If you think that's cool you'll like this guy's equations too. Written in GLSL so they run in your browser in real time as well. https://x.com/zozuar https://x.

And, of course there's also the classic Shadertoy https://www.shadertoy.com/results?query=&sort=love https://www.shadertoy.com/results?query=&sort=love
- distortionfield 3y agoDoing this inside the character limit is blowing my mind rn
- omoikane 3y agoThat's what I was thinking as well -- these are equations that generate colors in 2D space, so essentially pixel shaders, but for this particular effect I wonder if it would be simpler with some geometry shaders, and have a 3D engine take care of the shadows.
- ranting-moth 3y agoThere's something in many of those those Zozuar animations that trigger what I'm sure is a primal fear with me. Fascinating stuff but some of it is terrifying.
- mensetmanusman 3y agoIt’s non-stop uncanny valley.
- Aardwolf 3y agoPerhaps because biological creatures themselves can exhibit complex shapes and patterns through simpler mathematical principles like fractals and cellular automata
- Angostura 3y agoCame here to say exactly that. Fascinating, but deeply unnerving for some reason.
