Energy-Brushes: Interactive Tools for Illustrating Stylized Elemental Dynamics
summary
An interactive painting tool maps coarse energy brushes to networks of flow particles as local velocity fields that drive stroke motion, letting users tune power, size, interval, rotation and stretch constraints and combine layers and anchors. The system is real-time and stable, includes three built-in brush types plus a brush designer, and a pilot study finds real-time feedback lets novice users create effects (simple waves, smoke, fire, cloth) in minutes with plausible results.
