This L-System Tree research project investigates the growth of Cherry Blossom trees through time, as well as the distinct patterns and laws that the branches follow (over time while growing)

This project investigates whirlpool formations, including their origins and evolution over time.
Bioluminescent Algae showcases how algae can be activated through the use of the software Houdini. The project showcases an object activating algae and a wave activating algae through short videos.
This project investigates weather patterns forming to create a tornado as well as the forces that the tornado exerts on objects around it.
This project is a digital simulation made in Houdini using particles to model the effectiveness of cloth masks at blocking COVID-19 in human breath.
We started this research together, but because we were in different geographical locations, we opted to look into two different aspects of the same topic: vortex force manipulation.
One of us decided to work on tornadoes, while the other focused on whirlpools.
"When I was working on creating whirlpools, I wanted to add waves to make the experience more realistic for the viewer, but when I did, the waves kept interfering with the main whirlpool. Ultimately I wasn't able to overcome this issue in time, but it taught me a lot about Houdini and using tanks in Houdini as I experimented with different nodes and tanks" - Rajveer
There were other other difficulties in getting both projects to render and come together, but thankfully we both were able to make something we were proud of.
Genetic Generation visualizes the genetics of cats by procedurally generating cats in Houdini, a procedural modeling software. Cats have their traits defined by the genotype and phenotype of their parents. Different traits are more or less likely to be passed down and to exist with each other. In Houdini, we created the cats and created and colored areas within them to scatter and add variation to them. Going forward, we would add more detail to the way cats are colored and create a better ordering system for generations. We would also add more detail to each cat to create more traits for each one.
This project contains 2 sub-sections under the study of vortex force manipulation
One studies weather patterns forming to create a tornado as well as the forces that the tornado exerts on objects around it.
The second investigates whirlpool formations, including their origins and evolution over time.
I began my project by working on Bismuth crystals with a partner, but because I was working remotely, the coaches decided that the best way for both of us to learn at our own paces would be by working individually
I had approximately a day remaining in the studio, so I started thinking about what I could do for this feedback project. During this studio, I recall spending a lot of time with trees and nature, and I was always curious about how they grew. As a result, this seemed like an excellent opportunity to do just that.
The journey was chaotic as I rushed to accomplish all of my work; there were a lot of moving elements, but I was able to complete everything by the conclusion. The end result was interesting, but I think what was even more fascinating was learning about how trees grow. Now, whenever I look at trees, I'm always captivated by the many patterns.
