Junichiro Horikawa shows how you can create a hyperbolic tiling pattern on a Poincare disk model using Houdini.

A new tutorial from Junichiro Horikawa covers working with algorithms within Side FX Houdini to create a hyperbolic tiling pattern. Junichiro includes the underlying flows for creating a hyperbolic structure and shows how to create the setup in Houdini.

“In this video, I’m showing how you can create a hyperbolic pattern on a Poincare disk model using Houdini,” Junichiro says. “You can also change the position of the initial position of the first polygon to start the tiling.”

Junichiro often mixes art and code in Houdini and previously covers a lot of really cool generative exercises from fractals to visualizing complicated math.
