I came across Apple’s liquid glass animation and was instantly hooked by how clean and smooth it looked.
I thought, Why not try making my own version?
So I started studying the effect, how the glass behaves, the way light reflects, and the overall minimal Apple-style feel.
From there, I built the entire animation from scratch, focusing on realistic liquid distortion, subtle reflections, and that signature shine. It was a fun challenge and a great way to push my motion design skills toward a more premium, high-end look.

Saw Apple’s liquid Glass Effect and gave it a shot, studied the style, then recreated the Shine, Reflection, and Smooth finish entirely from scratch.
