Ever felt the need to have an infinite supply of cow pattern textures ?
This project was inspired by The leopard never changes its spots, a SIGGRAPH 2020 paper by Malheiros, Marcelo de G. and Fensterseifer, Henrique and Walter, Marcelo. This paper uses a reaction-diffusion model to approximate tissue growth, and successfully generates a few 2D patterns matching real species. This repository aims to adapt this model to generate cow patterns, which were not covered in the original article.
In \python, we provide a python notebook that generates such textures with varying input parameters. To generate your own textures, open this notebook and run all the cells.
Let's use libigl to see what our texture looks like on a real cow. To build and run, use:
git submodule update --init
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make cow
./cow
