#326Liquid Gold Pour

A molten gold stream falls from the top of the tile, warped by sine and value-noise into a bright thread that pinches off one teardrop each cycle. The drop accelerates down, splashes into a pool at the bottom, and concentric ripples radiate outward. It is all a 2D signed-distance field whose gradient becomes a pseudo-3D normal sampling an orange→gold matcap, the deepest down-facing reflections tinted red, with a specular highlight running down the thread. Hover to steer where it lands, press to pour faster, scroll to sway the fall.
