Resources Used

• The Book of Shaders - This interactive book is a great reference for making shader art.
• The Book of Shaders Editor - This online shader editor was very helpful for prototyping my shaders.
• ShaderToy - This is another online shader editor. I did not use it as much as I did last year, but it is a great resource with many examples by the pros.
• Íñigo "iq" Quílez's shader articles - iq is probably the most well-known shader artist. I have seen so many shader examples that reference his code. In this project, I found two of his articles particularly useful: his tutorial on Voronoi diagram edges and his article on cosine color palettes.
• This GitHub project had more examples of cosine color palettes.
• These pages were useful for learning about the Newton's Method Fractal: here here and here
• Fractal Cosine Coloring - This page was very useful for learning new ways to color the Mandelbrot Set and Newton's Method fractals.

Software Used

• HTML/CSS/JavaScript - Backbone of the website
• Three.js - 2D and 3D graphics in WebGL
• Bootstrap + Darkly Theme - Look and feel of the website
• OpenGL Shader Language (GLSL) - All shaders were written in this language

Inspiration/Shader Ideas

Thank you to the following people for giving me inspiration for some of my shader designs:

• My friend Karishma Changlani ( DeviantArt | GitHub) made this fractal . It was the inspiraton for my shader Stained Glass.
• My co-worker Tom Thi brought in googly eyes for a joke. This was the inspiration for my Googly Eyes design.
• My friend Sarah DiChristino-Brennan ( Instagram | Bandcamp) suggested a spiral pattern. This was my inspiration for Spirals.

Feedback

I was fortunate that many of my friends gave me good feedback on my shaders so I was able to improve many of them. Thank you to the following people for your feedback!

• A special thank you to my friend Genna Hennessy (Twitter | Tumblr) for helping me reorganize the website layout. It looks so much cleaner than when I started!
• Thanks again to my friend Karishma Changlani ( DeviantArt | GitHub) for giving me feedback that helped me tweak several of my shaders.
• Thank you to DeviantArt user PonceIndustries ( DeviantArt) for your many comments on my preview screenshots! Our discussions led me to find several variations on the Newton and Mandelbrot Set fractals.
• Finally, thank you to all my other friends and watchers on DeviantArt for your support throughout the month!
