Magical vector fields

Hello! I think Thursday is becoming my weekly 'I've written a big blog post and want to share it' day.

Magical vector fields

Flow fields, curl noise, octaves, lacunarity. Do these words mean anything to you? They're about to. In this article we dive into how to make various noise-based vector fields that can be squished and stretched to make all sorts of organic shapes.

Most of my generative art uses vector fields in one shape or form; it's surprising how varied they can be if you dive deeper than your basic flow field 🔍️

As usual there's an abundance of interactive demos. Enjoy playing with them!

P.S. my next newsletter will have an exciting announcement. I'm giddy.
