Flight Simulation of Butterflies and Hypothetical Morphology

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce our project for "hypothetical virtual butterfly", of which flight simulation of butterflies with hypothetical aesthetic morphologies, and field work which we have done with that simulation process. Furthermore we describe making process of sculptures as an application of real form from drawing sketches. The process to integrate aesthetic hypothetical design materials with physical simulation will be useful for not only butterflies but also any other hypothetical things.
