Ray marching is a technique for rendering a 3D scene onto a 2D screen. As the name suggests, a bundle of rays marches incrementally, checking for intersections with objects. This post will walk through how to implement ray marching in GLSL step by step, covering topics such as distance maps, n...
Cellular noise partitions space based on the distance to a set of seed points, producing organic, cell-like patterns. It finds applications in computer graphics, natural simulations, and generative art. In this post, we explore several variations of the cellular noise implemented in GLSL: Voro...
This article summarizes the fundamentals of well-known noise functions, for example, Value, Perlin, Simplex noises, and describes how to use them.
Now, it’s time to design a custom pattern to illustrate the shader. Since all vertex and fragment is “blind” to others, we have to script a code with different manner from the concurrent programming. Thus, the position and color of a vertex should be defined with its own attributes and the sha...
