Step 1 of 13
What's a flow field?
In generative art, a flow field is a grid of directional forces. It steers noise into organic drifts instead of static. Every layer follows its own field, and its Texture decides what that field draws. Six of them, from Streaks to Contours to Streamlines.
Step 2 of 13
Random rerolls the canvas
One press, or the R key, and every unlocked setting gets a fresh value. The rest of this tour is about steering it.
Step 3 of 13
Three tabs, one canvas
General holds the canvas settings and Motion. Layer A and Layer B hold each layer's own look.
Step 4 of 13
Each layer has its own settings
Layer A and Layer B each get their own seed, color, density, flow field, and symmetry, so they rarely match.
Step 5 of 13
Pick a size, or tile it
Web, Tablet, and Mobile presets set common dimensions, and a phone held upright starts on Mobile. Tile squares the canvas and mirrors both layers, so it repeats with no visible seam.
Step 6 of 13
Mask it into a shape, or a fade
An optional shape mask clips or fades the composition. Circle, diamond, vignette, corner or side vignette, or stripes, all dithered rather than cut off sharply.
Step 7 of 13
Lock a field to keep it
A locked field survives a randomize pass instead of getting a new value. A tab shows a padlock once any of its fields are locked. Lock All and Unlock All replace every lock at once, so they arm on a one-second hold.
Step 8 of 13
Narrow the range, keep the theme
Palette Range and Density Range constrain how far a randomized color or fill can wander. That keeps Auto-randomize inside one tight, cohesive family.
Step 9 of 13
Explore with Auto-randomize
Lock what you like, then unlock the rest while it plays, and watch the results narrow. Space starts and stops it. Prefer more control? Reach for Random by hand.
Step 10 of 13
Undo steps back
Went too far? Undo (or Cmd/Ctrl+Z) walks back through recent passes, whether they came from a press or from autoplay. There is no way forward, so the button arms on a hold. The shortcut is immediate.
Step 11 of 13
Save it, or share a link
Three save slots live in your browser, and loading or overwriting one arms on a hold. Copy Link puts the same snapshot, locks and motion included, into a URL anyone can open. The menu beside it can make that link play on open.
Step 12 of 13
Export PNG, SVG, or GIF
PNG and SVG save the still. A GIF starts from what is on screen and records one pass by default. Ask for more and each pass after the first is what Auto-randomize would have generated next.
Drift
Step 13 of 13
Animate it
Motion, in the General tab, moves the composition instead of replacing it. Loop, Drift, Wind, Pulse, Ripple, and Tide each hold every setting and run one cycle that lands back on its first frame, with no cut. Speed, under it, sets how long a cycle takes.
