This article was a joy to read, both for explanations and visuals. I'm not knowledgeable at all in visual generatio but I'm now wondering about other uses to extend the method.

What other shapes can be coupled (with the technique to create those various storms) in order to create large-scale transitions, where for example a large vortex would follow a sigmoid over the other zones.

Or even in what subtle ways could the visuals follow the envelope of a Hans-Zimmeresque audio background..

Thanks for having shared this blog!

Props for a site of that visual complexity that was performant, visually appealing, and eminently readable on mobile.

The use of weird non-native scrolling really hurts navigation and full justification looks clumsy when screen is narrow. But otherwisr it's not terrible.

The article is incredibly interesting, but the choice of colors is so low-contrast that I can only read in it "reader mode", where the animations don't work. I have resorted to "select all" where the letters stand out a bit, but it's ugly and not very ergonomic...

The author seems to be experimenting in UE4 or UE5 (material graph shown in screenshot), but the examples are displayed in sharedtoy embeds?

I'm wondering, is there a direct way to save UE4 material shader to shadertoy or some easy conversion tool? Otherwise it would have taken eons to produce this page...

It's white on black, or at least white on very dark gray. Contrast is about as high as it could be on my device.

Might there be a problem with your device?
