Procedual Arches

A procedural system of branches growing into an organic vaulted ceiling. Developed for the 3D/VR short film “Our Earths” to create a utopian interpretation of a future viennese coffee house.

The system was realized using Blender Geometry Nodes. A control mesh drives the resulting arch geometry. Each vertex results in a pillar, each edge in a cross strut connecting two pillars. Pillars can have different levels of detail to optimize for rendering.
