I lament the inadequacy of serious #simulation#wargames in affecting decisions, strategy, and policy, particularly regarding the 2024 US presidential election. They’re great tools to learn about and explore outcomes in emerging issues, but ineffective without subsequent action.
Black-and-white shot from the film Doctor Strangelove showing a vast round table lit by a corresponding round array of overhead lamps, with serious men in suits and uniformes seated around it. An ominous map of the USSR hangs on the distant walls with long streaks indicating incoming nuclear attacks. Are you allowed to wargame in the war room?
Lately I've been revisiting my old fluid sim toolset which started out as part of my toxiclibs Java libraries (2007/8, based on Jos Stam's research, also previously mentioned in this thread[1]), then ported & expanded it for #Houdini in 2016, then ported again to TypeScript/GLSL (via https://thi.ng/shader-ast in 2019) and been messing around with it on & off ever since... Fluidsims are just so mesmerizing to work/play with and can be taken into so many interesting directions!
I also always loved the watercolor cover designs by Gabriella Holmström for The Memoir[2] series on Hypnus Records and wanted to create similar abstract structures/constellation, albeit with simulated fluids... Stills/snapshots, but showing traces of their creation process.
Attached are a few variations of this system (already collected again hundreds which I have to still curate). Each piece is starting with just 4 drops in always the exact same locations (diamond-shaped layout in the center), but each variation is evolving differently due to randomized concentrations and simulation coefficients, therefore resulting in many different diffusion behaviors and outcomes... Some of the pieces which exhibit more viscous fingering[3] almost remind me of Hokusai's Great Wave[4]...
I will be offering sets of unique prints/cards of these via my shop soon. Also still researching feasibility of integrating interactively created variations in the shop (also for other artworks/collections of mine).
A 3x3 grid of complex abstract shapes created via fluid simulations as described in the post. The images have a monochromatic blue tint (the underlying simulation is just producing a grayscale image)
Evening doodle: a #snowflake generator of sorts, created as a simple particle #simulation in #Blender. The simulation is done with diffusion-limited aggregation, implemented quite similar to this earlier work of mine: artsnscience.eu/diffusion-limited-aggregation
Silly, fun stealth game full of surprises. Play as a clever fox, stealing chickens and golden eggs, but beware... two guard dogs are on duty, and they take their job way too seriously. Can you outfox them all? #Steam#Action#Indie#Simulation#Strategy
I love ragdolls and I love physics, so I thought I would mush the two together with a level editor and make a cool sandbox game for people to play around in. Currently, there is a very basic JSON-based level editor and 20 pre-built levels. #Steam#Casual#Indie#Simulation#EarlyAccess
