Space Displacement
Animated GIF
Colors swirl and streak as the center of a graphic warps inward.
This unique animated space scene originally displaced, or moved, vertices, over time with WebGL. The WebGL vertex shader applied a texture map and animated GIF frame time to translate vertices. The fragment shader prepared color for rendering.
Graphics include a space scene and displacement map. The vertex shader moved vertices. 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.
Motion Graphics
