Hey everyone 👋
New effect just landed: Magnetic Particles 🧲
Layerwave's third effect, and the one I redesigned until it earned its place. The rule it follows: your image stays intact until something disturbs it. Move the cursor through and the picture tears into particles — each one carrying the pixel it came from — flies out, and heals back the moment you leave.
6 presets: Iron Filings, Repulsor, Stardust, Sandstorm, Pixel Swarm, Portrait Mist
Emergence sets how easily the image gives up its pixels — from "sheds at a breath" to "solid until you push hard"
Cavity Color decides what shows where the image tore open — black reads as a punched hole; match your section background and the particles peel off the page
Scroll reactivity built in, so it animates on phones. Sandstorm is the scroll-led preset.
Also in this update: a fix that keeps every slider in sync with a running instance — changes now apply live in all three effects, no re-insert needed.
To update: open the plugin and insert once ("component updated" notice) — existing instances pick it up automatically.

Have fun & show me what you make with it 👀
