I came to the conclusion the last few days that #MartianGraphics was always going to be a super niche product, because... like... I imagine what would have happened if, instead of creating my own tools, I downloaded someone else's 2 years ago.
I wouldn't have understood what they were for. I wouldn't end up learning what all the other nodes in Geometry Nodes do. It'd be like when I was poking around blindly in shader nodes, just hookin things together because I'd found -something- that worked.
And this is what she does.
(Usually, much more slowly. She hangs onto a given composition for around 15 seconds, but you can hit Shuffle at any time to get something new.)

This is also very much what I'm considering the first iteration of the idea. It's a super minimal implementation, with intentionally small goals so I can get the hang of this.
But things are going well enough that it has me thinking about the 2.0 version more, and what I might be able to do.
The goal has always been to port the concepts of #MartianGraphics to a realtime interactive environment. I'm starting to see where that goes a bit more clearly.
It's not immediately obvious, but this post and my bouncing ball shader are intimately linked, because they're both kinda distillations of the core concepts I'm using. And they use largely the same action. The shader draws shapes, and uses rotation and a sine wave to move them around. Guess what this geonodes system is doing? But it's also very #MartianGraphics-y, because of those trails. Without simulation. That was the trick.
Attached: 1 image There is now a lupe display that can be toggle off and on. Just displays how far we are through the current iteration. Not visible here is the new onscreen display for demo mode, so you know it's cycling through the available effects. Next, I intend to add some onscreen controls for speed, and maybe some other stuff. #Godot #Dejah
