# Point Morph Hero

> WebGL hero where eleven thousand points morph between a sphere, a torus knot, a wordmark sampled from canvas, a wave field, a lattice and a helix. Each morph bursts outward with a per-point stagger, depth drives size and color, the cursor parts the cloud, and a numbered index lets you pick a shape. Raw WebGL, no three.js.
