The Instanced Forge
Four thousand ingots drawn in a single call, with the draw-call figure published next to the frame time so the cost of the scene is stated rather than implied.
The Parametric Singularity
A lightning bolt with no model file — a high-segment cylinder displaced along its own normals by 3D noise every frame, orbited by fourteen shards on an underdamped spring.
The Rift in N-Space
A bident built by subtraction — unlit black prongs with tone mapping disabled, and a simplex vortex between them that the cursor drags like a hand through smoke.
The Struck Ingot
An object with no vertices — a signed distance field marched per pixel, with the step budget exposed so the exact moment quality is bought back is visible.
