Fully procedural mineral 04 / Fibrous Malachite
4th Mineral procedural study : Fibrous Malachite
The complex structure linking the cristal and fiber was challenging to setup but a lot of fun to make. Learned a lot about hair to interpolate the different curves among crystals and generate that fiber layer.

Using my crystal tool/setup to generate crystal variations
Crystal scattering based on attributes
generated into the rock.
Generating main fibers inbetween crystal positions. Fibers had to be attracted by crystals and have some growing in their directions.
Generating hair guides based on the fiber curves.
