Neon Topography

Animated procedural contour map over the photo. Drifting neon iso-lines (brighter every fifth).

Runs live on video, images, a camera or generated art. Stack it with any other effect, and route LFOs, envelopes or any of ten audio bands to its controls so it moves with the music.

Controls

Terrain
Elevation field spatial scale.
Flow
Drift speed of the FBM advection layers.
Glow
Contour line emissive strength.
Tint
Where the contour palette starts on the wheel.
Variety
How far the colour walks between one contour band and the next. Hard left is a single colour.
Direction
Which way the terrain flows.
Speed
Rate of the effect motion. Centre is the authored speed, hard left a tenth of it.
