Lee Griggs shows how to create wild procedural art using Strands-Around-Strands in Bifrost instantly.

In Bifrost, you can generate lines and patterns using instancing, fields, and a scope. You can also extrude the results of the scope strands into geometry. Here, Autodesk’s Arnold Rendering Specialist Lee Griggs shows how to create highly detailed work using strands in Bifrsot, particularly the Strands-Around-Strands compound.

The strands-around-strands compound can easily create these wild-looking procedural effects like pipes, tentacles, and rock-like towers.

In a similar example, Griggs showed how to create crazy bead patterns procedurally in Bifrost with Point Spheres, Fields, and Arnold to render the thing with a macro-photography look. Visit that tutorial here.
