What can you do with just one triangle? What if you asked this question to the entire world? This is a story about how simplicity and restrictions led to unlimited creativity.
In 2013, we launched Shadertoy.com, a website that allows users to paint a triangle with code and share it with the world. It quickly grew into a massive repository of shaders and many thousands of creators from all corners of the globe. But more importantly, it sparked a race to explore the limits of creativity.
In this session, we will explore the limits of creativity, simplicity, embracing technical limitations, innovation, and building a community around computer graphics. Come see how many things you can do with just one triangle when humans from all over the world share their knowledge.
