Thank you :)

People having been asking for audio-reactive shaders for a while now and with Milkdrop, so we made it happen!

Collaborated with Milkdrop to make a pack of 800 audio-reactive shaders.
Designed for VJs and visual artists. Anybody can use them with the open-source XorPlayer and Spout.
They work without audio too, great as moving backgrounds! Download:

Have fun!

I have been having a ton of fun with faking fluids using "turbulence". It's amazing how effective it is

New article on my site: Better sRGB to greyscale conversion

The commonly used greyscale formula is slightly off when computed in gamma space but can it be fixed?

📜 30fps.net/pages/better...

A four-pane comparison of different formulas for greyscale conversion.
Top row: Linear sRGB (the correct way to do it), Gamma sRGB (the somewhat wrong "luma" formula).
Bottom row: CIELAB L* (a high quality option), and the new alternative gamma-space version.

Careful inspection shows the "Gamma sRGB" case is slightly dimmer at points than the others.

A quote from “Principles of Digital Image Processing” by Wilhelm Burger and Mark J. Burge. It shows weights that are a better fit for gamma-space greyscale conversion.

Note: For simplicity I assumed a 2:1 aspect ratio and used 11 instead of -pi/2
