(For procedural generation)
Images that contain useful reference for procedurally generated coral.
As I had no idea to create something this complex I looked for some examples to take inspiration from. I found one online which was great, and allowed you to download and setup the code etc.
form what I could decipher it seems that the trees are constructed by constructing rings of geometry around curves defined by code. This allows for a huge variety of different trees.
Looking at this example I realize how much work goes into creating something like this. I doubt I will be able to create something like a coral generator in the short amount of time we have for this project (Especially as I still don’t know how, and to be frank the math in this example terrifies me). Still I am going to push on and try to create something a little more complex than my plane generator.
