This is a procedural artwork released at SynchroNY 2020, placing 1st in the Graphics competition.
This source code release is for archival reasons - as such, aside from removal of compiled and intermediate binaries, this is an unedited snapshot of the source from when the released artwork was built.
This uses Shader_Minifier for shader minification and Crinkler for executable compression. Binaries are included in the archive as the exact versions that were used for the release.

Some post-mortem thoughts:
-
This was my first use of pathtraced direct lighting, using this article as a reference.

SynchroNY takes place on an Amtrak train between NYC and Montreal, and originally I wanted to create something based around the train, hence the folder name
exegfx-amtrak.
