Growth Zone: 5 Edge Points
-
Physics
The physics of the surface are based on “Discrete Shells” by Eitan Grinspun, et al. Each edge of the mesh is modelled as a spring…

Growth Zone - Splitting Point
Point-based growth – The center of the hemisphere is emitting growth signal and is the fastest area of expansion. Overtime it bifu…

Uniform Growth
a hemisphere growing uniformly produces a wrinkled surface
-
Growth Zone - Expanding Point
Line-based growth – The center of the hemisphere is emitting growth signal and is the fastest area of expansion. Overtime it expan…

Growing Zone: Edge
Edge-based growth – The edge of the hemisphere is emitting growth signal and is the fastest area of expansion.

Floraform - jellyfish inspired designs
Inspired by the frilly arms of jellyfish. These pieces have a scale that changes throughout the process, producing waves on waves…
-
Floraform - flower inspired designs
Inspired by the forms of flowers, these pieces have curling, convoluted forms.

Geodesic distance
The growth rate of the surface is controlled by the distance along the surface from the edge or some other specified growing zone.…
-
Collision detection
In order to prevent our surface from intersecting itself, we need a way to detect collisions between parts of the surface as it gr…
-
Adaptive Subdivision
As our surface grows, we need to maintain the level of detail of our mesh in order to have a smooth surface and a stable stimulati…
