How the GOO Room Works

The GOO Room is where you’ll distort images and create GOOvies. 
The room provides a series of tools that let you play with the images as 
if they were made out of liquid. There are also tools that let you save 
your distorted image at different stages. You can then create an 
animation, or GOOvie, out of your distortions.

Image Canvas

The Image Canvas, found in both the GOO and FUSION Rooms, is 
where your selected image appears. All modifications to your image 
are displayed here in real-time.
