Emergent Currents
Particles tracing a divergence-free noise field
Curl noise produces divergence-free vector fields — particles flowing through them never converge or diverge, creating organic, fluid-like motion. This interactive visualiser lets you explore how layered fractal noise shapes emergent flow patterns.
The Challenge
Placeholder text for the challenge section. This will describe the creative and technical goals of the visualisation — why curl noise, what aesthetic we're aiming for, and what makes this approach interesting.
Background
Placeholder text for the background section. This will cover the mathematics of curl noise, divergence-free vector fields, and their applications in computer graphics and simulations.
Approach
Placeholder text for the approach section. This will explain the implementation details — how the noise field is computed, how particles are advected, and how the visual parameters affect the output.
