Free TouchDesigner GLSL Particle Swarm Project with Interactive GUI (heysoos)

Overview

GitHub user heysoos shares a particle swarm system written as a GLSL shader and run in TouchDesigner with an interactive GUI. The particles are simple boids that feel repulsive Coulomb and attractive gravitational forces from neighbours within a radius or vision cone.

GUI controls set the random seed, time step, alignment cone, force balance and radii, the particle count through the data texture resolution, mass variance, and video recording, while the forces themselves live in particle_shader.glsl. ParticleComputeShader.GUI.toe is a free direct download from GitHub.
