This scene simulates ferrofluid, a colloidal liquid of nanoscale magnetic particles suspended in oil that becomes strongly magnetized in the presence of a magnetic field. When a magnet is brought close to a pool of real ferrofluid, the fluid's surface erupts into a striking array of spikes as it seeks to minimize magnetic energy while surface tension and gravity fight to pull it flat, producing the famous crown-like patterns seen in ferrofluid art. Here three invisible "magnet" sources orbit beneath a reflective dark pool, each pulling the mesh upward into sharp, pulsing cone spikes wherever their fields overlap most strongly. Watch how spikes rise, split, and collapse as the magnets drift past one another, and how the metallic surface catches the colored rim lighting as it deforms.
