Focal Plane
A serene beach sunset scene captured with sophisticated shader effects. The base image shows a sandy beach in the foreground with gentle waves rolling onto the shore, a calm ocean in the middle ground, and a large golden sun setting on the horizon behind a distant mountain silhouette. The perspective shader creates a subtle 3D depth effect with mouse-controlled tilt interaction (range -5.5 to 5.5 degrees on Y-axis), giving the scene dimensional movement. A tilt-shift effect with 175-degree angle and 0.1 width creates selective focus, keeping the immediate foreground and specific focal plane sharp while blurring surrounding areas with intensity of 28, producing a miniature or diorama-like quality. The tilt-shift center follows mouse position with 0.3 reach and 0.45 momentum, creating dynamic focus tracking. A vignette effect with black color (#000000) and 0.26 intensity darkens the edges, with a radius of 0.7 and falloff of 0.73, drawing attention toward the center while maintaining atmospheric depth. The overall effect combines warm golden-orange sunset tones with cool blue-gray ocean tones, creating a peaceful, contemplative mood with enhanced visual depth and selective focus that emphasizes the romantic quality of the golden hour.

A serene beach sunset scene featuring a golden sun positioned at the horizon line, creating a bright warm glow that reflects across calm ocean waters. The foreground shows wet sand with gentle wave foam in the lower portion, rendered with soft focus and shallow depth of field. The perspective effect creates a subtle 3D tilted view that responds to mouse movement, giving the image an interactive dimensional quality. A tilt-shift blur effect is applied at approximately 86 degrees, keeping the horizon and sun sharp while progressively blurring the foreground sand and waves. The entire composition is framed with a subtle black vignette that darkens the edges while maintaining focus on the central sunset area. The atmosphere is peaceful and contemplative, with warm golden-orange tones dominating the sky and water reflections. The zoom level of 1.2x brings the viewer closer to the scene, emphasizing the intimate quality of the moment. The overall effect combines photographic realism with interactive shader effects that respond to user input.
- Broken Track
A high-contrast black and white photograph of classic automobiles displayed in a showroom or garage setting, viewed from a low angle perspective. The image features three vintage cars with prominent white-wall tires and detailed wheel designs. The composition uses dramatic diagonal lines created by the car bodies and floor markings that lead the viewer's eye through the frame. The grayscale treatment eliminates all color information, creating a stark, film noir aesthetic. A wave distortion effect with a sawtooth pattern at 60-degree angle creates subtle horizontal rippling across the entire image, giving it a slightly unstable, dreamlike quality. The shatter effect with high intensity (6) and significant crack width (2.3) introduces fragmented glass-like breaks throughout the composition, particularly visible as dark linear cracks overlaying the vehicles and background. A dither pattern using 8x8 Bayer matrix with white pixels on transparent background creates a grainy, halftone texture that adds noise and reduces smooth tonal transitions, enhancing the vintage or degraded photographic quality. The combination produces a moody, atmospheric effect reminiscent of damaged archival photography or a corrupted digital image. Lighting is dramatic with strong highlights on the wheel details and car surfaces contrasting against deep black shadows in the background and recessed areas.
- Container Ship
A pixelated ASCII art effect displaying a portrait rendered through a grid of block characters (▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█). The image features a dark navy background (#0c0b17) with a layered depth effect created by vertical bar characters that fade from left to right. The central portrait shows a face with distinct color separation: white highlights on the face and eyes, blue tones in the clothing/upper body, red and pink tones in the middle sections, and darker burgundy/maroon accents. The ASCII characters vary in height based on luminosity mapping, creating a relief-like 3D appearance. A ChromaFlow effect with white directional colors adds subtle chromatic aberration and glow around the edges. The overall composition has a retro digital aesthetic with strong contrast between the dark background and the colorful portrait, creating a moody, technical atmosphere reminiscent of early computer graphics or glitch art.
- Damaged Sensor
An overhead view of an empty room with white walls and a large rectangular opening or window on the far wall. The opening displays a vibrant gradient image with diagonal color transitions flowing from orange/brown in the upper left, through purple and magenta in the center, to cyan and light-green in the lower right. The image is heavily affected by a glitch shader effect creating chromatic aberration with distinct red and cyan color channel separation visible along edges and throughout the composition. RGB shift distortion of 17 pixels creates a characteristic digital corruption look with color fringing. The glitch effect includes block-like artifacts and mirror distortions (66% intensity) that fragment and displace portions of the gradient. A VHS effect adds analog video tape artifacts including scanline noise (15% intensity), subtle wobble (9%), and smear (-18%) creating a retro video degradation appearance. The posterize effect with difference blend mode reduces color depth to 4 levels, creating banding and harsh color transitions. Cyan-tinted window frames on both sides of the room and ceiling-mounted fixtures with turquoise accents reinforce the digital corruption aesthetic. The overall mood is dystopian and glitchy, evoking corrupted digital media and analog video decay. The composition uses strong geometric perspective with the gradient wall as the focal point, surrounded by architectural elements that frame the distorted imagery.
- Dither Cam
A monochromatic night-vision or thermal imaging aesthetic rendered in lime-green (#afff08) against a deep forest-green background (#021f04). The image displays a dithered pixelated texture with a bayer8 pattern creating a grainy, low-resolution surveillance camera quality. The composition shows an interior architectural space with geometric planes and angular surfaces. A wave distortion effect at 218 degrees with square waveform creates subtle undulating ripples across the entire frame, producing a liquid-like warping of the scene. The distortion strength of 0.54 creates noticeable but not extreme warping, particularly visible on flat surfaces and edges. Multiple bright lime-green highlights and glowing points suggest light sources or reflective surfaces within the space. The pixelation at size 2 combined with the dither pattern creates a characteristic CRT monitor or thermal imaging scan-line appearance. The overall mood is cyberpunk, surveillance-oriented, and digitally degraded, with the wave distortion adding an unsettling, reality-bending quality to the architectural forms. Spatial depth is suggested through overlapping planes and perspective lines, though the distortion effect obscures precise spatial relationships.
- Dithered Reveal
An ice cave interior photographed from within, featuring a solitary figure in dark clothing with an orange/red helmet standing on white snow-covered ground. The cave walls are composed of massive ice formations in shades of white and pale blue-gray, creating dramatic textured surfaces with deep shadows on the left side. Brilliant blue light streams through an opening in the cave ceiling, creating a striking contrast between the cool blue illumination and the warm orange helmet. The composition uses strong directional lighting that emphasizes the three-dimensional ice formations and creates a sense of depth and scale. A dithered texture overlay with a bayer4 pattern adds subtle grain and visual noise throughout the image, enhancing the atmospheric quality. The blend mode of linear dodge on the upper image layer creates a luminous glow effect, particularly visible in the brighter areas where the blue light penetrates. The overall mood is one of exploration, isolation, and awe-inspiring natural beauty, with a cool color temperature dominated by blues and whites contrasted against warm accent colors.
