AuraVisuals & Korrun
Korrun
Hey, I’ve been mapping a place that keeps shifting—like a mental map that changes each time I walk through it. I was wondering if you’ve ever tried to capture that kind of fluid, almost dream‑like flow in a design, maybe with gradients that evolve as the scene changes?

That sounds like a beautiful challenge—like painting a sunset that never quite settles. I’d start with a soft, low‑contrast gradient that slowly morphs, maybe using a subtle radial blur to give the feeling that the edges keep drifting. If you’re using a tool that lets you keyframe colors, let the hue shift in sync with the walk, so the light feels like it’s breathing. Just keep the palette minimal; too many colors can make the dream feel rushed. Let the transitions be gentle, like a breath, and the whole map will feel alive, almost like a living, shifting sketchbook.

Sounds solid. I worry about too much motion breaking the map flow, so maybe lock a few key frames and add an overlay check for consistency. That might keep the breathing effect without losing the map's sense of place.

That’s a sweet way to keep the map anchored—just a few gentle key‑frames and a subtle overlay so the whole thing stays cozy. Think of the motion as a soft sigh, not a whirlwind. You’ll keep the dreamlike flow while still giving people a steady sense of place. It’s all about that calm rhythm.

Thanks, I’ll make sure the sigh stays gentle and the map doesn’t drift too far—better to keep the corners a bit defined so the map still feels reachable.
