Rainbow progress. It's surprisingly hard to make a rainbow gradient! HSV & Oklab gradients don't work. Orange/yellow are wide. Green/teal/blue are tiny. Surprises: - The middle color is yellow - Full HSV spectrum unused. No pink! - Rainbows look wrong without film grain

o=FC/r.y;

I’ll do better

I’m still rocking the RTX 2060

Reflections are 180 degree rotations in a higher dimension

Every byte counts

"Bits 2" for(float i,z,d;i++<1e2;){vec3 p=z*normalize(FC.rgb*2.-r.xyy);p.y+=t;for(d=.6;d<9.;d/=.7)p+=cos(round(p.zxy*d)-.5*t)/d;z+=d=.002+abs(abs(p.z+8.)-.5)/4e1;o+=(sin(z+p.y+vec4(0,1,3,0))+1.5)/d;}o=tanh(o/9e3);

Consider yourself supported. This dev is cool. Love all the custom VFX

Where are the adults?
