Approach
Phyllotaxis is a geometric pattern in which elements are arranged along interwoven spirals generated by a constant divergence angle, often approximating the golden angle (137.5°), resulting in Fibonacci-based spiral structures. With specific code it can be procedurally accessed and easilly changed to other shapes in Houdini.
Thanks to Professor Debroah Fowler, the pyllotaxis code is from her website.
