These renderings never really went anywhere. They show chaotic orbits around 3 fixed attractive potentials while varying a uniform magnetic field. There are some lovely sweeps and folds as the chaos unfolds. I also like the glowing effect as the orbits get tightly wrapped around the centers of attraction. There wasn’t much to this other than some pretty curves, however, I did realize how essential drag is in making interesting forms. I suppose adding flocking and some higher order terms would help in adding further visual interest.
