Self Organization Issue

by Moonbeast

Oct 1, 2012

Daniel, 

First, thank you for all of the great work, you have opened many doors for me and many others in generative design. I am working on a self organization and was just wondering if you had any tips to speed it up, it works fine, it just takes a while sometimes to find that nice organized moment, I have been playing with the numbers for a while, please let me know if you have any suggestions. Also it doesn't work nearly as well with more points, as expected,

thanks

Martin

      Hi Martin,

      It's not clear to me what is the effect you are aiming for here.

      If it is about getting an even distribution of points, I've had much better results with springs for the repulsion rather than power laws, because it is easier to avoid the big discontinuities in the energy function that cause instability.
