What happens if you take motion blur past its logical extreme? Here are some fun observations and ideas I encountered while trying to answer this question, with an attempt to apply the results in a procedural animation.

In this post, I’ll describe a set of techniques for manipulating signed distance fields (SDFs) allowing the creation of self-similar geometries like the flower above. Although these types of geometries have been known and renderable for a long time, I believe the techniques described here offer much unexplored creative potential, since they allow the creation of raymarchable SDFs of self-similar geometries with an infinite level of visual recursion, which can be explored in realtime on the average current-gen graphics card. This is done by crafting distance functions based on the log-spherical mapping, which I’ll explain starting with basic tilings and building up to the recursive shell transformation.
