Octree

An interactive parametric configurator that generates spatial structures using an octree subdivision algorithm. The system recursively divides a 3D volume into eight smaller cells, creating hierarchical patterns that can be visualized either as solid geometry or as structural curve networks.

The configurator allows users to explore how volumetric subdivision evolves across multiple levels of recursion. With each iteration, the main cube is split into eight smaller cubes, forming a layered structure that reveals the underlying spatial hierarchy. This approach is widely used in computational geometry, spatial indexing, procedural modeling, and generative design.

Users can switch between two visualization modes. In solid mode, the octree cells are displayed as volumetric cubes, highlighting the spatial distribution and density of the subdivision. In curve mode, the system extracts the structural edges of the octree, generating a network of lines that reveal the internal framework of the subdivision.

Key parameters allow users to control the complexity and appearance of the structure. Iteration depth determines how many subdivision levels are generated, while scale and spacing parameters influence the overall density and arrangement of the cells.
