PROJECT LAVOS · STUDIES · MMXXVI · 15 PLATES · 1 MOUNTAIN

The Studies is fifteen plates. The Stack is the inventory of techniques the series was built from. This page renders one Mt Fuji live in your browser using path-traced lighting, fbm-driven mountain silhouettes, layered IBSDF materials, and a volumetric atmosphere — and lights it, in sequence, with the accent color of every plate in the series. One mountain. Fifteen suns. The chord made visible.

The Studies is fifteen editorial plates. The Stack is the inventory of computer-graphics technologies they were written against. This page is the synthesis: every plate, every technique, on a single canvas, simultaneously.

The mountain is constant. The sun is the chord. Hokusai's discipline was the same mountain in many lights; the print, the corpus, the shader, the format — all of them argue for that same procedural stance. Build a single thing well; let the conditions vary.

The fifteen every plate, in series order

fifteen views. one mountain.

The Stack as method. The chord as proof. The mountain stands; the light shifts.
