Sand components and templates

The authored field, served byte-for-byte: ridged ranges over an open swell, mirrored in the water under a cold blue horizon.

The same field as a night harbour: a low far bank carrying a lit skyline, a suspension span crossing the water in front of it, and the whole grade turned from cold blue to sodium.

The ridged fractal sampled across one wind instead of every direction, so its crests comb into dunes over worked sand, under a sun that has just gone.

The ranges rounded off into forested hills with a meander carved through them; the wave lattice is masked to that channel, so the swell becomes a river running out of the frame.

A cinematic dune flight under violet twilight, with procedural sand ridges, a layered distant range, wind-blown haze, pointer-guided orbit, and a smooth night-to-day lighting dissolve.

The authored scene, preserved unchanged: a turned wooden hourglass whose sand drains through a pinched neck, glides along the desk and tips end over end on its own rim.

A fifty-one key board in a dark walnut sandwich case on a thin honey-oak top, with a machined plate and sculpted PBT caps. It types LOADING one key at a time — each press an eighth of the capsule, a commit light out from the return key, then a wave that runs the board clear.

A low two-button mouse on a fumed-oak board, its shell one analytic surface — a rounded-rectangle section over a superellipse plan — so the curves carry no creases. Five clicks and one scroll fill the capsule; the buttons hinge on their own seam and the cord follows the body across the wood.

A saddle-stitched leather bifold lying open on a thin mahogany board, dealing the four cards terraced in its slot out into a clear row in front of it. Every card goes straight up out of the pocket before it travels, so nothing ever passes through anything; the last one lifts and turns to catch the light.
