Created by working Hollywood Visual Effects artist Jeff Wolverton.TECHNICAL QUESTIONS & ANSWERS ABOUT CRYSTAL FARM: Q: How are the crystals grown? A: With an algorithm I call GROWIT: it's a diffusion-limited aggregation Laplacian growth algorithm which I extended to be curve-seeded by using Euclidean distance fields via 8SSEDT. (Hey, you asked.) Q: Huh. And are you aware that Kim, Sewell, Lin, et al. published an algorithm that is orders of magnitude faster than diffusion-limited aggregation, and hence much better than yours? A: Um...yeah. Are you aware that I totally don't care? Q: Is that your way of saying you read the Kim & Lin paper, but you were too dumb to figure it out? A: No, that's my way of saying you have a big stupid head. Who ARE you, anyway?
