GA Wall Lighting

Here we move from an opaque wall of cube units to one that tansmits light when all the units finally become spheres. The units transform uniformly in this instance.

GA Wall Intro

The premise of my project is to use a cellular unit like the cube and transform it's continuity setting over a period of time so that it becomes a sphere. A random continuity value can then be applied to many units to create a varied effect.

Ant Movement

This is the animation and the script that is moving our "ants" around and stopping them at the food source. The next step of the process is to have them start to return to back to the "colony"

I posted another view of the an animation that is in plan view so that it is easier to see how the spheres are moving
