Emergent 3D Path
Emergent 3D path systems is a small computational research project which entails learning and understanding how 3D Wooly Paths work, and how this system combined with Boid algorithms can be used as a method to create emergent, optimal structures that can arise from interaction of both methods. The goal is to build a structure that can adapt and optimally grow from any 3D geometry.
