Yep, this one is a bit of a mindf**k :) Mouse rotates it (with a trackball).
I was just experimenting a bit with my raytrace/raymarching setup. I wanted to see if I could make a 'weave' (like a basket material), in 3d. Well, I did, using just 2 spheres and some cunning.
Then I wondered, what happens if I modify it with some sin waves? Well, I wasn't quite expecting this :D It looks like a weave that re-weaves itself. Really confusing to watch.
Technical stuff: It's raymarched, using a signed distance field, with ambient occlusion + regular lighting. There's not much to see in the comp, just a shader and a single quad really. The magic happens in the shader.
Try moving the mesh around to move/rotate the camera.
Minor warning: it needs a fast GPU. An intel one definitely won't cut it (you'll be waiting for it to render each frame!) It runs 30fps or so at 640x480 here (recent imac).
The VideoTools plugin provides support for video input:
Unlike Quartz Composer's built-in Movie Importer
patch, VideoTools doesn't block compositions while a video loads. With the non-QuickTime video file input patch, videos load faster. And, unlike Movie Importer
, VideoTools works reliably with threaded third-party applications (such as QuartzBuilder).
