Aurora — Painterly Behaviours Plugin (WIP Release)

Overview
Sculpt geometry interactively with Aurora's agent co-pilot.
Embed brushable behaviours that autonomously grow, adjust, and refine your mesh in real time as you guide the process. The agentic design process becomes a negotiation with the simulation to generate complex and intricate forms.

| Research

This software is part of my PhD thesis Painterly Forms at RMIT Architecture supervised by Prof. Roland Snooks & Prof. Vivian Mitsogianni.

Development of the software aligns with key research projects in the RMIT Architecture | Tectonic Formation Lab

This research builds on the concepts of Behavioral Formation by Prof. Roland Snooks and Enactive Design by Dr. Jose Luis García del Castillo.
