Method
Performs reaction-diffusion simulation, using an image input as a seed.
This node simulates the Gray-Scott reaction-diffusion process, which can be thought of as a kind of fluid simulation with an extra step that creates organic-like patterns which grow out from seed points. Those points are created by sampling an input image, and seeds are created at the brighter parts of the image.

Transform
Name | Description |
---|---|
Position X | Move its position along the x-axis in local space. |
Position Y | Move its position along the y-axis in local space. |
Position Z | Move its position along the z-axis in local space. |
Rotation Heading | Rotate the object about the y-axis. |
Rotation Pitch | Rotate the object about the x-axis. |
Rotation Bank | Rotate the object about the z-axis. |
Scale X | Scale along the x-axis. |
Scale Y | Scale along the y-axis. |
Scale Z | Scale along the z-axis. |
