Generate beautifully oriented, gradient-colored strands that grow, flow, and react to multiple force fields—directly from images, text, or 3D models. In this tutorial we will go over all of the settings.
Flowr turns any source (layer with alpha, OBJ model, sphere, or rounded cube) into a 3D surface. Strands grow from that surface, guided by interacting fields: curl noise, base vectors, normal vectors, and surface attraction. The result? Organic, directional wires that feel alive.
Use a text layer, PNG with alpha, or any shape.
Flowr finds the contour, extrudes it into 3D, and grows strands right from the surface.
Combine curl noise, directional vectors, normal attraction, and surface pull.
Each field has its own length ramp, so influence can change along the strand.
For example: straight near the root, twisting at the tips.
