Grown Structures

[syzmatrix]

Hello everyone, I saw a very interesting video here GROWN STRUCTURE

Can these very interesting effects be done in Houdini, I think it would be fun.

I found some of them has be done here:

But the Grown Structures video shows far more possibilities, especially in 3d structures.

Hope we can do the same interesting stuff:)

Wow that is hypnotic. There was some Coral type stuff posted here like this before. It seems to use Grey Scott diffusion reaction

I think this is probably a good place to start to have an idea of what is going on here. 

 

There is a link to a .hip file on this video by Dan wills which should also help. It in the comments

They can all be done in Houdini. The differential growth thread pretty much covers the basis for all of the effects in that video. I don't think we really need another thread for it. That aside, is the one at 2:28 (the video seemed to start here) one you are referring to specifically?

The video you linked to was origianlly posted by deskriptiv (http://www.deskriptiv.de/) a couple of years ago. If you like that video do take a look at their work! I believe that Christoph Bader (one of the co-founders of deskriptiv) was a member of ODForce. It seems that they used to use Houdini for their work.
