1 Butterfly Effect

This exploration was interested in visualizing and generating forms through the recording of movements. The motion captured was translated into a series of spheres/ icosahedra and subsequently mirrored, then parsed into the shape of a butterfly. Concurrently, the starting planes were converted into lists of points - where they were projected to the ground and made to offset through the use of Bezier curve [degree]. Flowers were generated with the use of Fibonacci sequence, where the [blossom angle] and [number of petals] were used as parameters. Tree branches were produced through the [number of recursions].
