Cellular Growth: Self-Organizing of Basic Behaviours

2018-07-29T08:13:04.078Z

A short video for my self-initiated project launched in September last year.
The whole system is based on 4 basic behaviours - growth and death,attracting and repelling. During the earlier stages, I began with Voronoi method to detect density of each point, and different behaviours are given according to that in each loop.Later when I tried to turn it into 3D growth, Voronoi was replaced by Proximity method, to solve an increasingly huge amount of particles, and by the way I added direction definition(based on vector from proximity) to growth part.
The growth and death part, behave like DLA system(outter edges and branches are more likely to grow).The repelling and attracting part, behave more like Differential Growth (particles are keeping distance from each other and buldges will get bigger).

This project is all done in grasshopper(my C# haven't gone so far), the plugin Anemone is used for loop. I've tested for many times to get all kinds of result of system, and figure out the factor that defines the whole shape and behaviour, finally put all the process in this summary video. I hope you enjoy it!

Grasshopper Deconstructing My Museum Project

Some little trial about deconstructing my former project with GH & C#

Tiny Mass (demo)

2017-04-04T15:25:43.868Z

This project is an animation about subdivision and subtraction along the surface of a METABALL which is generated from a sort of points along a curve.
In this video I wanna discuss about the relationship between a mass group of sprouting tiny virtual units and its prototype(maybe a cell,a bacteria or something like a creature).
All these geometries were written with grasshopper to export all these frames, and I did the post-processing in vegas.
This version is a demo piece,the final version is still to be refined.
