Community Balloons

Hi community!

Picture:


Demo: https://codepen.io/prisoner849/full/VYYPmVG

A small sketch with a procedurally generated almost everything (except those community logos on balloons).
Inspired with listening of - old but gold - “Oxygène, Pt. 2” by Jean Michel Jarre (hover the top-left corner of the screen).

PS The terrain uses SimplexNoise, thus, it differs on each run/start.

That looks actually really close to the “real thing”, including sun, halo, lense flare and color gradient in the sky :+1: :clap:

Surprisingly, there wasn’t any reference picture/video. All is just a pure fantasy :slight_smile:

A little memory may have been involved though? I would expect you have seen such scenes before?

Possibly, yes. But nothing specific in my head while creation.

Just search for the Cappadocia Hot Air Balloon Festival in Turkey, and you will be stricken by the resemblance.
