Описание: Study 135 "Gyre" - 8K VR180 Visual Music

An emotional imagination of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, currently covering around 620,000 square miles (roughly three times the size of France). This Pacific trash vortex is located between California and Hawaii in the North Pacific gyre. The total mass of plastic is estimated at 80,000 - 100,000 tonnes with an estimated 1.8 trillion pieces of plastic. Let that sink in...Don't you just love how we treat our planet? For more details see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_P...

While I have never seen it personally, my imagined virtual camera flies above and into the ocean's swirling mass. I hope you feel the strange destructive beauty, like an Edward Burtynsky photograph, but also share my sadness at this atrocity to our precious ocean. As sad as the epic music "Legend" by composer friend Jeff Collinson, with thanks.

This is a Stereoscopic 7680 x 7680 60 fps rendering in TouchDesigner that has been converted for VR180 on YouTube. Dedicated to those in our world who love earth and do their bit to avoid polluting our precious oceans with plastic and other toxins.

Many thanks to Dean Cheesman ‪@DeanCheesman‬ for his excellent YouTube tutorial "GLSL Particle Simulations in TouchDesigner" and exTracrediT's @exttracredittTutorial " Dream Clouds".
