Generating organic structures through local mesh vertex growth and repulsion

Differential growth is when different parts of an organism grow at varying rates or directions, altering its form.

Using Kangaroo Physics, this project simulates differential growth across a mesh through local growth and repulsion. As the simulation progresses, these simple rules interact to progressively deform the geometry and produce increasingly complex organic structures.
