dithered noise loop inspired by vitekvisuals.
I am always impressed by the features I find in ffmpeg. Here I used the filtergraph for pixelation and dithering.
sorry if this one is a bit creepy.
trying some fun relativistic warp effects
paint drop loop
Implementing this grid pattern/effect that I saw from Mario De Meyer.
octahedron rendered with tangent circles.
cyclic cellular automata and circle packing
trianglular apollonian gaskets
#genuary 2026 day 6: "Lights on/off. Make something that changes when you switch on or off the “digital” lights."
#genuary2026 day 3: "Fibonacci forever." (prompt by @Paolo_Curtoni@genart.social ) and a little bit of day 2: "12 principles of animation" (prompt by Anna Lucia)
#genuary2026 Day 7: "Boolean algebra. Get inspired by Boolean algebra, in any way."
#genuary2026 day 8: "A City. Create a generative metropolis."
squiggly rope simulation inspired by @juhani_halkomaki@genart.social
The color is based on the gradient of the distance field; I like the effect it produces.
#genuary day 5:
Write “Genuary”. Avoid using a font.
#genuary2026 day 4: "Lowres. An image or graphic with low resolution, where details are simplified or pixelated."
#genuary2026 day 12: "Crazy automaton. Cellular automata with crazy rules."
harmonic twist
extrdued, mirrored, worley noise with manhattan distance metric
always fun to come back to particle loops on occasion.
some unfinished sketches, mostly exploring various boolean operations on VDBs.
genuary day 1 and 12:
looping tessellation.

I did not yet post my implementation, but this site provides a great reference: https://people.csail.mit.edu/jaffer/Marbling/Dropping-Paint

@sparrows@calamity.world Thanks. Making it loop was actually easier than expected: as new paint drops are added, the original background gradually gets obscured, and eventually, there are no more "background pixels" remaining. The trick is to just run it long enough.
@lttrspc@typo.social @fontspectrum@typo.social
These are great examples, thank you.
It demonstrates that the effect is common, but it was hard to find any standard name for the effect.
I did find this Octothorpe article (https://pampatype.com/blog/octothorpe-concept), which describes it as a "multilinear letter style".
Replying to
@marktheasctic@sfba.social I mean noise as in "Perlin noise", for example, from which to drive various attributes like color, size, etc

@sstadnicki@mathstodon.xyz Thank you! The entire scene is a shader written in GLSL (via the openRNDR framework). It uses ray marching and signed distance fields.
@Benhm3@mastodon.social I see it used in a lot of places. No doubt the Olympics as well. Just not sure if there was an official name
