Anyone heard of Gray-Scott reaction-diffusion algorithm?

I was just looking at this site:

http://hackaday.com/2011/09/14/making-better-cnc-halftone-pictures/

 

Which led me to this site:

http://www.interlam-design.com/Mirage_ProductList.cfm

 

Which then led me to this:

http://www.joakimlinde.se/java/ReactionDiffusion/

 

Has anyone delved into this yet? If not how would you start?

thanks in advance?

    Here are a few similar projects by Nervous System using reaction-diffusion.

      Chck out http://toxiclibs.org/2010/02/simutils-grayscott/

      The ToxicLibs in general have a lot of reference for this and a number of other computational methods. Their implementation is 2d, but it's possible to extend the algorithm to 3d, or you can map the 2d output to a 3d surface, which I believe is what the Nervous folks are doing.

        nice finds everyone!

         

        thank you, hopefully I can take this and hack something together with my limited knowledge.  ;-)
