Six Shadertoy shaders, read line by line

Fri, 06 Nov 2026 00:00:00 -0500

Between January and February 2024 I published six shaders on Shadertoy^[1]. Some are my own experiments, and some start from well-known shaders that I modified to learn how they work. This post reads each one line by line: what the code computes, where the ideas come from, and where the code does something other than what its comments say.

Each embed starts paused, so the page does not run six shaders at once. Press play to run one.
