Motion design primitives
Synthesizable in Remotion · key components of the generative-simulation-showcase template.
GenerativeBoidSimulation
A large swarm of small particles (boids) moves cohesively, forming organic, fluid shapes against a gradient sky. The swarm reacts dynamically to external inputs and internal parameters.
+ Code construction recipe
Implement a 3D particle system using Three.js or a custom WebGL canvas. Utilize a Boids algorithm (e.g., Craig Reynolds' rules for separation, alignment, cohesion) to govern particle movement. Parameters like 'bird count', 'flight speed', 'cohesion' should be exposed as Remotion props for dynamic control. Render particles as simple sprites or small geometric shapes.
InteractiveUIOverlay
A semi-transparent, rounded rectangular panel slides in from the right, containing sliders and tabs for adjusting simulation parameters. Values update in real-time as sliders are manipulated.
+ Code construction recipe
Create a React component for the UI panel. Use Remotion's `spring()` or `interpolate()` for the slide-in animation of the panel. Implement range input sliders (`<input type='range'>`) for parameter control. Use `useState` and `useCallback` to manage slider values and update the underlying simulation props. Apply a `backdrop-filter: blur()` for the frosted glass effect.
HandTrackingPIP
A small, rounded rectangular video feed of a hand appears in the bottom-left corner, demonstrating real-time interaction with the main simulation.
+ Code construction recipe
Use Remotion's `Video` component to display the presenter's webcam feed. Apply CSS `border-radius` for the rounded corners and `position: absolute` for placement. Implement a simple fade-in or scale-up animation using `interpolate()` for its appearance. Ensure the video feed is composited cleanly over the main simulation.

Objective
Launch a new AI-powered architectural design tool that generates dynamic building facades based on environmental data.How the recipe adapts
The GenerativeBoidSimulation primitive would be adapted to a 'GenerativeFacadeSystem', where individual particles represent modular building components. Their movement and arrangement would be governed by AI-driven rules responding to simulated environmental inputs like sunlight and wind. The InteractiveUIOverlay would control parameters such as 'material reflectivity', 'component density', and 'wind resistance'. The HandTrackingPIP would show a designer manipulating a virtual environment to influence the facade's evolution. The gradient background would represent different times of day or weather conditions, and the overall aesthetic would maintain the ethereal, minimalist feel, showcasing the AI's ability to create beautiful, responsive architecture.Remix blueprint · generative-simulation-showcase
