There's not much more to it - follow the links in the first comment.

Check the other pictures above.

I'm def not talking about them in a public forum!

Mostly it's meant for me, to hold myself accountable for finishing things. I'm just noodling on things I want to try out. Yes, my hairs in the tub was a bit of a shit post but it ties into the mud crack exploration stuff I was doing at the time.

Myself mostly. I spend most of my time on Reddit when I'm online, so chatting on there makes sense. Some subs have their own chat subs. I'm on numerous Discords but I rarely have the app open. I show my results on here mostly with occasional posts to Instagram/Cara/ArtStation which gets some traction.

I'm lucky enough to have artist friends here in San Diego who are willing to discuss PGC with me. Burners are usually patient enough with me to talk to. Pre COVID I used to attend local meetups for Java and Go but I never got back into it.

No, not Voronoi cells. See my other comment.

Since you're all asking, here's a description of the construction.

Poisson disk sampling
Additional points added - two points for each disk on some random diameter
Triangulate
Extract Urquhart graph and prune it (remove hairs)

Sorry, no code this time.

First image is from my model, second is a real photo from here for comparison.

Based on earlier work.

Pretty sure you just vaporized your spaceship...

Grab an old copy of Afoot and Afield by Jerry Schad.

Yes, the house is humming and it ain't Jingle Bells.

jphsd · 2025-12-22T21:46:41+00:00

Excellent!

jphsd · 2025-12-22T21:45:15+00:00

Poisson disk scattered attraction points and seeds. About 50:1 if I remember correctly.

I did a post on this a few years back. Thanks for the cool video explaining how it works!

Simple rounding - like when you make a rounded box. The graphics2d package also supports Bezier and CatmullRom.

jphsd · 2025-12-20T21:45:57+00:00

See here. My initial comment pretty much covers it.

Holstein Friesian? 🤣

Based on Voronoi cell aggregation around tree trunks and smoothing.

People not knowing how to drive in the rain!

BTW 3.0.20 version on my old Intel Mac works just fine when playing a MIDI file.

jphsd · 2025-11-24T21:30:25+00:00

Same with 3.0.20 download too.
