Ditherfall

A field of droplets falls across over a hundred columns. Each drop's speed isn't constant — it's read, moment to moment, from the brightness of an image at the drop's own position.

Where the picture is bright the rain slows and piles up; where it's dark the rain races and thins. No threshold, no halftone grid — the image resolves purely as the density of falling particles, a dither made of motion.

Rebuilt here in WebGL from a TouchDesigner study: the whole field integrates on the GPU, a single mono texture steering a hundred thousand velocities in real time.
