Create a 3D Glowing Potion Sphere (Lottie JSON) + Droplet Animation with Liquid Fill and Ripple Effect

Magical Link Capsule Animation

Goal:
Create a Lottie (.json) animation of a magical 3D glowing capsule, representing a couple’s emotional evolution through shared moments.
The capsule should fill up gradually and include a special animation when a glowing droplet falls inside.

1. Main Animation (Fluid Filling)

A transparent and luminous glass sphere (polished glass / magic potion look).

The inner liquid should be gold and pink, with soft reflections, fluid wave motion, and floating glowing particles.

The liquid level rises smoothly from 0% to 100% (10-second animation).

Transparent background.

Style: soft, poetic, romantic (not cartoonish).

Visual mood: “a living magical potion” (see provided visual reference).

2. Secondary Animation (Adding a Memory or Challenge)

A glowing droplet falls from the top of the scene into the capsule.

Upon contact:

A circular ripple wave spreads across the liquid surface.

The sphere emits a soft, pulsing glow from within.

The liquid level rises slightly (approx. +5%).

(Optional) Add a small halo or sparkle at the moment of impact.
