gradient forms

A looping study of five gradient forms on a near-black field. Each form is one soft, sculpted silhouette lit by a two-colour gradient with a pale rim, covered in animated film grain. It breathes slowly as its edge drifts, holds for 1.7 s, then morphs into the next form over one second while the whole palette crossfades: Dusk Signal (pink to violet), Ember Plume (amber to crimson), Tidewater (aqua to deep blue), Acid Fold (lime to forest green) and Cobalt Crest (periwinkle to indigo), 13.5 s for all five, looping for ever. Each form carries a label in its own corner: "Gradient · 01", its name in light Geist, and its three colours as hex codes with swatches; the label rises in out of a blur and lifts away as the morph begins. The forms, gradients and grain are one WebGL fragment shader with each shape as a single implicit curve, so palettes, shapes and timing are a few lines to change. The square stage scales to fit any screen and the field runs on to the window's edges.
