Effect

Elastic Grid

Warp the frame on a stretchy grid for liquid, elastic distortion.

Warping an image on a deformable grid is a staple of animation and live visuals: vertices move, texture follows, the picture behaves like rubber. It sits between subtle lens correction and full liquid distortion.

Stretch points gently for organic motion. Pull hard for comic elasticity.
