Fascinating Patterns Revealed Thanks to Blender Nodes
A mesmerizing experiment by Alex Martinelli.
Blender's nodes can create fantastic shapes in the right hands, and Alex Martinelli proves it with his 3D reaction-diffusion experiment, which "grows" bizarre patterns in poor Suzanne's head.
A reaction-diffusion model simulates the behaviour of two virtual chemicals that interact with each other. For this setup, Martinelli used Volume Grid Laplacian, a node that computes the Laplacian of a voxel grid. The Laplacian measures how a value at each voxel differs from that of its neighbors.
As a result, the creator made an interesting pattern that might remind you of a walnut or a brain. Perhaps we'll see more such projects from Martinelli. For now, check out his procedural feather generator, fern maker, crowd simulation, and a fake mobile ad made real on his X/Twitter.
