A frosted glass lens that blurs, tints and bends whatever is sitting behind it.
Liquid Fill
Flood any source with liquid, in any colour, pouring in any direction you point it.
- By Andi v0.0.2 Beta
- Windows macOS Linux
- OBS 28+
A liquid wash that floods a source from one edge to the other. A solid body fills in behind ragged drips that run on ahead, so it reads like something pouring rather than a flat wipe.
The default look is the gun-barrel blood fall, but it is any colour you want: paint, slime, water, ink.
Everything it does
Key features
- Fall Progress drives the whole pour by hand, or keyframe it with the Move plugin
- Auto Play runs it for you, with duration, looping, loop hold and an acceleration curve
- Pours at any angle from 0 to 360 degrees, so down, up, sideways or diagonal
- Wash colour plus a deep colour that blends in with depth, so the body is not flat
- Drip count, reach, thickness, viscosity, raggedness and position jitter
- Fill unevenness and join smoothness, so the body does not arrive as a straight line
- Gloss, sheen width, sheen colour, rim light and streaks for the wet look
- Seed slider, and an option to randomise it on every play
- End Fully Flat so a loop always finishes on a clean edge
Drag the slider, or let it run
Fall Progress is a single 0 to 1 slider. Drag it and the liquid pours. That means you can drive it from anything that can move a filter value: a Move filter, a hotkey, Streamer.Bot over the WebSocket, or your own hand while you are setting it up.
If you would rather not drive it, switch on Auto Play and give it a duration.
It pours in any direction
Fall Direction is one angle. 0 pours down from the top, 180 pours up from the bottom, 90 runs across, and anything in between goes diagonal. The drips, the body and the depth shading all rotate with it.
A bottom-up fill is the one to use for a progress bar or a goal meter. A sideways fill works as a transition wipe.
Any liquid, not just blood
Wash Colour sets the body. Deep Colour blends in as the liquid gets deeper, which is what stops a large fill reading as a flat rectangle. Sheen Colour sets the wet highlight on the drip tips and the surface rim, and it defaults to a bright red because the shader was built for the blood look, so change it when you change the wash.
Drip count, reach and viscosity do the rest. Thin and fast reads as water, thick and slow reads as paint or slime.
No canvas expansion needed
The fill stays inside the source it is on, so there is nothing to expand and nothing to line back up afterwards. Drop it on a Colour Source for a full frame wash, or on a shaped source to fill that shape.

History
Patch notes
v0.0.2
- 6 fatter drips instead of 18 narrow ones. The old default photographed as a comb rather than liquid
- Joins rounded off and drip lengths varied, so the body does not arrive as a straight line
- Shallower depth falloff and less streaking, so a deep fill still reads as wet
v0.0.1
First release
Ready to try it?
Drop it on a source as a shader filter and it runs there. Nothing to sign into, nothing to keep open alongside it. Questions, ideas or something not working? We are in the Discord.
