Lesson 8 of 10 · Strange attractors on the GPU
Color by speed
Fast becomes white; slow becomes blue.
All white looks flat. We color every particle by its speed: where the point flies, the central axis turns white; where it crawls, the lobes become deep blue.
Physics becomes color.
length(attractor(p))The magnitude of velocity. That number drives color: fast becomes bright, slow becomes dark.
