Kaleidoscope From Photo

Interactive kaleidoscope effect.

I had initially tried to get a distortion effect using squares, but realised quickly that hexagons would give a much richer feel. The distortion is done by rotating the uvs for each one separately, in glsl, and also adding an animated noise to the hue.
