Branching Seasons
One tree lives through four seasons. Spring blossoms, summer shades, autumn sheds, winter snows. Your fingers can summon wind and rain, or grant sunlight - but the turning of seasons, no one can stop. Inspired by Wen Yan.
About This Work
Trees are time's most honest chroniclers. Branching Seasons grows a cybernetic life tree through fractal algorithms and lets it experience a complete cycle of seasons on screen. In spring, particles condense into petals clustered on branches; in summer, foliage thickens into shade with light flowing through the canopy; in autumn, leaves warm in color and spiral down with the wind; in winter, all falls silent, with snowflakes catching briefly on bare branches. Inside the trunk, energy lines flow in eternal spirals - the tree's heartbeat. Swipe to summon wind, hold to bring rain, click to grant light. But what truly governs everything is time itself.
Features

- Spiral energy lines in trunk
- Particle canopies swaying in wind
- Interactions: swipe for wind, hold for rain, click for light
How to Use
- Swipe mouse on canvas to summon wind
- Hold mouse to summon rain
- Click to enhance lighting
- Wait for auto season cycling to experience different seasons
