I’ve spent a bit more time cleaning up the fluid blobs examples I made last week, this time limiting the Region of Interest and fiddling with the fluid interaction. Also newly included is a smarter way to interact with the blobs (in the code, i mean), pulling out more precise locational data. I’ll be looking to mine this one a bit more extensively than I did with the filtration fields installation – and since I seem to be getting better now at things I was attempting before – this should be a lot more fun.In the mix still is some video over network action, as well as potentially a database record of the motion over time. I’d like to develop this as an interactive (from the visualisation point of view) interface where you could select a day, week or month and view the fluid ripples as they occur, like a fluid time-lapse of the actual motion from the courtyard. We’ll see.

Hey Jason, I really liked your integration of the msa fluid library with OpenCV, I was just wondering if it was possible to integrate multiple NominalX/Y points for the interaction rather than just 1 point? Also do you share code? I would love to take a look at it.
Hey Brandon,slow reply, oops..I do share code, happy to give you a look at it – it’s by no means the best example of this and tbh others are doing much more interesting things with this anyway – see the openframeworks forums for some crazy inspiring work.either way, to answer your question, yes you can use more than one point to interact with the fluid. You can use all the points along a curve, an outline of a shape, a field of points which describe a surface or you could just go all out and use delaunay triangulation to describe a shape (i’ve yet to combine this with fluid, but i hope you get the gist..).I’m happy to share my code, let me know if there’s anything in there you’d like to see in particular. The video originally posted is in processing, where these few are all openframeworks.J
Hey Jason, I really liked what you are doing with msa fluid library and OpenCv. Since i saw your videos on vimeo i have been triying to do it myself and no luck so far. Could you give me some advice how to do it? or share your code?Thanks and Greetings from Venezuela
