Pixel Smear Wordmark

A wordmark rendered to a canvas, uploaded as a texture, and sampled through a shader that drags it under the cursor. The displacement is not the pointer position, it is the pointer's velocity: each fragment snaps its UV to a forty by forty grid, measures the distance from that cell's centre to the cursor, and offsets its sample along the direction the cursor last travelled, scaled by a smoothstep falloff. So the letters only smear while the mouse is actually moving, and the grid quantisation is what makes the smear read as blocks rather than a smooth warp. Two easing rates are used deliberately: slow on enter and leave so the field settles, faster while moving so it tracks. Three.js.
