2D ASMR Sand Cutting: Cohesion & Moisture Granular Model
Top-down 2D ASMR kinetic-sand cutting: drag the blade to carve the tray, and tune cohesion, moisture and blade speed to see clean satisfying cuts turn into crumbling, avalanching sand in real time.
This is the 2D, top-down companion to the 3D ASMR sand-cutting sim. Instead of orbiting a rendered mesh, it carves a real depth grid directly beneath the cursor and shades it like the tray really looks from above: a bright, undisturbed surface and a darker, shadowed groove wherever the blade has passed. The same radial-influence dig kernel from the 3D version drives the cut, but here cohesion and moisture content are real, adjustable parameters — push cohesion low or moisture to either extreme and the cut walls avalanche and spray grains instead of holding a clean edge, exactly the difference between a satisfying ASMR cut and sand that just won't cooperate.
