Thanks in advance.

And now there are also some tools in Nautilus plugin to get extract the directions of a scalar field.

Gradient Flow on Mesh

A new tool that will make a particle flowing along the maximum gradient on a mesh. If no weights on mesh vertex, the tool will use the height of the vertex, so by default it is a Rain Flow. A step is per face so you don’t need to input a step distance but rather a maximum number of steps.
