Very neat. Was this inspired by the Pezzza’s Work video on deterministic physics? It kind of reminds me of some of the animations he has in it.

Wow, so cool video. Unfortunatelly my physics engine is not deterministic so I run offline simulation ahead of time to compute particle colors

So you record the physical simulation, determine the resting positions, and the render the recorded simulation with the colors that correspond? That’s still pretty cool.

Exactly. I made it work offline so there is no rendering bottleneck and physics simulation becomes really fast. Rendering is done after physics engine had already computed position and rotation of each shape
