Rainbow Tunnel

The project consists of a series of graphic studies exploring the movement of organic gradients in a simulated tunnel form. The work includes static renders, animations, and a wallpaper package.

The concept involves smearing a radial gradient and combining moving procedural courses to create a spatial illusion of progression in a tunnel – a rainbow tunnel.

How to make a rainbow tunnel?
(rough process breakdown)

1. creating a circular gradient as a base of the depth channel

2. creating a depth channel by smearing the circular gradient

3. add soft linear gradient perpendicular to the rotation 
of the depth channel

4. combine depth channel (Red, radial gradient) and the linear gradient (Green) in a UV-map

5. generating a seamless
RGB perlin noise texture

6. mapping RGB texture onto UV-map

7. rotate UV map continuously

8. shifting the seamless RGB texture to imitate spatial motion into the tunnel

9. Dive into the rainbow!
