The Challenge: Human


This year we will try to tackle one of the most interesting problems in computer graphics - humans.

For more than 4 years in the Shadertoy Competition, the community has pushed the boudaries of what everyone believed was possible.

The topic of this year is "humans", and we left this specifically open as we want to see what direction you choose to go.
You can try to go for improving eye rendering, hair generation, animation, anatomy, or go on a totally stylized direction, and create something artist or metaphorical. Theses are by no means all the possible directions, just conversation starters that you can use if you need them, but the possibilities are endless and we look forward to see in what way you decide to go.

Need more ideas? Take a look at what the Shadertoy community has created so far: https://www.shadertoy.com/results?query=human.

We'll value how impressive the visuals, pushing the boundaries and originality of the content.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask us or other users in https://www.shadertoy.com/view/MttczN.
