"Dissolve" is an Animated, painting-like abstract generative artwork.
Started as an exercise to custom shaders and the final idea early became to generate an image that looks like a painting eg. chalk or spatula like look on canvas, however not a static final image as usual but with some animated elements. Like a "live" painting.

From technical point of view, in short: there are 2 main different graphic buffers (2D and 3D) to draw some basic-primitive shapes/objects and the final frame is a mixing (or clear) with some pixel manipulation eg. dissolve - noise and other processing performed inside my custom shader.
The speed of shaders (power of hardware acceleration - GPU) allows the processing of multiple frames per second thus allowing animated "painting" - looking final results.

Enough with the description :)
