 uv = v_uv;
-  // Barrel distortion (CRT curvature)
-  vec2 centered = uv - 0.5;
-  float dist = dot(centered, centered);
-  uv = uv + centered * dist * 0.15;
-
-  vec4 color = texture(u_tex, uv);
-  // Scan lines
-  float scanline = sin(uv.y * 800.0) * 0.04;
-  color.rgb -= scanline;
-  // Slight RGB offset (phosphor)
-  color.r = texture(u_tex, uv + vec2(0.001, 0.0)).r;
-  color.b = texture(u_tex, uv - vec2(0.001, 0.0)).b;
-  // Vignette
-  float vignette = 1.0 - dist * 2.0;
-  fragColor = vec4(color.rgb * vignette, 1.0);
-}
-```
-
-### 9. Frosted Glass Blur
-
-Content behind frosted glass — visible but softened, with subtle light refraction. Good for "behind the scenes" or "coming soon" moments.
-
-```glsl
-uniform sampler2D u_tex;
-uniform float u_blur; // 0.0 = clear, 1.0 = full frost
-
-void main() {
-  vec2 uv = v_uv;
-  vec4 color = vec4(0.0);
-  // Box blur with offset
-  float radius = u_blur * 0.015;
-  for (float x = -2.0; x <= 2.0; x += 1.0) {
-    for (float y = -2.0; y <= 2.0; y += 1.0) {
-      color += texture(u_tex, uv + vec2(x, y) * radius);
-    }
-  }
-  color /= 25.0;
-  // Add frost noise texture
-  float frost = fract(sin(dot(uv * 200.0, vec2(12.9898, 78.233))) * 43758.5453);
-  color.rgb += frost * 0.03 * u_blur;
-  fragColor = color;
-}
-```
-
-### 10. Pixel Sort / Glitch Art
-
-Pixels rearrange themselves in vertical or horizontal strips — digital art aesthetic. Great for tech/creative brands.
-
-```glsl
-uniform sampler2D u_tex;
-uniform float u_intensity; // 0-1
-
-void main() {
-  vec2 uv = v_uv;
-  // Random horizontal displacement per row
-  float row = floor(uv.y * 80.0);
-  float noise = fract(sin(row * 127.1) * 43758.5);
-  float displace = step(0.7, noise) * u_intensity * 0.1;
-  // Shift UV with RGB split
-  float r = texture(u_tex, uv + vec2(displace, 0.0)).r;
-  float g = texture(u_tex, uv).g;
-  float b = texture(u_tex, uv - vec2(displace * 0.5, 0.0)).b;
-  fragColor = vec4(r, g, b, 1.0);
-}
-```
-

-
-## Creating ANY Custom Effect
-
-The fragment shaders above are templates. The pattern is always:
-
-1. **Capture your HTML content** with `drawElementImage` (the boilerplate at the top)
-2. **Upload the captured canvas as a WebGL texture**
-3. **Write a fragment shader** that reads from the texture and outputs modified colors
-4. **Drive shader uniforms from GSAP** via `onUpdate`
-
-Any GLSL effect from ShaderToy, The Book of Shaders, CodePen, or anywhere else can be adapted:
-
-1. Find an effect you like (search "GLSL [effect name]" or browse shadertoy.com)
-2. Copy the fragment shader
-3. Replace `iResolution` with `vec2(1920.0, 1080.0)`, `iTime` with your `u_time` uniform
-4. Add `uniform sampler2D u_tex;` for the captured content texture
-5. Wire the uniforms to GSAP proxy values
-
-**Geometry ideas beyond flat planes:**
-
-- `SphereGeometry` — content mapped onto a globe (world map, global reach)
-- `CylinderGeometry` — content on a rotating cylinder (carousel/scroll feel)
-- `TorusGeometry` — content wrapped around a ring (infinity, cycle)
-- `BoxGeometry` — content on a 3D box (product packaging, dice)
-- GLTF models — content mapped as screen texture on phone, laptop, monitor (see `vfx-iphone-device`)
-
-**Post-processing stacking** (Three.js EffectComposer):
-
-- Bloom + film grain = cinematic
-- Bloom + chromatic aberration = lens effect
-- Depth of field + vignette = focused attention
-- Film grain + scan lines = retro
-- Multiple passes stack — add as many as you want
-
-**You are not limited to the effects listed here.** If you can imagine a visual treatment, you can build it. The HTML-in-Canvas API gives you the source material (any HTML rendered as a texture), and WebGL/Three.js gives you unlimited creative control over how that material is presented.
+# HTML-in-Canvas Patterns
+
+HyperFrames' most powerful visual capability. Capture ANY live HTML/CSS as a GPU texture, then render it through WebGL shaders, Three.js 3D scenes, or post-processing effects — at 60fps, pixel-perfect, with every CSS feature supported.
+
+**Read this file when a beat deserves cinematic treatment beyond flat GSAP animations.** Use for 1-3 hero beats per video, not every beat. The rest can use standard GSAP — the contrast between flat beats and HTML-in-Canvas beats IS part of the visual storytelling.
+
+---
+
+## Core Boilerplate (same in every HTML-in-Canvas composition)
+
+Every HTML-in-Canvas effect shares this structure. Learn this once, adapt it for any effect.
+
+```html
+<!-- 1. Source HTML — your content goes inside a layoutsubtree canvas -->
+<canvas
+  id="hic-source"
+  layoutsubtree
+  width="1920"
+  height="1080"
+  style="position:absolute;inset:0;opacity:0;"
+>
+  <div id="hic-content" style="width:1920px;height:1080px;">
+    <!-- YOUR HTML CONTENT HERE — text, images, cards, dashboards, anything -->
+  </div>
+</canvas>
+
+<!-- 2. Render target — the visible canvas that shows the effect -->
+<canvas id="hic-output" width="1920" height="1080" style="position:absolute;inset:0;"></canvas>
+```
+
+```js
+// 3. Feature detection — always check, always provide fallback
+function isHiCSupported() {
+  var tc = document.createElement("canvas");
+  if (!("layoutSubtree" in tc)) return false;
+  tc.setAttribute("layoutsubtree", "");
+  var ctx = tc.getContext("2d");
+  return ctx && typeof ctx.drawElementImage === "function";
+}
+var apiOk = isHiCSupported();
+
+// 4. Capture function — call this every frame in onUpdate
+var capCanvas = document.getElementById("hic-source");
+var capCtx = capCanvas.getContext("2d");
+function captureContent() {
+  if (apiOk) {
+    capCtx.drawElementImage(document.getElementById("hic-content"), 0, 0, 1920, 1080);
+  }
+}
+
+// 5. Drive from GSAP timeline — capture + render every frame
+tl.to(
+  proxy,
+  {
+    /* your animation properties */
+    duration: BEAT_DURATION,
+    ease: "sine.inOut",
+    onUpdate: function () {
+      captureContent();
+      // render your effect here (Three.js or WebGL2)
+    },
+  },
+  0,
+);
+```
+
+**Fallback:** When `drawElementImage` is not available (preview without Chrome flag), draw a solid-color placeholder or use Canvas 2D text. The HyperFrames renderer auto-enables the flag — the effect WILL work in the final video. See the liquid-glass block for a complete fallback example.
+
+---
+
+## Effect Catalog
+
+### 1. 3D Rotation with Bloom (Three.js)
+
+**What it looks like:** Content floats in 3D space, slowly rotating with cinematic glow around bright edges. Like a product screenshot displayed in a dark theater.
+
+**When to use:** Hero product showcase, feature reveal, CTA with premium feel.
+
+**Key Three.js components:** `PlaneGeometry` + `CanvasTexture` + `EffectComposer` + `UnrealBloomPass`
+
+```js
+// After the boilerplate above, add:
+var scene3d = new THREE.Scene();
+var camera = new THREE.PerspectiveCamera(45, 1920 / 1080, 0.1, 100);
+camera.position.set(0, 0, 4);
+

+### 2. Magnetic Cursor Distortion (Raw WebGL2)
+
+**What it looks like:** Content warps and bends toward a moving point, like a magnet pulling on pixels. Chromatic aberration splits RGB channels at the distortion site.
+
+**When to use:** Interactive feel, product demo with cursor, "look at THIS feature" moment.
+
+**Key technique:** Custom fragment shader with Gaussian warp + chromatic split. No Three.js needed — just raw WebGL2.
