If you're impressed by this I recommend browsing https://shadertoy.com - some amazing generative art there.

Shane is one of the masters: https://www.shadertoy.com/user/Shane

And of course Inigo Quilez, the site's creator: https://www.shadertoy.com/user/iq



Wow, I didn't know this website and it looks great. I've been browsing Shane's creations and they are mind-blowing. May I ask a stupid question?

Leaving aside copyrights/licenses/etc, are her creations "exportable" to be used in videogames, films CGI, VFX, etc? For example, this Abstract Corridor (https://www.shadertoy.com/view/MlXSWX), could be used in a videogame just with that piece of code (I think it's C or a variant of it).

It's incredible for me that such piece of art is done only by code - if asked, I would have said that it uses assets and more.


Its GLSL, and yes, you can pretty much copy paste it.
