One of my favorite procedural material nodes is Voronoi. Hiroto also devised a voronoi script for fracturing a plane object. Voronois are abundant throughout nature, from cells and bubbles to giraffes. Well, most giraffes. I have posted several requests over the years requesting more mathematically precise and controllable voronois tools.
Some years ago I was pleasantly surprised by a related discovery about Alan Turing. He was a genius mathematician and computer pioneer who became famous after his death for his central role in Britain’s use of a computer to decipher German military codes in WW II. Demonstrating the extreme range of his scientific contributions, he authored a 1952 paper explaining a mathematical basis for the variety of patterns evident in living things, from animal coats to corals. Similar effects are generated in crystalline ceramic glazes.
