Piano Flow · Behind the scene ·

" Life is Dance – All is Flow "

Enjoy! 😊

This project was created as part of our studio 'UrbanFlow.art' in Berlin, where we work as Media Artists in the field of 3D, design, graphics and sound.

You can find more of the work on our website: https://urbanflow.art/en/piano-flow/

Listen close and listen well.
This is the real you.
The one that you have to take good care of.

"Metamorphosis" · The Galactic Lens

In this video, we concentrate our macro camera on the 70cm fresnel lens of the huge movie spotlight. It is quite fascinating how the individual rings bend the light and create another layer of form and movement.

"The Engine of Time"

This is how time is made, from quantum streams of energy in perpetual flux, the rhythm of life itself.

Finally trying out the new version of Tooll3 ("main") that now offers SDF fields for selection, as forces and for raymarching.

The creation of the sculpture

This video shows how the #sculpture was originally designed as a logo in #Softimage #XSI and rendered in different styles over the years

In 2024 we finally made it into the wall #lamp it always was supposed to be by 3D-printing it in four pieces on a #Creality #Ender 5 Plus

"URBANFLOW.art" #Physarum #Simulation

So my research and development is bearing fruit:
Today I tried out using my new physarum force with SDF-text in the form of our Media·Art studios name https://UrbanFlow.art
And together with several other forces this turned out beautiful!

"Stream of Consciousness" · Physarum simulation

From a diffuse field of feelings, ideas and outer impulses our mind creates streams, fields and rivulets of ideas and thoughts.
Some solve complex problems, some decide what to wear or eat, most are circular movements without a real purpose.

Quantum fields dancing.

"Physarum 1.0"

This is especially cool, since it integrates with all other forces, here I use for instance a custom turbulence with symmetry and the angular force for a more geometrical look

"Physarum 1.0"

After another day in the HLSL code for my Physarum Force for the particle system in Tooll3, I achieved a first version of agents that follow their own pheromones.
I also added several parameters for a wider range of control. 😎

The Tides · of Life

Some days you wrap the universe around you like a magic cloak
The threads of life aligned just right and flowing

Some days all energy flows out in sacred bloom, exploding in the sky
And you are spent, but gloriously so

In this piece, we project a living painting created in Tooll3 onto a 3D printed light sculpture.

"Flower of Life"

Based on a large horn speaker, this sound sculpture comes to life with a generative realtime animation created in Tooll3 that flows along like a day on the meadows and in the forest, then moves into an old Zen garden with gnarly old bonsai trees...

The soundtrack is created in @vcvrack generatively through pure synthesis for an everchanging ambience of peace.

"Flower of Life"

First the tendrils go exploring and then the leaves come out.
The forest awakens, a gentle breeze moves the petals.
Life ensues.

Later in life, some of the colour has worn off, things get slower.
Contemplation settles in with thoughts of Zen and Wisdom.
Calm and Measured.

In cubic space, a star is born
And from it's sides, the force is torn
To melt inside, into a sun
To glow forever and have fun ;-)

Had an idea today and it worked right away. 4 million Tooll3 (https://tooll.io) particles with a bit of feedback for smoother motion.

May this warm your heart.

Cheers,

Tom

"Entanglement"

All life is entangled, connected, entwined.
No matter how different, we're all one.

Tooll3 particles - 4 million - flow through space and time, and I tried to capture the emotion with my EWI USB and Respiro.

Give your soul some space to breath. 🙏

Genuary 2025 Day 18: "What does Wind look like?"

A deceivingly simple animation in Tooll3 for this nice prompt... :-)

Genuary 2025 Day 15: "DesignARug"

I thought I should give this a try and see if I can come up with a rug-design that I would actually like to have in my room.

Of course it should change every now and then and move and be alive... ;-)
So light transporting yarn and some LED undercoat maybe?

"The Flow of Sound"

Inspired by the Oscilloscope Music community, I worked in VCV-Rack with the Nysthi "Etchasketchoscope" module and several sine oscillators and found this beautiful flow.

The left and right channel are slightly detuned against each other and fm-modulated randomly, which leads to these mesmerizing undulations

The more we are called to focus and find stillness.
Spread your wings and find your height for soaring.
Then jump.

"Rotational Force"

Tooll3 Tutorial on how to create your own HLSL Compute Shader Particle Force:

https://youtu.be/j95VZXGAbwE

In this video I show you how to create your own HLSL compute shader particle force in Tooll3 and the complete workflow on how to set up the operator interface, create parameters and dropdowns with defaults and useful input ranges, re-order parameters ( ;-) ), rename inputs, sort out the compute shader input buffer slots, get useful error messages, write documentation, create examples and presets and also guide you through the code and the simple example scene I created.

I talk a bit about GPU threading and [numthreads] and I found this video very helpful to understand the inner workings of GPUs and compute shaders:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDLilzy2mq0

Tooll3 is open source and ATM available on Windows only (although one user reported having it running on Linux in a Bottle).
You should have a decent GPU for good performance.

Download it here:

I did several animations with the force already:
