I've kept playing with shader programming and managed to export a trained neural network's weights as GLSL variable definitions. The code is ugly as hell as I've done a lot of quick experiments with it, and I went all-in with macros where functions would probably be better suited. I hope you still find it interesting.

Excluding neural network weights, the whole thing is ~300 lines of code and can run a few variations of a simple convolutional network.

Hi ! I've been working on this article for the past few days. It would mean a lot to me if you could provide some feedback.

It is about implementing a physico-chemical simulation as my first attempt to write a shader. The code is surprisingly simple and short (less than 100 lines). The "Prerequisite" and "Update rules" sections, however, may need some adjustments to make them clearer.

Thanks for reading

In order to learn programming holograms I'd like to gather some sources in this post.

The linked paper describes already optimised way of rendering holograms. I'd like to find a naive implementation of a hologram i.e. in ShaderToy using interferometric processing of stored inteference patterns like it works in a physical hologram(I guess). I also want this to be a resource to learn how laser holograms work in real life.

To create an introduction project to holographic rendering these steps will be required.

1. Store a sphere or a cube interference patterns in a texture. This should be a model of our physically correct hologram. Note: If this step requires saving thousands of textures we should limit the available viewing angles(if that's what helps)
2. Load the rendered patterns as a texture or an array of textures into a WebGL program
3. Create a shader that will do the interferometric magic to render the sphere/cube from the hologram model

The performance of the solution is irrele

The video posted is part of my friend’s art exhibition last Friday. It’s avaialble at https://gallery.font.skin/ server “ARK”

The other server “Fontland” is a gallery of effects built in Font.Skin where you walk around with a girl(which is bald - my Daz 3D importer is not perfect) and discover different real-time-rendered text effects. The effects are in form of screens which are also textured rect area lights giving cool reflections.

The effects can be built using WebGL in https://font.skin/ The best way to start is to paste a simple ShaderToy shader into “Frag shader” tab and replace some variables with “textEdgeDist” and “auraEdgeDist”
