Is there a quicker way to draw a symmetric, scale-invariant (declining color) gradient around an ellipse?
The goal is to generate a picture like this:
A symmetric color gradient around an ellipse which is rotated by $\theta$, has $(x_\circ,y_\circ)$ as center and and major and an minor axis $a,b$.
The ...

How to generate a gradient to the edges of a triangle in GLSL?
I'm looking for an effect similar to this image. Assuming the UV coordinates of the triangle are known, such as:
p0 = [0, 0]
p1 = [1, 0]
p2 = [0, 1]
I know the ...

physics/math of lighting gradient of a 3D object
Consider a monochrome ball. The colours of the pixels is a function of the point height, the light intensity, the light angle, and the surface material (reflection).
What is the simplest formula ...

Improve accuracy of mesh gradient?
So to make it simple. I currently use a method I found online to compute the gradient of a scalar field of a mesh.
To test how accurate this is, I made a sphere and followed the gradient direction of ...

Gradient descent (Not ML) on arbitrary meshes
So I am doing a gradient descent like algorithm on the surface of a mesh and I just noticed something:
The above is the geodesic gradient (the distance to a single vertex)
Look at where the ear ...

Are there algorithms besides Canny edge detection that can create consistent width edges?
Sobel edge detection is pretty much the quintessential way to get edges out of an image. It however suffers from certain quirks.
One example is, because it's gradient, based certain surfaces exhibit ...
