Conspiracy - Beyond Expectations

I first experimented with texture generation in 2000. For a while I didn't really get far because there weren't too many resources on the topic - until I found an article written by Ile/Aardbei, which I still highly recommend to anyone new to the subject. The article you're reading is meant to be a follow up to Ile's - we now have graphical hardware that is basically built to do this sort of stuff, but using only the GPU to implement a texture generator can be tricky due to the nature of pixel shaders.

Part 4: Let's talk about synthesizers.

Part 3: The basic system.

Part 2: Why are SMF files smaller?

Part 1 : The concept

This is a story of a 64k intro modelling tool and explanation of the ideas behind the file format.
