In this project, as in many others, I was given the task of developing a pattern based on the idea of directed randomness.  The pattern needed to have a locally random nature but respond to more global influences.  In addition, the clusters of repetition that occur in random patterns were unacceptable.  To achieve all this I developed a tool which adjusted value ranges based off of distance from some test geometry (the global behavior), kept track of and responded to already built geometry (to avoid repetition) and which the user was able to refine as he wished.  The result was a detailed 3D model.  All coding in Rhinoscript.  Documentation in Illustrator.
