After realizing how much work it would be to write a separate generator for each animal type, I changed my method to loosely copy an input model. So I take an input parent, randomize it a bit while keeping the general body shape, and then generate new features and details.

The second image shows one parent and 4 random generations based on that single input model. It loosely keeps the form, but randomizes it enough to be somewhat new. The benefit of this method is that with a single script I can generate almost any animal if I use the correct input model.

This somehow does not seem as impressive as having a "true" animal generator to me, but it is considerably less work.

Introduced some birds, flora and a cottage 🌎

it just had to be done

5 minutes after finally getting a planet together i accidentally blew it up

since my childhood ive been fascinated by the strange shape of jackfruit. getting a whole fruit was never an option (they’re crazy expensive here) and i was always curious about their inner workings.

the other day i was eating another piece, this time a bit more intently and then it hit me how they work. its hundreds of tiny tubes, some of them becoming fertilized and forming seeds and growing, pushing aside the unfertilized tubes.

theres still some things to fix for the next version, but i wanted to share this early prototype with yall :) <3

happy to now have an excuse to get more jackfruit

Don't know if this has been posted here yet, pretty nice :)
