Utilisating Maya nParticales - converting to polygon surfaces As the tales are told, from fragmented accounts, puzzled together; not much is known about the Great Old One species. Some recent notes have been added to this mysterious body of knowledge, yet these descriptions appear to contradict information from the most trusted historical descriptions. Most sources suggest Cthulhu has cosmic origins and that he is a descendant of Yog-Sothoth, possibly born on Vhool, in the 23rd Nebula. As it stands, Cthulhu the Wise, is a great power. He is feared by prehistoric earth civilisations. The last known It is said that at the appropriate time, the secret priests would take great Cthulhu from his tomb and to revive their subjects and resume rule of earth. Yet this is not the case at all. As we will see soon, Cthulhu left a great gift to the world. Once his langauge was finally decoded vast amounts of his great literary work became accessable.

STRUCTURAL FRAME DEVELOPMENT CAD models show two successful iterations from a generative GH process. Weaverbird definitions such as window frames and Cat Mull Clark subdivision are predominantly used throughout this dewvelopment stage - transforming a wire mesh into a structural frame.

Triangular mesh provides structural properties. Once formed, mesh geometry is bought back into Grasshopper where Grasshopper is used to manipulate mesh edges.

INTERIOR PERSPECTIVE: An important moment where residents of R’lyeh II hold council for discussion and recognition of the amazing STRANGLER VINE. This incredible characteristics of this bio-type for environmental adaptaion is the very reason they were able to survive rising sea-levels, offering hyper-responsive architecture. The sample they have before them is a grafted hybrid of the CRAWLER VINE that that was offered to them by CTHULHU The Wise. The story is now being told of the Floating Sea Vine Micro-city... shhh listen.
