On “Source code for 4kb demoscene production “Elevated” released (2016)”

Thankfully for the graphics the very person who did the graphics in this Elevated demo is very generous with their time. Inigo Quilez has many instructional videos on his channel in how to code procedural graphics from the very beginner to the advanced. I link a couple of examples. You can watch the more advanced video even as a beginner but trying yourself is easier at the beginner level. Beginner. link to this video Advanced. link Website. link

Yes, but you can learn it! 1. Get inspired, get motivated. Shaders like these are breathtaking (and well-commented): link 2. Watch "Learn to paint with mathematics" to see a simple shader being built gradually: link to this video 3. Work through link .
