Infinite Cosmos

A design workflow connecting Rhino, Grasshopper, Processing, and ComfyUI

Beginning with multiverses and future worldviews, this project links parametric geometry, particle interaction, and generative moving images. Organic forms and mechanical structures combine into a hybrid ecology, where possible timelines support one another and continually grow and transform.

Multiverse and design process

What spatial forms emerge when different timelines grow at once?

The project draws on multiverses and future worldviews. Layered scenes, organic forms, and multidimensional Voronoi structures combine into a hybrid space. Geometric modules introduce order, tentacles and roots extend outward, and red alien constructions disrupt stable boundaries. Vine-like branches represent possible timelines that intertwine and support the world.

01 / Grasshopper
Generate modules
WASP, Cocoon, and WeaverBird generate aggregating modules, organic tentacles, and alien structures.
02 / Rhino
Assemble the space
Interweave structures of different scales and types into a layered hybrid ecology.
03 / Processing
Introduce motion
Convert the OBJ model into a point cloud with growing trails and interactive local bursts.
04 / ComfyUI
Evolve the images
Use frames from the interaction in image-to-image and image-to-video workflows to develop alternative future worlds.

Parametric form generation

Three complementary families of structure form the space. Each study connects its parametric definition, model view, and generated form before integration into the overall scene.

01 / WASP · Infinite geometric modules

Repeatable units aggregate into a spatial framework, creating continuity through combination and layering.

Complete WASP study: parametric definition, red module model, and white aggregated form

02 / Cocoon · Organic tentacles

Branches and curves become continuous organic surfaces with a biological, tentacle-like character.

03 / WeaverBird · Alien constructions

Mesh operations create openings and faceted boundaries, bringing mechanical order together with altered organic forms.

Hybrid ecological space

Rhino combines the three module families into an interwoven biological and mechanical space. White structures create continuity, while red nodes emphasise alien constructions. Roots and vines bridge gaps between modules, connecting separate forms into one ecology.

Particles, vines, and bursts

The model is exported as OBJ and sampled into a point cloud in Processing. Growing trails move from the spatial boundary toward the model, forming intertwined vines. A right click pushes nearby particles outward in red and blue bursts; they then return toward their original positions. Static geometry becomes a responsive system that can be disturbed and recover.

Generative image workflow

From interaction frames to generated images

Frames from the Processing video enter an image-to-image workflow in ComfyUI. Stable Diffusion develops richer materials, colours, and spatial details from the existing point-cloud and trail composition, evolving abstract interactive frames into visions of future worlds.

From generated images to a moving cosmos

An image-to-video workflow turns the generated images into flowing, expanding moving images. Model loading, image input, video generation, and output form a connected sequence, carrying the parametric space into another medium.

Evolving future worlds

The same spatial structure develops different energies, densities, and colours across generated outcomes. Particle trails serve both as a formal framework and as cues for image evolution: from geometric model to responsive system to a changing cosmic landscape.
