"Protean clouds" is such a good example of what mastering shader coding can unlock.

@AlanZucconi Woah, this is beyond impressive. And tickles the itch to dive deep into shader programming...
@AlanZucconi Really great! I admit I don't understand the use of "1." and "2." in this line. Is it some kind of cast? But it already appears to be a float.
@benthroop I don't know exactly why 1. is there. But I suspect it might be as a placeholder for a possible parameter.
@AlanZucconi I said it before. I really wanna get into shaders just to be considered the shader wiz in my friends group lol
@AlanZucconi that's really cool and kind of relaxing to stare at 🤩😌🙏
@AlanZucconi we worked with Nimitz on Worlds Adrift's clouds based on his shader toy work... Such a smart, humble and helpful guy
@techartandy That's great to hear! Is he on Mastodon yet?
@AlanZucconi not that I've seen, he wasn't that prolific on Bird site either
@AlanZucconi they must be some pretty long lines lol
@TheBonsaiTreehouse the code is in the shadertoy link. Surprisingly it’s actually really short.
@BenBot ooh, what kind of computer could it run on? Minimum specs and all that
@TheBonsaiTreehouse shadertoy? It’s a website that should be supported on any browser that supports webgl.
There’s a link in the original tweet.
