Material Warp Effect — Fluid image warping for modern Framer

Material Warp Effect is a premium Framer code component that creates fluid, pointer-reactive image warping with a polished, high-end feel.

It is designed for portfolio, editorial, and modern product websites where motion should feel intentional rather than gimmicky. The effect responds smoothly to cursor movement and adds soft image distortion that feels alive without overpowering the layout.
