The code it becomes
What Studio writes for the graph below: a few lines of the material's shader, worked out for every pixel.
void mainImage(out vec4 fragColor, in vec2 fragCoord){ vec2 n1_uv = (vec2(fragCoord.x / iResolution.x, 1.0 - fragCoord.y / iResolution.y) * vec2(1.0, 1.0)); vec2 n1_centred = (vec2(fragCoord.x - 0.5 * iResolution.x, 0.5 * iResolution.y - fragCoord.y) / iResolution.y); vec2 n1_square = (vec2(fragCoord.x, iResolution.y - fragCoord.y) / iResolution.y); float n2_out = (1.0 - smoothstep(0.0, 0.08, length(fract((lib_rotate(n1_uv * vec2(iResolution.x / iResolution.y, 1.0), 0.125 * 6.28318531) * 60.0)) - 0.5) - sqrt(clamp(0.5, 0.0, 1.0)) * 0.55)); fragColor = vec4(vec3(n2_out), 1.0);}In a graph
