Human Shader, computing a shader image by hand

This website is pretty cool. It’s a shader algorithm with the goal of rendering an image pixel by pixel, but it relies entirely on human calculation, with no computers and no calculators. Claim a pixel, and follow the instructions to calculate the Red Green and Blue values of the pixel you have claimed.

All of the pixels have currently been claimed, but they do expire after a while, so just wait around a bit and you might be able to contribute!

But we’re totally going to own huffman by putting “fuck spez” all over it! He’ll probably shut the site down out of sheer embarrassment.

Edit: I do like how they make you show your work on HumanShader.

Making me remember how to do ling multiplication…
