This is like magic.

also includes a pixel size setting - with larger pixels, the effect is much stronger and persists for longer (better when fully zoomed out to 1200x675 and with higher scale)

@LBPHacker It is actually a moire pattern of the intersection between the pixel grid and the circular EXOT pattern (of an ideal EXOT with no pixel size). Look here, the pattern effect shifts and eventually disappears as it zooms in: https://www.shadertoy.com/view/wdSfWw

Press w 3 times. It looks like star.

That aside, the Shadertoy repro works, so that's a good starting point.

I'm not correct in this case though. The inadequately sampled function idea would indeed yield these patterns in 1D, but as far as I can tell, in 2D it would yield simple concentric circles centered around origo. Idk, I'll report back when I have a better idea, or I manage to extend the current one to 2D.

@LBPHacker has some damn brains. Good on ya!

I think it's something to do with the TMP or position of the EXOT
