I wish we had shaders like this in 2006 when we made the Flood biomass in Halo3 😍
float2 n,q,u=float2(i.uv-.5);
float d = dot(u,u),s=9,t=_Time.y,o,j;
for (float2x2 m=RM2D(5);j++<16;) {
u = mul(m,u);n = mul(m,n);
q = u*s+t*4+sin(t*4-d*6)*0.8+j+n;
o += dot(cos(q)/s, float2(2,2));
n -= sin(q);
s *= 1.2;
} return o;

A modder redid one of my old Halo2 MP maps that never shipped: Anchor Point. Takes place in a ramshackle assemblage of debris under the gas giant facility and was meant to look like a splinter Heretic outpost. Bilateral symmetry, center chokepoint, Banshee combat, eh. wasn't fun!
It has come full circle

Fwiw this is almost exactly what the Guardians looked like back when they were first imagined on Halo 2, only they were much larger, almost like the Strato-Sentinel.

I lost my father to cancer this week and it’s now an unrelenting sadness. He was a role model to us all. This Saint Éxupéry quote is comforting: "He who has gone, so we but cherish his memory, abides with us, more potent, nay, more present than the living man.”

The sphincter door from Halo 3 can’t be bargained with. It can’t be reasoned with.
And it absolutely will not stop, ever... until you are inside of it.
I'm sorry for this appearing on your timeline, but i was pretty happy with how this turned out for a quick wip pass on sculpting / running through substance and connecting up to my rig. SSS looks gnarly and gross in the best way when there's lights near / around it. Needs more
