Upon the creation of my Hero series there were many sketches, experiments, and explorations. This is an 'origin' piece that led and inspired the creation of the final series.
Do you ever feel completely balanced and also totally all chaotic at once? I cannot think of a more perfect representation of this than the gryo. The naming is a cute headnod to my favorite place of creation, Philadelphia. Matte green was combined w/ a glossy finish, excited reflections, and just a hint of glow to complete the pieces.
This generative piece was created in 924 lines of code using the shader language GLSL and runs in real-time. The technique used to create this is called raymarching and is done in a single in a fragment shader.
This shader has been rendered out in 4k resolution at 60fps.
