- Press the numbers 1-3 to see the different organelles

- W/S to move time (+shift to move by a full second)
- 1: mitochondrion - this is by far the simplest thing drawn in the project, as it's just half a pill with flat area in it. This is supposed to be cartoony, so I drew lightning coming off of it every second or so
- 2: golgi apparatus - since I refrained from using any sort of 3D modelling program for this, I figured the best way to represent this funky structure is using a raymarched scene, which this is. It also allows for easy blending of the vesicles into the cisternae
- 3: ribosome - this infinitely shows a ribosome transcribing each set of 3 bases in mRNA and creating a protein chain out of it. This was particularly challenging, as I had no clue how to do the animation portion allowing to loop infinitely, but since I've figured out, it's become pretty clear and easy to udnerstand how it works!
