WEEK 1LOFTING SEA SPONGES

Sea sponge is a specie with huge cavity inside its main part. And also, sea sponges are most likely to grow collectively. Therefore, in order to model this speice of various shapes, we have plenty of approaches.

My idea was lofting the surface based on the arcs generated by the central curves (red line).

For my definition, I basically used the 'BiArc' and 'Loft' nodes to generate the shape. I used the same definition repeatedly, and manipulate the shape by adjusting the central curve.

WEEK 2LOFTING TREE BRANCH

Tree branches are very contorted and irregular. And unlike the sea sponges, tree branches are connected together.

Therefore, I decided to used the 'Graph Mapper' item to manipulate the curve of each branch. I used 'Perlin' and 'Linear' graphes to generate the base curves.

Similarly to my previous defintion for the sea sponges, I used several similar set of definitions to create the bunch of branches.
