Wild WebGL Raymarching

By

It's been way too long since I've released a demo. So the time was ripe to have some fun again. This time I looked into raymarching distance fields. I've found that I got some wild results by limiting the amount of samples taken along the rays.

Essentially the scene is just an infinite number of spheres arranged in a grid. If it is properly sampled it looks pretty boring:

Yes, I do love functions gone wild and glitchy. :)
