- The page names diffusion-limited aggregation and says results are checked against reference results from research papers.
Field notes
The catalogue is organized around host application and task, with a three-question finder intended to narrow the options to a user's pipeline. The page describes procedural, reproducible results and says its accuracy checks use published research references. It lists C++ SDK and C# for performance-sensitive work, with MAXScript or Python for artist control; the first releases are described as coming soon.
