Pretty sure the clouds one is a straight rip from one of Inigo Quilez's shaders: https://www.shadertoy.com/view/XslGRr (note the licence at the top...)

They should have just stuck with Apache or GPL license, as now any derivative work nullifies that adamant license and requires no attribution

Ah, yes. A good way to turn my phone into a heating pad on this cold winter morning.

Oh no... I suspect we're going to see this everywhere now.

It is based off it for sure, the credits are on the Github repository[0]. The CDN version has no comments, but the source JS file really should have the source in a comment.

Definitely getting some 'can I copy your homework' vibes. But then again, if you use the original shader to educate yourself on how to render volumetric clouds... this is the kind of code you'll end up writing afterwards.

And pretty much everyone writing any shadercompo-style code ever ends up borrowing some techniques from iq :).

I’ll take this over the faux PowerPoint slide presentations that caught on the last few years.

Repeat after me:

It’s a website, not a power point presentation
