Flowing against you (Patreon)

MANDATORY SONG TO LISTEN TO WHILE LOOKING AT THIS PICTURE!

---

We are a torrent of glitches,

But the grass won't grow above us;

Only around us.

Yet we cannot mimic it.

I'll be flowing against you,

Up here;

Away from your broken laws,

Down below.

And let's agree to

Stay inside

Our separate wastelands

Of terminal mistakes.

HERE is also a 1080p wallpaper version of this piece. ^.^

See those clouds? They're not real. They're rendered. *successful noises* I've been working on ways to make physically-correct, procedural, volumetric clouds for a very long time, and only recently came up with a good method that's also relatively fast. And it's not fast at all. XD This took like 3 hours to render, while without the clouds it'd take around 40 minutes. But that's still better than my previous attempts, and looks ABSOLUTELY DASHING :D

FUN FACT: these clouds are generated using only two 3-dimensional maps masking an environment fog effect. The idea is quite simple, but what took a lot of research was how to tweak everything to make it realistic and as efficient as possible, with minimal artifacts.

So yeah, the clouds are one of the other things I wanted to start using once I upgrade my computer. C: Totally worth it, but that's not everything I have up my sleeve. :3

On a side note, the upgrade will be delayed a little bit. I was expecting it to happen in less than a month, but due to unfortunate, unexpected expenses, it'll happen somewhere between June and July. Either way, thank you VERY much for your support, you are helping immensely. <3
