By using the rules that lie behind animal swarms a simulation of steering behaviors for autonomous agents is executed through processing.

This particular simulation is a representation of a type of growing architecture, where autonomous skizoïd machines use their trajectories as paths for secretion. Their trajectories materialize and bio-mimic a structure organic in appearance.

Please feel free to view a set of still images extracted from the processing sketch:

v3

Using a particle to motion MEL script I begun testing on the notion of a growing  structure that appears to be constructing itself. Using particles to animate a swarm a script is introduced to leave a curve to represent their trajectories. These curves become paths for secretion-Autonomous machines create growth of a type of architecture.

Using Maya MEL scripting I have managed to swarm 50 autonomous agents. Their trajectories are animated to show a possible path for secretion. These links shows animation stills and the entire animation in different views:
