Turn images into flowing particle animations! Renders real-time in the browser. Free and open source software. Github repo: https://github.com/collidingScopes/particular-drift
Turn images into flowing particle animations! Upload an image, then use the controls to adjust the colors, particle speed, attraction strength, edge detection threshold, flow field movement, 2D vs. 3D noise, etc.
Click the 🎲 button underneath the canvas to randomize all input parameters, this can give interesting colour / movement styles. You can then open the controls at the top right of the screen to fine-tune the parameters one-by-one.
Increasing the attraction strength will make the particles stick to the edges, while increasing the particle speed will cause the particles to become unstuck and flow around the canvas freely.
You can export your creation as an image or video afterwards.
A few hotkeys for the pros:
[r]: randomize all inputs (useful to find interesting parameters for a new image)
[c]: choose random color palette
[space]: pause/play the animation
[enter]: restart the animation
[v]: start and stop video export
[s]: save a screenshot image
[u]: upload new image

I'd love to hear any feedback or suggestions. Cheers and happy animating 🌀
Congratulations on the launch of Particular Drift! This tool effectively addresses the challenge of creating dynamic visual content without extensive technical knowledge.
What methods does Particular Drift use to ensure real-time performance while handling complex particle animations in the browser?
Congratulations on launching Particular Drift! Your tool addresses the need for dynamic visual content creation in a user-friendly manner.
How do you plan to support users in customizing the particle animations to align with their specific creative needs?

So you're telling me I can turn any random image into a trippy particle animation?
Amazing work on that. I’m spamming that 🎲 button over and over again and getting bangers each time. Very cool project
Hey, does it support transparent backgrounds for layering animations onto other visuals? btw amazing work :)
Looks interesting. Feel like the art style can be used in some horror game scenes lol
