Fluido: A Figma plugin for generating liquid metal and chrome effects directly in the design canvas
By
Ihor Boldirev
Needed another two minutes in the oven. A half-baked bagel.
Summary
Fluido is a generative design tool built as a Figma plugin that allows designers to instantly transform any vector, text, or frame into liquid metal, chrome, and lava effects directly within Figma, eliminating the need for external 3D software like Blender or stock image searches. Created by maker Ihor, the tool brings generative liquid metal effects natively into the Figma design workflow.
Key quotes
· 4 pulledHonestly, as a designer, I've always been obsessed with those sleek liquid metal, chrome, and 'lava' effects.
But let's be real - creating them is usually a pain.
I really wanted to bring that generative power directly into the workflow where we actually do our design - Figma.
So, I built Fluido to fix exactly that.
