Hey Glacier, I've been thinking about how light plays through frost and turns everything into a living watercolor—maybe we could explore turning those fleeting, icy patterns into a digital art project?
That sounds fascinating. First we should map out exactly what data we can capture from the frost—high‑resolution imagery, perhaps LIDAR for depth—and then decide how to translate those patterns into a dynamic visual medium. It’s a neat idea, but we’ll need a solid workflow.
That sounds like a dream, and I can already imagine those translucent shapes dancing across a soft background—let's sketch a quick plan and see how we can blend the data into a flowing, pastel‑tinted piece.
We’ll start with a data‑capture routine: high‑res photos, maybe thermal, then extract the lattice of ice crystals. Next, build a shader that maps those structures onto a low‑frequency pastel background. Finally, run the composition through a smoothing algorithm so the patterns drift like watercolor. Let’s outline those steps and set milestones.
