Updated versions of some of my very early QC experiments, but this time using OpenCL instead of the Image Pixel patch, which speeds things up quite a lot. It should fall back to using Image Pixel if OpenCL isn’t available, but I’ve not been able to test that, as I no longer have a non-OpenCL-capable machine.

This is beautiful. Just started to learn QC and your works keep me going. Thanks…
Thanks! Glad to be of service…

I had some experiments with real similar stuff a while back at kineme, inspired by some stuff I saw a guy doing in OpenSceneGraph.
In that thread, there’s a thing I think you may find interesting, where for areas of certain pixel value, I render more objects, and there is also a physics reaction going on based on how fast you move. I may have posted the actual OpenSceneGraph clip…which was *very* cool, imo, because the circles that comprise the image degenerate into liquid sim, but stay as solid circles.
I remember the clip, but I didn’t realise anything so complex was going on. Did look nice though. Oddly enough, though the setup above is very simple in theory, it’s surprising how complicated the compositions became.

Agreed; it’s funny how complex they can become… and your work is tidy, to your credit.
( I’ve wanted to make a fluid kernel that works on vectors instead of image, to use in these scenarios.)
Yeah, I’ve not really looked into fluid effects much. Another thing on the list.
And thanks, I try to keep things tidy. Probably spend too much time trying to keep things tidy, in fact….

Sweet, and they do work in image pixels fallback mode
Cool, thanks for the feedback Joe
Happy New Year, incidentally.

Sorry for the delayed reply. I will look into this as soon as I get a chance.
