Visual Systems Studies
Motion, shader, and generative-system studies exploring visual character as part of interface behavior.
01Lab
Experiments, tools, and open-source direction.
The lab is the space for prototypes and smaller systems that may become part of the platform later.
Torch water · R4 · C with ink & paper
C — Reflected chop · current preview
C’s waves travel at half speed over eight seconds; splash and ship timing stay at four seconds. The water and torch use ink & paper; the moving ship stays outside WebGL. The camera, cliffs, person, and source ship stay registered. The original water layer has been removed behind the new waves.
C — Reflected chop
Incoming waves meet a rebound from the cliff, forming crossing crests and small scattered splashes.

K00 · 0.0s · shared comparison pose
Review the impact timing, spray height, and quiet recovery. C includes moving torch and water, with ink-and-paper treatment isolated from the ship. This C treatment is now used on the homepage and blog.
