Procedural Growing Neuron Fractal for Blender (Geometry Nodes)
Grow neuron-like structures with the Neuron Fractal nodegroup for Blender. Create beautiful animations using the "Grow" slider, enabling you to grow the entire shape in a natural way. The nodegroup includes a bunch of sliders, making the shape highly customizable. Go for crazy amounts detail, because you're able to add as many iterations as you want!
The shape is grown from a base 3D 16x16 grid. You are of course able to make your own grid if you´d like. Iterations are made by instancing another neuron fractal on the endpoints, this is selectable in the nodegroup. Animations are made by growing each iteration individually; a sample animation will be included in the .blend file.
This nodetree was made for the animated short MECHAFLORA.

This pack includes 2 similar nodegroups. One is faster and has cleaner topology, the other is slower but is one continuous mesh. Materials shown in the cover are also included, as well as the base 16x16 grid mesh.
