Acrobatic and Possessed Trees - Evolved Virtual Creatures

These two creatures are from a population evolved using 3DVCE. The first is another in the growing list of tree-shaped creatures that dance in interesting ways but have no consistent direction of motion. The second is a very poor performer, but has a strange type of movement that is fun to watch (some kind of branch-wiggling motion triggered by the contact sensors).

Both creatures were evolved and kindly sent in by Nathanael Plapp.

He stoped moving his legs when you lifted him of the ground :O

[kjlg74]

You're right. All its movements seem to be triggered by its contact sensor (which don't fire when they're not in contact with the ground).

[Cimbolic]

Man, this guy knows how to move!

He dances.

[kjlg74]

:D the second one though.. looks a little too tired and agitated for dancing

[Cimbolic]

Nope. He's dancing!
