Space Displacement

WebGL Animation

Colors from a galaxy scene merge toward the center then out again, with music.

This unique animated space scene displaces, or moves, vertices over time with WebGL. The WebGL vertex shader applies a texture map and animation frame time to translate vertices. The fragment shader prepares color for rendering.

Graphics include a space scene and displacement map. Vertices move in response to the displacement map and time frame. The maps display below.

Galaxy Scene

The galaxy scene texture maps to a square. It stretches as vertices are moved. The original galaxy photograph, from NASA, was modified quite a bit with additional color and saturation.

Displacement Map

The displacement map's a circular gray scale gradation. Vertices move based on the amount of value; light to dark.
