Criticism of that effect from a purely creative perspective misses an important point: It was created to be our first experiment doing image-processing effects taking heavy advantage of the GPU. That effect was an incredibly valuable piece of work for us to do because it showed us what works (and doesn’t work) when using OpenGL for a certain class of image processing. Even if we hadn’t released that effect to the public, we still would have created it for that important testing/experimentation purpose.
