"Long Way From Home" by yx

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.
