This is the logo of the VORTEX group, the computer graphics team of the IRIT laboratory, University of Toulouse, France.
It has been designed with 2 functional field functions and a functional composition operator. The ground is an implicit plane and the deformation of the logo on the ground is performed by another functional composition operator. Only 5 equations are required for this animation.
No mesh, no collision test !!!!!
The rendering is done using a standard ray-marching.
These are friendly surfaces !
