Move the pointer inside the stage and GSAP spawns lightweight image particles at a throttled interval.
Move the pointer inside the stage and GSAP spawns lightweight image particles at a throttled interval. Each mark drifts, rotates, and fades out without blocking interaction.
Built for embedded previews on landing pages: a faint legend shows the icon set while a hint invites exploration.
