  • This is awesome! The strength of the flow/advection is a bit too high imo. Maybe increase some viscosity parameter?

  • The interactive explanation is the best part — being able to scrub the sim while reading the writeup made it actually click.

  • looks beautiful! i wanted to bookmark it because sometimes i need to explain some geometry to my son, and i have to download some sketching app each time, but with this I could just open and paint. There's one problem however. When on mobile, the page does not hid the control panel (mode, ink, etc) and it takes a large portion of the screen.

  • Great example of a Single File Web App (https://gods.art/articles/single_file_web_apps.html). I'm trying to get a wikipedia page up for this concept (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Single_File_Web_Apps).

  • Beautiful! Love the fluidity. Great for calligraphy.

    > While I've tidied up a bit, the rest of this article contains plenty of AI-witten prose.

    This is the right approach. I have no problem with someone using AI to draft a presentation (especially a technical one like this) -- just say it upfront and then people have no reason to get upset.

  • The examples display a degree of vorticity that I have never seen in real life watercoloring. They look great superficially, but they look super weird at reasonable inspection. Water on paper does not flow nearly so freely.

  • As an amateur watercolour artist (shameless plug: https://www.instagram.com/p/DBlKG5cMPxa) I have to say the feeling your made with this wash is gorgeous. Back in the analogue world - paper grain and type/brand has a lot to do with it. Watercolour is really about unpredictability - it's about taking advantage of this unpredictability in terms of how the water travels down the grain and the impact that it makes, combined with light/shadow and "confidence" the artist brings with the brush. So of course it's never going to be truly transferrable digitally, but I still love the work you put into this.

  • Nice visualizations - have you tried Rebelle? They have an online version that lets you play with the watercolor/brushes of the painting software so you can see the colors drying on the canvas.