+
+```js
+// WebGL2 setup
+var gl = document.getElementById("hic-output").getContext("webgl2", {
+  alpha: false,
+  preserveDrawingBuffer: true,
+});
+
+// Vertex shader — full-screen quad
+var VS = `#version 300 es
+in vec2 a_pos;
+out vec2 v_uv;
+void main() {
+  v_uv = a_pos * 0.5 + 0.5;
+  gl_Position = vec4(a_pos, 0.0, 1.0);
+}`;
+
+// Fragment shader — magnetic warp + chromatic aberration
+var FS = `#version 300 es
+precision highp float;
+in vec2 v_uv;
+out vec4 fragColor;
+uniform sampler2D u_tex;
+uniform vec2 u_cursor;   // cursor position (0-1)
+uniform float u_strength; // warp strength (0-1)
+
+void main() {
+  vec2 uv = v_uv;
+  vec2 delta = uv - u_cursor;
+  float dist = length(delta);
+  float warp = u_strength * exp(-dist * dist * 8.0);
+  vec2 warped = uv - delta * warp * 0.3;
+
+  // Chromatic aberration at distortion site
+  float aberration = warp * 0.008;
+  float r = texture(u_tex, warped + vec2(aberration, 0.0)).r;
+  float g = texture(u_tex, warped).g;
+  float b = texture(u_tex, warped - vec2(aberration, 0.0)).b;
+  fragColor = vec4(r, g, b, 1.0);
+}`;
+
+// Compile, link, setup quad geometry, upload texture...
+// (See registry/blocks/vfx-magnetic/vfx-magnetic.html for complete implementation)
+
+// Drive cursor position from GSAP
+var proxy = { cx: 0.2, cy: 0.5, strength: 0.0 };
+tl.to(
+  proxy,
+  {
+    cx: 0.8,
+    cy: 0.4,
+    strength: 1.0,
+    duration: BEAT_DURATION,
+    ease: "power2.inOut",
+    onUpdate: function () {
+      captureContent();
+      // Upload texture, set uniforms, draw
+      gl.uniform2f(cursorLoc, proxy.cx, proxy.cy);
+      gl.uniform1f(strengthLoc, proxy.strength);
+      gl.drawArrays(gl.TRIANGLE_STRIP, 0, 4);
+    },
+  },
+  0,
+);

+
+### 3. Shatter / Fragment Explosion (Three.js)
+
+**What it looks like:** Content breaks into geometric fragments that fly apart, revealing what's behind.
+
+**When to use:** Dramatic transition, "breaking free" moment, tension release.
+
+**Key technique:** Subdivide the source texture into triangle mesh fragments using BufferGeometry, then animate each fragment's position/rotation with GSAP.
+
+Study `registry/blocks/vfx-shatter/vfx-shatter.html` for the complete 1156-line implementation. The core idea:
+
+```js
+// 1. Capture content to texture (same boilerplate)
+// Seeded PRNG for determinism — Math.random() is banned
+function mulberry32(seed) {
+  return function () {
+    seed |= 0;
+    seed = (seed + 0x6d2b79f5) | 0;
+    var t = Math.imul(seed ^ (seed >>> 15), 1 | seed);
+    t ^= t + Math.imul(t ^ (t >>> 7), 61 | t);
+    return ((t ^ (t >>> 14)) >>> 0) / 4294967296;
+  };
+}
+var rng = mulberry32(42);
+
+// 2. Create N triangle fragments from the texture
+var fragments = [];
+for (var i = 0; i < NUM_FRAGMENTS; i++) {
+  var geom = new THREE.BufferGeometry();
+  var mesh = new THREE.Mesh(geom, new THREE.MeshBasicMaterial({ map: texture }));
+  scene3d.add(mesh);
+  fragments.push({ mesh: mesh, targetPos: randomExplosionVector(rng), delay: rng() * 0.5 });
+}
+
+// 3. Animate: first hold still, then EXPLODE
+tl.to({}, { duration: holdTime }, 0);
+fragments.forEach(function (frag) {
+  tl.to(
+    frag.mesh.position,
+    {
+      x: frag.targetPos.x,
+      y: frag.targetPos.y,
+      z: frag.targetPos.z,
+      duration: 0.8,
+      ease: "power3.in",
+    },
+    holdTime + frag.delay,
+  );
+  tl.to(
+    frag.mesh.rotation,
+    { x: rng() * 4, y: rng() * 4, duration: 0.8, ease: "power2.in" },
+    holdTime + frag.delay,
+  );
+});
+```
+

+
+### 4. Liquid / Fluid Surface (Three.js)
+
+**What it looks like:** Content floats above a rippling liquid surface with real-time wave dynamics. Or content IS the surface, undulating like water.
+
+**When to use:** Organic/premium feel, ambient background, "living" product showcase.
+
+**Key technique:** Subdivided PlaneGeometry with vertex displacement driven by noise functions in a vertex shader.
