#2I finally found the courage to write and expose myself to the internet. I've always wanted to learn shaders so I thought it would be nice to document my learning and share it with others.

Thank you!

I just commend you for writing on your own blog and making an interactive post; as opposed to some shitty Notion/Medium/Dev feed the google-algorithm, AI copy pasta.
Honest blogging is dying in the shadows, unseen of the god almighty algorithm. It's sad times. We're deep in the Star Wars episode IV of the Internet.
My only feedback is, merci and more of it please!

Don't be shy, I guarantee that I'm worse at shaders than you are. Thanks for your effort

#6Great intro, hope it will be continued. Too often these kind of things start with a great intro and are then dropped.

#7This is really nice. I'm a former-artist-turned-programmer and every now and then I get the itch to dig into graphics programming. I've written a couple very basic shaders, but once it gets into the math (which is...very early on), I hit a ceiling. I went to college for art rather than comp-sci, so my math skills are virtually non-existent.
Anyways, well done, love the article.

#8“their parallel nature makes them memoryless and stateless. This translates to: “You can’t store or share data between pixels or shader executions.””
This kind of constraint is so liberating for me for some reason. It just narrows the space a lot I guess.
I also kind of love not having imports and libraries as that also really simplifies things.

Tangential to the main topic, what generative art artists are you following and/or where did you look to find them?
I found a couple myself (@D_VISION7 @lv374 @beesandbombs @HAL09999), but ran into roadblocks trying to find more. There are a few fractals here and there, etc. Shadertoy seemed mostly like math demos/challenges rather than art, or at least it doesn't have an easy way to find the artsy ones.
