I'm trying to re-create an effect I created for a dance company. I had initially done it as a pre-rendered movie in After Effects, but now I'm researching if it can be implemented in realtime.

I've enclosed an image that shows the effect. The rings (puddles?) move around the screen while the dancers simulate moving the puddles with the poles.

Right now I'm less concerned with the live-tracking aspect than with making the same objects in Jitter. The patch (hacked out of the gl.sketch helpfile) creates the shape - but in the original work the points around the circle undulated a bit in distance from the center. I'm wondering if there's a way to vary or distort the geometry of the framecircles independently to get this result.

Does Sketch have a way of distorting shapes directly? Any advice on what direction to take?

don't have time to look at the patch, but if you're looking for distortions, you may want to check out repos, either on matrices or in a shader, or using a texture on a nurbs/mesh surface. See the pool3D patch in the "examples" folder.

I was going to say the same thing about pool3D.

h(x, y, t+1) = damping * (1/2 * ( h(x+1, y, t) + h(x-1, y, t) + h(x,

Here's the formula used for that patch. Maybe you could figure out a

way to draw using that formula, assuming you really want to use
