I put Voronoi on your Voronoi so you can Voronoi your Voronoi (and it’s sick)

We had a wonderful workshop building gyroids with students at Auburn University. It turns out the desire to wear a gyroid is universal

Tonight on stream we'll be the the Large Marbling Infinity Puzzle. It's a tiling puzzle made in collaboration with @amandaghassaei.bsky.social using a simulation of paper marbling she created. At 363 piece, it should be one of the harder puzzles we've done. Join us at 7:30PM EST

Since we don't know really know how to work with color, the colors in our Agate and Geode puzzles are pulled from photos [@nervous_jessica](https://mastodon.social/@nervous_jessica ) has taken. Each ring has a color based on the little red dot that wanders around the image on the right. The position of the dot is just a noise function with time as a coordinate. The Agate first grows outward creating a shape, and then flips and grows inward filling it in with noisy offsets.

Day 7: Your microscopic alien rocketship is ready for take off
We now have 33 of these to make for our Patreon so this is going to go on for a while.

Day 6: experimented with not fully washing off uncured resin. Makes it much more optically clear. You can see some lensing effects around my fingers.

My aspiration for a daily radiolarian update was almost thwarted by being in the ER all morning, but I have persevered!
Radiolarian 2 varies the distribution of spikes. While the first one on the left has a power law distribution, today’s on the right has what I’m calling blue noise spikes

We’re printing a unique radiolarian every day for the next 20 days. Each one is computationally generated. We’ll see how they evolve over the days.
Once the collection is done they will go out to our Patreon supporters. https://www.patreon.com/nervoussystem
