#flowfields
Added some more #axidraw #penplotter pieces to my little gallery wall. Once again using #clojure to hack together some fun generations. These are all using flowfields and 'wandering' paths with various parameter tweaks. And some nice new inks :)

I can't wait to share more soon, but the multiplayer network (deterministic lockstep) is working with the new navigation system. (flowfields + avoidance)

when my brain is tired, it's okay to play with #flowfields. it's kind of like coloring to relieve stress, but for procgen art

That you cannot ask developers to add flowfields everywhere 😂

Hows custom RTS navigation using flowfields going you ask? 😅

We brought a control theoretic perspective to understand what kinds of readouts/behaviors are easy to learn and generate. We can differentiate desired neural _trajectories_ based on alignment with underlying flowfields and controllability, even when all trajectories lie in the same subspace.

Updated my pathfinding to use A* instead of Flowfields and I'm seeing a much better outcome! #IndieDev #gamedev #godot

This is not a large amount of data, where exactly do you get slowdowns and are you positive that those two flowfields are the cause?

Wrapping my poor wee brain around normal map driven flowfields…

When your tests suddenly fail for test pages in NextMajor (BC 27), check whether FlowFields are involved. Due to the new Feature "Calculate only visible FlowFields", you might need an additional CalcFields now.

OptimizeForTextSearch Property in #msdyn365bc:

Whereas the docs (learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynami...) correctly state that the property works for normal fields and tables only, the runtime still lets you assign it to FlowFields, FlowFilters and temp. tables.
This will be blocked for BC 26.
OptimizeForTextSearch property - Business Central
Include the field in the optimized text search index to allow faster search in the UI.

An excellent article by Emil Dziewanowski about faux fluid simulation using flow fields: emildziewanowski.com/flowfields/

Business Central Tip: Search doesn't match values in images, BLOB fields, FlowFilters, FlowFields, and other fields that aren't part of a table.

I agree. They also do not address how to then make search usable in lists where lookup flowfields are used. Will it be enough that underlying table has that attribute for example?

Thanks for that hard work. Just an FYI we completely corrupted our database on v25 by in a minor update of our PTE enabling fulltextsearch on text fields including lookup flowfields. This was not prevented by compiler but damaged database so badly we can’t upgrade PTE or appsource apps. So beware!

Organic local avoidance is the expensive part of flowfields, that headroom disappears fast once units start negotiating around each other. What's your frame budget on the low end machines?
August 3, 2026 at 3:39 AM
Why should we even specify field types on flowfields or fields with a complete table relation, it's redundant information.

Hmm... I'm terrible at counting... 565 seems like a better number :) (Number of flowfields in #msdyn365bc)
