PixelFlow is a Processing/Java library for high-performance GPU computing via GLSL shaders. It provides fluid simulation, flow-field particle systems, softbody dynamics, a realtime Skylight renderer, extensive postprocessing filters, and antialiasing techniques.

Use cases

• simulate real-time fluids in Processing sketches
• create GPU-accelerated particle systems with flow fields
• run cloth and softbody physics simulations
• apply postprocessing filters like bloom, blur, and optical flow
• render scenes with ambient occlusion and soft shadows
• run Shadertoy shaders inside Processing

When to choose

• you use the Processing IDE and need GPU-accelerated simulations or visual effects
• you want fluid, particle, or cloth simulation in Java with GLSL performance
• you need a broad set of image-processing and postprocessing shaders in one library

When to avoid

• you are not working in Processing/Java
• you need a maintained library with recent releases (last release was 2018)
• you need CPU-only simulation or headless server-side rendering