+
+Study `registry/blocks/vfx-liquid-background/vfx-liquid-background.html` for the 1244-line implementation. Core idea:
+
+```js
+// Custom vertex shader with wave displacement
+var vertexShader = `
+  varying vec2 vUv;
+  uniform float u_time;
+  void main() {
+    vUv = uv;
+    vec3 pos = position;
+    // Sine wave displacement
+    pos.z += sin(pos.x * 3.0 + u_time * 2.0) * 0.15;
+    pos.z += cos(pos.y * 2.5 + u_time * 1.5) * 0.1;
+    gl_Position = projectionMatrix * modelViewMatrix * vec4(pos, 1.0);
+  }
+`;
+
+var mesh = new THREE.Mesh(
+  new THREE.PlaneGeometry(4, 3, 64, 64), // heavily subdivided for smooth waves
+  new THREE.ShaderMaterial({
+    vertexShader: vertexShader,
+    fragmentShader: `varying vec2 vUv; uniform sampler2D u_tex;
+      void main() { gl_FragColor = texture2D(u_tex, vUv); }`,
+    uniforms: {
+      u_tex: { value: texture },
+      u_time: { value: 0 },
+    },
+  }),
+);
+```
+

+
+### 5. Portal / Dimensional Reveal (Three.js)
+
+**What it looks like:** A glowing circular portal opens and content emerges through it from another dimension.
+
+**When to use:** Product reveal, "entering the app" moment, hero feature introduction.
+
+Study `registry/blocks/vfx-portal/vfx-portal.html` for the complete 863-line implementation.
+
+---
+
+## When to Use HTML-in-Canvas vs Standard GSAP
+
+| Scenario                         | Use                                  | Why                                  |
+| -------------------------------- | ------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------ |
+| Hero product screenshot showcase | HTML-in-Canvas (3D rotation + bloom) | Makes flat UI feel cinematic         |
+| Feature list / stats             | Standard GSAP                        | Content-focused, doesn't need 3D     |
+| CTA / brand reveal               | HTML-in-Canvas (portal or magnetic)  | Makes the moment memorable           |
+| Social proof / logos             | Standard GSAP                        | Orderly cascade, trust is steady     |
+| Transition between acts          | HTML-in-Canvas (shatter)             | Dramatic act break                   |
+| Background atmosphere            | HTML-in-Canvas (liquid surface)      | Premium ambient feel                 |
+| Quick feature cards              | Standard GSAP                        | Speed matters, 3D would slow it down |
+

+
+## More Effects You Can Build
+
+These aren't in the VFX blocks — build them yourself from the core boilerplate + a custom fragment shader. Each effect is a single GLSL function applied to the captured texture.
+
+### 6. Noise Dissolve
+
+Content dissolves into noise particles, revealing what's behind. Great for transitions.
+
+```glsl
+// Fragment shader — noise-based dissolve
+uniform float u_progress; // 0.0 = fully visible, 1.0 = fully dissolved
+uniform sampler2D u_tex;
+
+float hash(vec2 p) {
+  return fract(sin(dot(p, vec2(127.1, 311.7))) * 43758.5453);
+}
+
+void main() {
+  vec2 uv = v_uv;
+  float noise = hash(uv * 50.0);
+  float threshold = u_progress;
+  if (noise < threshold) {
+    // Edge glow at the dissolve boundary
+    float edge = smoothstep(threshold - 0.05, threshold, noise);
+    fragColor = vec4(1.0, 0.6, 0.2, 1.0) * (1.0 - edge); // orange edge glow
+  } else {
+    fragColor = texture(u_tex, uv);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 7. Holographic / Iridescent
+
+Content gets a rainbow-shifting holographic sheen that moves with time. Premium, futuristic feel.
+
+```glsl
+uniform float u_time;
+uniform sampler2D u_tex;
+
+void main() {
+  vec4 color = texture(u_tex, v_uv);
+  // Iridescent color shift based on position + time
+  float angle = v_uv.x * 6.28 + v_uv.y * 3.14 + u_time * 0.5;
+  vec3 holo = vec3(
+    sin(angle) * 0.5 + 0.5,
+    sin(angle + 2.094) * 0.5 + 0.5,
+    sin(angle + 4.189) * 0.5 + 0.5
+  );
+  // Blend holographic over content (subtle overlay)
+  fragColor = vec4(mix(color.rgb, holo, 0.15 + 0.1 * sin(u_time)), color.a);
+}
+```
+
+### 8. Scan Lines + CRT
+
+Retro CRT monitor look — scan lines, slight curvature, phosphor glow. Great for "code" or "terminal" beats.
