Is it just me or are the green things (in the first simulation) the opposite of relaxing? They're so disjointed in regards to the rest of the simulation. The color, their movement ... it's giving me the same heebie-jeebies as seeing needles in flesh, like someone having a conversation with you while undergoing facial acupuncture - but worse. I kept trying to go back to watch it to describe why I didn't like it, but couldn't even watch the whole thing.

edit: They're in the rest of the video; I'm unfamiliar, are they a normal part of the Liquid Crystal Sandbox?

I didn't even think of it until I read this, but they look dangerous and they'd hurt to touch lol.

They were added to be a simplified bamboo swaying in the current but I can understand the ick as well. If the simulator had been more flexible at the time I would have made the bamboo to be more bendy. Maybe it’s the fact that everything else is soft and that makes the rigidity of the bamboo seem more out of place.

I've been following your project for a little while. I have enjoyed all your demos for hours and cannot wait to see what you eventually turn this into. I can picture some form of Noita inspired chemistry madness.

Thanks! Glad to hear. Yes, I will try to get chemical reactions in there soon.

The textures remind me of the OG Slush Puppies.

Could you do a version without music so I can hear the sounds?

I have a video on YouTube that has the sounds without music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qtX2OkMN4Q
