Weighted Linde-Buzo-Gray Stippling

GLSL compute shaders, the jump-flood algorithm, and a weighted voronoi particle relaxation algorithm combine to yield real-time animated stippling art.

Check it out on GitHub.

The following photos use album art from Jon Batiste’s Hollywood Africans.

Implemented real-time Weighted Linde-Buzo-Gray Stippling in #TouchDesigner. I used a #GLSL compute shader to calculate the centroids of each cell. I used an atomic counter to do the seed splitting. Photo of @JonBatiste pic.twitter.com/3fylitNQ70

The Algorithm

My technique, implemented in TouchDesigner, is inspired by this research which was a 2017 SIGGRAPH Technical Paper.
