Water Ripple
The grand finale of every great demo, a glowing scene mirrored in restless water. Sine waves bend the reflection while ripples roll from your fingertip.
ater Ripple recreates the classic demoscene closer where the whole world doubles itself in water. The scene is drawn live so stars twinkle, windows flicker and the Arcynia logo pulses, then the surface below rebuilds it line by line as a mirrored reflection. Every scanline is displaced by two layered sine waves that grow stronger with depth, with a vertical swell on top, so the image bends and breathes like real water. Three scenes set the mood. SUNSET sinks a striped synthwave sun behind purple ridges, CITY mirrors a night skyline full of flickering windows and MOON floats a giant cratered moon over still dark water. Click to drop a ring wave that rolls across the surface and fades, or hold to whip up the wind until the reflection churns. The waterline glimmers between the two worlds.
