WIND FLOW & TURBULENCE

HOUDINI:

CURL NOISE FUNCTION

TURBULENCE PARAMETER - UNSTABLE AIR MOVEMENT RANGING in severity, CAUSING MINOR TO DRAMATIC CHANGES IN ALTITUDE AND AIR SPEED.

DECAY FORM 3.1 IS SUBJECTED WITH VARYING WIND FORCES ON SITE THROUGH SIMULATION TO FURTHER ABSTRACTION AS WELL AS EXPLORING THE STRUCTURAL COMPOSITION OF THE POROUS FORM.

/CURLNOISE/ IS USED BECAUSE OF ITS SIMILAR CHARACTERISTICS WITH WIND FLOW ON SITE.

ROTATION OF A VECTOR FIELD WILL FOLLOW A GIVEN CELL SIMILAR TO WINDS FOLLOWING THE FORM OF THE TERRAIN ON SITE.

WIRE RADIUS: 0.5

SCATTERED POINTS: 10

SEARCH RADIUS: 5

MAX SEARCH POINTS: 10

/VDBFROMPOLYGONS/SCATTER/ TRANSFORM DECAY1.6 MODEL INTO VDBFOG FOR SCATTER POINTS

/CONNECTADJACENTPIECES/ SCATTERED POINTS ARE CONNECTED AT A CERTAIN SEARCH RADIUS TO CREATE A MATRIX.

/POINTVOP/SOLVER/RAY/ TO APPLY A VELOCITY FOR THE CURLNOISE USING THE ABOVE PARAMETERS AND VARYING TURBULENCE FACTOR TO CREATE DIFFERENT FORMS. /RAYFUNC/ IS PLUGGED IN TO AVOID LINES ESCAPING THE GEOMERTY WHICH SHOWS GROWTH INSTEAD OF DECAY.

/WIREFRAME/VDBFROMPOLYGONS/VDBSMOOTH/ TO CREATE AN ORGANIC FORM SIMILAR TO PREVIOUS SERIES MODELS.
