Over the past two months I've been actively revisiting, updating/extending and now close to finishing this 1.5 year long journey... The actual journey has been much longer, been toying with (faux) fluid sims since ~2007...
A 50 second preview of one of my fave variations, best enjoyed fullscreen... Tried to achieve some molten, dichroic/irridescent glass & oilfilm aesthetics here, but there're over a dozen of other very different routes/styles possible too, with 25+ parameters to tweak the simulation and look & feel...
Made with https://thi.ng/shader-ast & https://thi.ng/shader-ast-stdlib

Wow, that was one inspiring evening at the #spatialmedialab!
Thanks to everybody @thenodeinstitute and especially to https://www.instagram.com/alex.g.u.e.v.a.r.a/ for an eye-opening presentation!
I had to sit down with #vvvv and see how far I could get.
Things started to click and I got a first setup working now.
THANKS for the inspiration!!! 
Punk on!
So much to do, but can't stop watching & hacking on this pseudo fluid sim every now & then... 
Probably will develop this further into a tutorial for https://thi.ng/shader-ast

video compression makes sharing loops possible, but plays havoc with fine detail
Time for another flow-field "fractal".
If you're in #Albuquerque next weekend, stop by and see me in person at the Sandia Heights Artists Studio Tour, stop number 2!
