A collection of image-driven shaders for VS-2 inspired by granular synthesis, sampling the natural world through stock imagery. Graphic slice patterns, noise displacement, and raymarched 3D grain clouds move through waveform oscillators, pixel-sort breakdowns, and turbulent feedback textures. The aim was to create an Expansion Pack for VS 2 with a strong visual theme. Exploring […]

That’s led me into TouchDesigner — and with a 3D/C4D background, the new POPs operator family has been the thing pulling me in hardest. It feels like the […]
