When to Use

This production-ready React UI component is perfect for deep space-themed landing pages, sci-fi portfolios, and immersive hero sections. Use this interactive fluid simulation to create a moving, 'cosmic nebula' effect that responds to every mouse movement, giving your Next.js site a high-end, cinematic feel.

Best Practices

Maintain consistent spacing within your design system by using this as a full-viewport hero background. Follow React best practices by setting a lower `dissipation` value for a more persistent cloud effect. Optimize for performance in large-scale applications by enabling mouse interaction only on desktop devices.

Why This Component Matters in Modern UI Development

Fluid simulations are a hallmark of premium modern frontend development. This customizable UI component helps you build a real-world application architecture that feels atmospheric and technically superior, improving user engagement and retention.

Frequently Asked Questions

QIs it heavy on the GPU?

This component is built with OGL (a lightweight WebGL library) and is highly optimized for performance, though it's best to test on lower-end devices.

QCan I change the nebula colors?

Yes, you can fully customize the `baseColor` and `glowColor` using RGB arrays (0 to 1) to match your brand's palette.

QDoes it work as a static background?

While intended to be dynamic, you can disable `interactive` to create a steady, hypnotic drift that adds texture without direct user control.
