Warp

I was thinking about Wood Bora for this project and imagining what would happen if they co-ordinated their “boring” efforts.

I wanted to create a point mesh that would then be distorted by a point travelling over it using an inverse square relationship.

Early attempts:

Unfortunately I was unable to get the points to stay in their new positions and had to borrow some code of the internet.

Using an adaptation of code that Golan had written for me and some help from Miles. The code is no longer borrowed, but my own!

Final attempts:
