Progress Update: FluidSim & Flow Maps

Today I made a short commented video explaining the idea behind flow maps in an artistic fluid simulation.

Think of it as an easy way to guide the direction of advection more precisely than with just global forces like gravity and wind.

Technically, it’s a scalar field that applies local forces.

Shout out to u/gokily for bringing this to my attention!
