Lenia Mixer Tutorial 06 - Passive Simulation Modes
In this final tutorial we explore the passive simulation modes of Lenia Mixer, a second force that works independently from the audio spectrum to keep the mass from dispersing and to widen the dynamic range of the simulation.
We start with the Lenia mode, the default one, with its own kernel and a gaussian growth function you can shape freely. Then we look at the Mpower and AlphaPow sliders that control the strength of the force, the 3D perlin noise mode with continuous z animation, and the image mode, where you can load black and white images or animated sequences from the content manager and use them to move or generate matter. Finally, the interpolation triangle lets you blend all the modes together.
This closes the tutorial series. Next time I'll show how I usually navigate the controls during a live session.
