# Grainy Mesh Gradient Background

> Grainy mesh gradient background in WebGL2: a breathing glacier-blue mesh under hairline drafting guides and circles, printed with fine grain. The bloom follows the pointer, guides glint, and a click drops a ring through the mist. Five presets, optional snapping crosshair. React only.
