Alien Bonsais by Chaotic Atmospheres

What I admire about this project are the organic structures, shapes, etc. created to as an inorganic iteration of a bonsai tree. In a way, Chaotic Atmospheres is creating a sculpture on the bonsai tree digitally which would be too difficult to manifest physically on a real, living organism. Thus, that makes the shapes created in relation to the tree a true “alien” visual. What I know of the algorithms used for this project is that the artist used a 3D software called Substance Designers which he embedded onto his own digital trees to create the alien texturing of his bonsais. His artistic sensibilities were utilized in the organization of constructing the digital trees and altering the tones, color, shapes, sizing, movement, etc. of the product so that the image was cohesive and aesthetically intriguing.
