Making of
Transit Nebula

The iterations, experiments, and companion pieces built during the development of Transit Nebula I — a record of the process from first canvas render through the WebGL astrological engine.

Development Iterations — newest first

v5 · current
Transit Nebula I
WebGL2 · GLSL · Full production

The final piece. Full-bleed WebGL2 fragment shader with 8-axis astrological scoring, domain-warped fBm, live Supabase gallery, share menu, and daily reading. Your birth chart rendered as a living nebula.

Transit Nebula I
v4
Nebula — Coherent Mass
WebGL2 · Early axis weighting

First version to introduce the 8-axis color scoring system. Explored coherent mass structure — nebula as a single body rather than scattered points.

Nebula v4
v2
Nebula — WebGL Iteration
WebGL2 · First shader port

Port from Canvas 2D to WebGL2. First exploration of fragment shaders, simplex noise, and domain warping for organic nebula texture.

Nebula v2
v1 · origin
Nebula — Canvas 2D Origin
Canvas 2D · First experiment

Where it started. The original nebula concept using Canvas 2D — radial gradients, particle clouds, and layered blending. The idea that became Transit Nebula.

Nebula v1
v0 · first attempt
Natal Resonance
Canvas 2D · Particle System · Pre-nebula

The earliest attempt to visualize the astrological system — before the nebula metaphor existed. Six planetary axes rendered as flowing particle streams, gems representing each axis, glow encoding harmony or tension. The foundation of an idea that became Transit Nebula.
