# Liquid Metal Vortex

> This component uses raymarching to render a swirling vortex of reflective, metallic fluid. The UI allows you to control the vortex's color hue, the speed of its rotation and turbulence, and the complexity of the fluid's surface. The lighting is dynamic and reacts to the fluid's shape, creating realistic metallic sheens.
