Ant Colony Cross-Section

Drag to orbit, scroll to zoom. A cutaway soil block reveals a procedurally branched tunnel network built from recursive Catmull-Rom tube curves, with spherical chambers at branch ends. Ants walk back and forth along the tunnel curves using getPointAt/getTangentAt sampling, some carrying glowing green food particles back to the nest.
