Yet again fighting my university's farm, I managed to produce something:

Day 13 - Slime

I don't even know what's going on with this one

My entry for today

Jurassic Slime

Day13!

My entry for Slime:

The theme is “slime”… Coincidentally, that was the theme for one of the first game jams I ever entered.

This is a start on a publicity still for the (still somewhat unfinished) game.

I was originally going to actually try to implement the game using Houdini scripting, but I can't figure out (yet!) how to get something useful out of the gamepad chop…

The first attachment (-4.png) is the one I got rendered before the daily deadline. The second is a higher quality render that I ran after I messed with it a bit more, just before giving up at 0200 in the morning. So, if you're considering this entry for the daily prize, please be sure to evaluate only the first attachment! ; - )

Day 13: Slime

The slime… it's alive!

The slime is alive! This was a fun one

Birth of a Squab

Edit: Attached HIP files for the community.
Extras used: Octane Render.

a sad attempt today

Totally spaced and missed the cutoff by 12 mins

Day 13 Animals Slime

Looks more like a blanket but you get the point haha

update

Had a play with physarum
I had fun trying out different values for the parameters and see what patterns it makes. When the turn angle and search angle become too big, it becomes pure noise. Before that, it makes a branch like pattern, at some point it also becomes a circle node like pattern.

Quick one

There's a slug infestation in the forest! (They all seem to go up the tree too…)
