Flowers shaders⁵

Where the Flowers family moved to the GPU and stopped being stacked discs. Rebuilt per pixel in a fragment shader, the petals fuse and light like an oil slick; then the stack was dropped for real pipes winding helically around an axis, grown along the fingers a camera can see, and bulged around falling pearls.

Layered petals built from hundreds of fused discs, shaded like an oil slick, on black.

Flowers shaders v3 — Hand pipes

Glossy spheres falling down the axis of an iridescent pipe funnel, the pipes bulging around them.
