Shader patterns

A pattern repeats one rule across space. You build stripes, grids, checkerboards, spirals and mirrors with fract and polar coordinates, then sign your own.

1. ShapesRings, squares, diamonds. Each shape is a distance equation.
2. StripesOne wave. Two colors. Infinite pattern.
3. The gridOne eye per cell. The grid watches you.
4. CheckerboardDiamonds on the board. The Overlook floor.
5. Going polarHAL sees you. Sectors of an iris.
6. The spiralThe vortex. Shapes falling to center.
7. Mirrorabs() reflects. One hexagon becomes four.
8. RadialThe star that radiates. Lobes of fire.
9. ChladniGeometric vibration. The Chladni plate.
10. Your patternChladni, star, spiral, rings. All visible.
