Signals 02 — Braid
The pipes braid dressed for a city screen: pure black, a low-saturation oil slick, and a structural instrument frame around it.
A bundle of solid pipes winding helically around a shared vertical axis, raymarched as a real 3D distance field — the Flowers pipes, lifted whole because they were already proven — and then dressed in the Signals identity: pure black ground, the shared instrument frame, and a deliberately desaturated thin-film palette so the colour reads as expensive rather than as a rainbow on a large screen.
Built to a fixed brief: a seamless ten-second, 250-frame loop at 25 fps. With a static camera the whole animation has to close on itself, which is a constraint on the shader rather than something fixed in the edit.
