Fluid Forms
A generative motion study using fluid simulation to drive abstract shape
transformations. The piece evolves in real time, with each frame producing
a unique composition of flowing geometries and color fields.
Approach. Rather than keyframing shape transitions by hand, Fluid Forms uses a 2D Navier-Stokes solver to drive the deformation of geometric primitives. Velocity fields from the simulation push vertices across the canvas, creating organic morphing sequences that never repeat.

Technical notes. The simulation runs on GPU via WebGL compute shaders. Density, velocity, and temperature fields are resolved at 120 iterations per frame, then mapped to vertex displacement on a torus primitive. Colour palettes are sampled from the fluid temperature gradient.

Still from the final render — a single frame of the fluid-driven torus displacement.
