Murmuration

Category: Particles Tags: particle, gpu, flocking, boids, graphic, chevron, structural

GPU flocking as a bold, velocity-oriented chevron silhouette — ~131k boids flock (separation, alignment, cohesion) and gather into legible procedural shapes (ring, disc, grid, chevron). Hard-edged motion graphics, not a soft glow. Patch audio onto gather/scatter via modulation.
