Type a word, blow it up as a comic
Type a word and it pops out of a comic impact star: Ben-Day dots, speed lines, a shake and a split of color. Your word becomes a textureWhat is texture?The visual surface you feel on screen: rough, liquid, metallic, veined. It is not a photo stuck on top, it is born from how you combine noise, layers and warps. It is math you feel with your eyes. that a shaderWhat is a shader?A small program that runs on the GPU and decides the color of a single pixel. The GPU runs it for every pixel at once. bends on your GPUWhat is the GPU?The massively parallel processor in your machine. It runs the same shader on thousands of cores at once, one per fragment, which is why it paints millions of pixels sixty times a second without breaking a sweat..
