Stars and Stripes 2

Stars and Stripes

A dynamic digital shader effect displaying a perspective-distorted grid of ASCII characters (stars ★, dashes ▬, and bars ▤) arranged in a receding plane. The left side features a gradient transition from white/light-gray stars and dashes at the bottom-left corner, progressing through blue striped patterns in the middle section, to solid dark-blue squares at the top-left. The right side displays a uniform field of red/orange stars against a dark background. A subtle diagonal striping pattern (black and white at 159 degrees) underlays the ASCII characters, creating texture and depth. The entire composition is viewed through a perspective transformation with a field of view of 86 degrees, creating a 3D receding effect that makes the grid appear to extend away from the viewer. A tilt-shift blur effect is applied with a focal band running diagonally across the composition, creating selective focus that enhances the depth perception. The color palette transitions from cool blue tones on the left to warm red/orange tones on the right, with a tritone color mapping (blue #1100ff to white to red #ff0000) applied across the luminance values. The overall mood is futuristic and digital, reminiscent of retro computer graphics or data visualization displays.
