It is really many iterations on the same idea, of interesting ways to animate textures just with UV’s and combine a variety of ‘self-illumination’ techniques, always keeping in mind texture space and memory by using every single channel to its fullest. I won’t give a long explanation, since the idea is simple as I’ve already said, and the implementation of each effect is best learned by reading the code I’ve tried to document well.
