Conclusion :: Opens 30. Jan. 2019
Full 3D Cellular Automata
Equipped with the knowledge about programming and how Cellular Automata work, you should be able to explore the example of the “full 3D CA” on your own!
For all CA Grasshopper examples in this module you need the Anemone Plugin, which allows us to have loops in Grasshopper: https://www.food4rhino.com/app/anemone
Download simplified Grasshopper file: CellularAutomata_04_3D_free_Simplified (works without external Plugin)
Download Grasshopper file as used in the Lecture :: CellularAutomata_04_3D_free (external Plugin needed! https://provingground.io/tools/conduit-for-grasshopper/)
