"URBANFLOW.art" #Physarum #Simulation

So my research and development is bearing fruit:
Today I tried out using my new physarum force with SDF-text in the form of our Media·Art studios name https://UrbanFlow.art
And together with several other forces this turned out beautiful!

"Stream of Consciousness" · Physarum simulation

From a diffuse field of feelings, ideas and outer impulses our mind creates streams, fields and rivulets of ideas and thoughts.
Some solve complex problems, some decide what to wear or eat, most are circular movements without a real purpose.

Quantum fields dancing.

"Physarum 1.0"

After another day in the HLSL code for my Physarum Force for the particle system in Tooll3, I achieved a first version of agents that follow their own pheromones.
I also added several parameters for a wider range of control.

"The Force"

Next step in my simple look-ahead agent force R&D for Tooll3, written in HLSL as a compute shader.
This one is looking ahead and a bit to the left and right and determines where to go based on where it is brightest.
For that, I feed the resulting rendered frame back into the force.

"Mirage"

· Ceci n'est pas une mirage ·

Today I wrote an explorative particle force prototoype as HLSL compute shader in Tooll3 that interacts with feedback and creates very natural feeling fluid motion with a somehow "alive" touch.
Love it!

Enjoy! :-)

In cubic space, a star is born
And from it's sides, the force is torn
To melt inside, into a sun
To glow forever and have fun ;-)

Had an idea today and it worked right away. 4 million Tooll3 (https://tooll.io) particles with a bit of feedback for smoother motion.

May this warm your heart.

Cheers,

Tom

"Entanglement"

Enjoy!

"Entanglement"

All life is entangled, connected, entwined.
No matter how different, we're all one.

Tooll3 particles - 4 million - flow through space and time, and I tried to capture the emotion with my EWI USB and Respiro.

Give your soul some space to breath.

Genuary 2025 Day 18: "What does Wind look like?"

A cool breeze is flowing into my window
Brings blue air from the moon outside
Seeking warmth from the fire
Dissolving in the heat

A deceivingly simple animation in Tooll3 for this nice prompt... :-)

Genuary 2025 Day 14: "Pure black and white. No gray."

"Octapodicalus Punctum Albus"

A very rare species of octolateral pointillist beings living in the black void.
Feeding on single-pixel organisms they catch in their grids...

Genuary 2025 Day 15: "DesignARug"

I thought I should give this a try and see if I can come up with a rug-design that I would actually like to have in my room.

Of course it should change every now and then and move and be alive... ;-)
So light transporting yarn and some LED undercoat maybe?
