LUNA: A NOVEL WORKFLOW FOR DYNAMIC PROCEDURAL MODELING

Abstract
LUNA is a visual language for dynamic procedural modeling. Built as a custom graph-based scene language, LUNA adopts a tile metaphor to enable rapid experimentation with dynamic geometric operators. The data flowing through the LUNA graph consists of multimedia objects such as images, meshes, geometric instances, sounds and text. Luna was developed as a dissertation on the benefits and limitations of creativity support tools in computer graphics and media arts.

Hi,
I would like to know if the code for Luna is available somewhere. I would be very curious to look at the implementation.
Thank you very much,
Giacomo
Hi Giacomo,
Thanks for your interest, but I am continuing to develop Luna for research projects currently and the software is not available. I may release it in stages at a future point.
Best, Rama
