For my second draft, I improved my sketch further by controlling the flow field with the mouse position rather than perlin noise. I also added a boat image just for visualization purposes.
Sketch:
Challenges:
-
- Getting the flow field to leave a trail without the boat repeating itself ✅
- Have a fading effect for the flow fields ❎
Things to add:
- boat created with p5.js (bezier curves and decorated with fractals)
- more realistic water background with ripples
- fix edge issue