+
+```glsl
+uniform sampler2D u_tex;
+uniform float u_time;
+
+void main() {
+  vec2 uv = v_uv;
+  // Barrel distortion (CRT curvature)
+  vec2 centered = uv - 0.5;
+  float dist = dot(centered, centered);
+  uv = uv + centered * dist * 0.15;
+
+  vec4 color = texture(u_tex, uv);
+  // Scan lines
+  float scanline = sin(uv.y * 800.0) * 0.04;
+  color.rgb -= scanline;
+  // Slight RGB offset (phosphor)
+  color.r = texture(u_tex, uv + vec2(0.001, 0.0)).r;
+  color.b = texture(u_tex, uv - vec2(0.001, 0.0)).b;
+  // Vignette
+  float vignette = 1.0 - dist * 2.0;
+  fragColor = vec4(color.rgb * vignette, 1.0);
+}
+```
+
+### 9. Frosted Glass Blur
+
+Content behind frosted glass — visible but softened, with subtle light refraction. Good for "behind the scenes" or "coming soon" moments.
+
+```glsl
+uniform sampler2D u_tex;
+uniform float u_blur; // 0.0 = clear, 1.0 = full frost
+
+void main() {
+  vec2 uv = v_uv;
+  vec4 color = vec4(0.0);
+  // Box blur with offset
+  float radius = u_blur * 0.015;
+  for (float x = -2.0; x <= 2.0; x += 1.0) {
+    for (float y = -2.0; y <= 2.0; y += 1.0) {
+      color += texture(u_tex, uv + vec2(x, y) * radius);
+    }
+  }
+  color /= 25.0;
+  // Add frost noise texture
+  float frost = fract(sin(dot(uv * 200.0, vec2(12.9898, 78.233))) * 43758.5453);
+  color.rgb += frost * 0.03 * u_blur;
+  fragColor = color;
+}
+```
+
+### 10. Pixel Sort / Glitch Art
+
+Pixels rearrange themselves in vertical or horizontal strips — digital art aesthetic. Great for tech/creative brands.
+
+```glsl
+uniform sampler2D u_tex;
+uniform float u_intensity; // 0-1
+
+void main() {
+  vec2 uv = v_uv;
+  // Random horizontal displacement per row
+  float row = floor(uv.y * 80.0);
+  float noise = fract(sin(row * 127.1) * 43758.5);
+  float displace = step(0.7, noise) * u_intensity * 0.1;
+  // Shift UV with RGB split
+  float r = texture(u_tex, uv + vec2(displace, 0.0)).r;
+  float g = texture(u_tex, uv).g;
+  float b = texture(u_tex, uv - vec2(displace * 0.5, 0.0)).b;
+  fragColor = vec4(r, g, b, 1.0);
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Creating ANY Custom Effect
+
+The fragment shaders above are templates. The pattern is always:
+
+1. **Capture your HTML content** with `drawElementImage` (the boilerplate at the top)
+2. **Upload the captured canvas as a WebGL texture**
+3. **Write a fragment shader** that reads from the texture and outputs modified colors
+4. **Drive shader uniforms from GSAP** via `onUpdate`
+
+Any GLSL effect from ShaderToy, The Book of Shaders, CodePen, or anywhere else can be adapted:
+
+1. Find an effect you like (search "GLSL [effect name]" or browse shadertoy.com)
+2. Copy the fragment shader
+3. Replace `iResolution` with `vec2(1920.0, 1080.0)`, `iTime` with your `u_time` uniform
+4. Add `uniform sampler2D u_tex;` for the captured content texture
+5. Wire the uniforms to GSAP proxy values
+
+**Geometry ideas beyond flat planes:**
+
+- `SphereGeometry` — content mapped onto a globe (world map, global reach)
+- `CylinderGeometry` — content on a rotating cylinder (carousel/scroll feel)
+- `TorusGeometry` — content wrapped around a ring (infinity, cycle)
+- `BoxGeometry` — content on a 3D box (product packaging, dice)
+- GLTF models — content mapped as screen texture on phone, laptop, monitor (see `vfx-iphone-device`)
+
+**Post-processing stacking** (Three.js EffectComposer):
+
+- Bloom + film grain = cinematic
+- Bloom + chromatic aberration = lens effect
+- Depth of field + vignette = focused attention
+- Film grain + scan lines = retro
+- Multiple passes stack — add as many as you want
+
+**You are not limited to the effects listed here.** If you can imagine a visual treatment, you can build it. The HTML-in-Canvas API gives you the source material (any HTML rendered as a texture), and WebGL/Three.js gives you unlimited creative control over how that material is presented.
