trying some interesting bitwise color manipulation tricks

today i'm doing generative work. i have two heights of bridges, and i'm going to add higher bridges as well. i'm also going to work on special cases for how bridges connect to buildings and walls. i really like the compound curves around these 1st floor ones, and i want to continue that language.

i thought i would take a stab at just projection for the additional primitives, which resulted in the most baroque graphical glitch

i am refactoring to use precomputed colors. i'm not sure exactly how haze will work yet, but i think there's a pretty significant speed boost from this.

the infilling is working, with depth test! now i need to add clipping for the bookended heightmaps.

why, sony (see terribly left drift, end of video).

i also wanted to at least try doing screen space dithered shadows. i you could finesse this various ways, but this is a good indication of what it might feel like. i like the brightness and cleanliness of it. the light feels good but the volumes suffer, i think.

i'm trying out some expressive bitwise tricks for lighting which may end up doing interesting expressive things with hue. the glitches are fun.

if your color is "dirtier", eg more of the bits have 1s in them, then bitwise tricks like this work better. this is fainter than i want, but see this is darkening more of the colors now.

i think maybe if i find the right magic value, i can do shadows by bitmasking?
