Sunflower

personal project

Combining procedural modeling, simulations and math to bloom some sunflowers. Main challenge of this project was to dissect all the components of a sunflower so each element is controlable yet dependant to surrounding parts.

We can use fibonacci based math models to describe the phyllotaxis of the sunflower's head. Courtesy of Entagma.

Since the model is procedural we can create the neseceary parameters to quickly itterate and create different versions of the sunflower.
