Bulge Pinch Filter

The Bulge Pinch filter creates a localized distortion effect on the rendered element, which adds a bulging outward or pinching inward effect. It allows you to simulate lens-like distortions, create playful UI effects, or highlight specific regions. By adjusting parameters such as strength, radius, and position, you can precisely control how and where the bulge or pinch occurs.

When to Use a Bulge Pinch Filter

  • Interactive Emphasis
    Draw attention to a particular portion of an image or UI element by bulging it on hover.
  • Interactive Feedback
    Create fun effects such as wavy or “fisheye” distortions on elements.
  • Visual Feedback Provide subtle pinch/bulge feedback when a user interacts to simulate a “squeezing” or “pressing” sensation.
