ambresolaire is a virtual 3-D animation. Software
for common 3-D computer graphics deal more and more with
processing and simulation of physics. Properties like mass,
elasticity or velocity are assigned to each object. In 'ambresolaire'
a particle flow is shown where each particle has its lifespan,
its speed, and a parameter of connectivity, which means that two
or more particles can join or not depending on their distance and
their size. Instead of flowing just in an empty space, the particles
collide and bounce with obstacles (that are transparent and therefore
invisible in the animation). Last but not least, the whole scene
behooves to a general set of gravity.

On top of the animated images, I put the list of ingredients that
was indicated on the back of a sun lotion (ambresolaire). The
terms were just typed into the default ms voice emulator instead of
"You have selected Microsoft Sam as the computer's default voice".
Speed was then adapted to the length of the animation.
