080117_Vertical Proliferation

The code consists in a vertical extrusion of planar closed curves; each curve rotates a certain degree every level; the coordinates of the control points defining each curve are variable; some are also following a path determined by a sine function.
We are currently looking into some improvement of this -rather simple- algorhythm. More soon.
