Abstract:
We propose a computational method for generating organic textures with controlled anisotropy and directionality. The method first tessellates a region into a set of pseudo Voronoi polygons (cells) using a particle model, and then generates the detailed geometry of each of the polygons using a subdivision surface method with fractal noises. A user can create various types of realistic looking organic textures with ease by simply choosing a cell arrangement type, anisotropy, and directionality, along with the geometry control parameters.
