Yeah, I've hacked a few shaders that let pixels sprout like a digital meadow. Just feed a noise function into a fragment shader and let the GPU do the rest. Want a quick demo?

Sure thing. Grab this fragment shader – it spits out a blooming meadow that reacts to time. Put it in a shader playground or use it with a full‑screen quad in WebGL. ``` #ifdef GL_ES precision mediump float; #endif uniform float u_time; uniform vec2 u_resolution; // Simplex noise (you can drop in any noise function) vec3 mod289(vec3 x) { return x - floor(x * (1.0/289.0)) * 289.0; } vec2 mod289(vec2 x) { return x - floor(x * (1.0/289.0)) * 289.0; } float snoise(vec2 v){ const vec4 C = vec4(0.211324865405187, 0.366025403784439, -0.577350269189626, 0.024390243902439); vec2 i = floor(v + dot(v, C.yy)); vec2 x0 = v - i + dot(i, C.xx); vec2 i1; i1 = (x0.x > x0.y) ? vec2(1.0, 0.0) : vec2(0.0, 1.0); vec4 x12 = x0.xyxy + C.xxzz; x12.xy -= i1; vec3 p = vec3(0.0); for (int j=0; j<3; ++j){ vec2 xi = (j==0) ? x0 : (j==1) ? x12.xy : x12.zw; vec3 gi = mod289(vec3(floor(i.x + j), floor(i.y + j), 0.0)); vec3 g = mod289(gi * (1.0/289.0)) * 289.0; float t = 0.5 - dot(xi, xi); if(t<0.0) p[j] = 0.0; else {t *= t; p[j] = t*t*dot(g, xi);} } return 70.0 * dot(p, vec3(1.0)); } void main(){ vec2 uv = gl_FragCoord.xy / u_resolution.xy; uv = uv * 2.0 - 1.0; // -1..1 // Animate time float t = u_time * 0.2; // Noise-based flower base float n = snoise(uv * 4.0 + t); float bloom = smoothstep(0.4, 0.5, n); // Color palette vec3 base = vec3(0.2, 0.6, 0.3); vec3 bloomCol = vec3(0.9, 0.6, 0.4); vec3 col = mix(base, bloomCol, bloom); // Add tiny petals with another noise layer float petal = snoise(uv * 12.0 + t*1.5); col = mix(col, vec3(1.0, 0.8, 0.6), smoothstep(0.6, 0.65, petal)); gl_FragColor = vec4(col,1.0); } ``` Load it, set `u_time` to `performance.now() / 1000.0`, and watch flowers sprout as time ticks. Feel free to tweak the noise scale or palette to make it feel more “sunrise” or “digital meadow.” Enjoy the bloom!
