Hey all,

It's been a minute, as they say, but I'm excited to release the latest video! This one sets up a simulated environment in which creatures and their traits undergo natural selection.

There should also be a smaller delay leading up to the next few videos, since the tool for simulation and related animation (most of the work that went into this video) will be reused a few times.

Thanks for your support and for bearing with me!

Justin

Simulating Natural Selection | Evolution 5

In this video, we avoid telling the creatures what their survival chances are and let them figure it out themselves. Made with Blender and python.
