FOUND! Im currently in my first year of spatial design working on the generation of a "Space". So far I have used the idea of random occurances actually ordering systems. I used ink splatters as co-ordinates for a site, and also used the density to decipher how tall the ceiling is at that point (so far it looks like a pavillion with a roof made of triangles!) My feed back was to study the ink more in not just visual terms... so here I saw your work mentioning audio and magnetic (went way over my head) but could you recomend any experiments or tests i could do to give my "space" a bit more validity? Thanks! :) Carrie Hi Robert,

More than anything though, I am trying to make the flocking algorithm stand on its own as something that creates organic movement based on very few rules. The current flock essentially does three things. 1) Find a direction of flight based on a perlin noise flow field. 2) Push away from other objects that are really close to avoid overlap or collision. 3) Push away from the boundary sphere to keep it from straying too far. I guess it wouldnt be too weird to have the perlin noise be effected by audio. Maybe I will try that out this week. Simon: Dankë! Glad you like. I thought of calligraphy too, especially when viewing the detail images. Mr. A: Thats something I had not considered. Makes sense. I should probably incorporate some sort of toggleable perlin visualizer because its hard to imagine the flow field... I need to see it to see how to tweak it. Will try multi-layer noise this week.

I don't know if that would help in your case but I thought I'd throw it our there in case it's of some use.

This one is really incredible. Reminds me of old zen caligraphy. The perfect inperfection of the stroke. Something I always thought impossible in computer graphics but it seem you like to push the limits each time a bit more far. Keep up the good work man! It's always great inspiration for me. Cheers! Simon. Woaw Robert!
