Hello, Good Day, nice of you to join the conversation I have a question to pose and a topic to discuss What is the best code to build not a pentagonal dodecahedron, but a soap bubble space where bubbles can be created, co exist and join other bubbles, in a gravity free zone where soap film is an ideal thickness and all bubbles seek a least surface area to volume ratio, while maintaining their individuality ANY and ALL ideas WELCOMED and ENCOURAGED *I say zero gravity to make things simpler, but there could be gravity if that is what it takes *I say seak least surface area to volume because I see that as an option for finding the shapes that the bubbles take *The question I am posing is more shape related than shader, material, rainbow related, if you render difference clouds in Gimp or smoke material in 3dsmax then fiddle around with the colors for a few minutes you get a pretty decent soap bubble representation, this is good enough for me, on a sphere with random rotation it'd look pretty good, i'm not sure how you'd make that work with a not round bubble ALSO CHECK THIS OUT http://graphics.ucsd.edu/~iman/SoapBubbles/soap_bubbles_2.pdf Here is a story Seeking the Least: Hey bra I got all this gasious volume inside me an its really stretchn on my awesome surface tension, i see you too have heaps of gas up in ya, wanna work(term work is not being used in a physics sense here) together and share some surface area, we can relieve a bit of this tension, ah sure sounds epic bub... and it was good and great and certainly epic the end.... minutes later... bub and les were joind by more bubbles and they formed a happy family ("cluster" if you will). IDEALLY the code would be something that could be ran on a website
