Voronoi Evolution Explained!

We created this animation to show how the mathematics of the Voronoi pattern works in our longer video (Voronoi Evolution: Art. Made. Awesome. • VORONOI EVOLUTION: Art... )
In our project, a series of random points are created within a square space. A first point is generated, and then a second point is added, then a third, and a forth and so on up to 12. Each pattern builds on the previous pattern.
As we show, a line is drawn connecting each of the randomly generated points, and then a cell edge line is drawn perpendicularly through the mid-point of the line. This cell edge line defines an edge of the cell and is extended until it meets other cell edge lines.
The end result is a series of cells, or cubbies in our case that grow in complexity as more random points are generated.
This pattern, inspired by the patterns on dragonfly wings and on giraffe’s fur, is called a Voronoi Tessellation, and was first characterized by Georgy Voronoy in the early 1900’s, but was mentioned by Descartes and others as early as 1644.
For more general information about Voronoi Tessellations, a good place to start is this Wikipedia article (en.wikipedia.o....

came for voronoi, stayed for beats

Ahhh yes of course 🤔I understand completely. Thank you.

You’re welcome 😊 The description of it in Wikipedia is nuts!

This had me truly mystified because my brain expected to see the completed pattern at the end of the explanatory animation for each level, not before. Brains are weird.

Maybe we did that backwards!
