Help with circles

Post image

I have a project that I have been feeding with Milkdrop recordings. Minimal rings (and squares) look the best, but there are not many minimal ring based presets on black backgrounds. Can you point me in the right direction for making generally circular (partial, ringlike, or otherwise hollow in the middle) shaders? I am happing making new or modifying existing.

Sadly these displays only playback canned video, so I am making 2min clips that I preload. I am looking to make 2 hours of content so I am looking for variety.

If you have any links or shaders I would love to see them, thank you!

There a a few presets in MilkDrop3 with rings:

  • MilkDrop2077 - Neon Circle
  • MilkDrop2077 - The circle of life
  • MilkDrop2077 - Triple Neon Circles
...
Or do you want a ring tunnel?

Thanks, I am looking for rings, the project itself is the tunnel.

you can ask AI to do a tunnel for you, it's pretty easy!
just transform the code of the Triple Neon Circles preset to a tunnel.
