"Flowing 2" is a continuation of my previous piece, "Flowing". I revisited this because I didn't feel that the original was sufficently complex enough for my liking. Other generative artists were really getting a lot of mileage out of flow fields, and I thought there was enough left to explore using that technique to merit another shot at it.

For this second version of "Flowing", I got my hands on color palettes that took a lot of the guesswork out of finding nice combinations of hues. Furthermore, I was able to find a better collision detection algorithm that was more performant. This allowed me to track an order of magnitude more lines and still have rendering times under 1,000 years.
