Freelance Project.  
The client provided the sculpted geometry, the Persian word “Haras” meaning Fear, and wanted a geometry nodes system which would use custom starting points to grow and shape the final result.  
The idea was simple yet quite tricky, covert mesh to volume, volume to points and then back yet the first system I created was more than three times Slower, Larger in Cache and took way to long to bake and with some adjustment, using more data I was able to cut a few unnecessary computations and make it much more optimized which gave the same result as well.

هرس؟  
(haras?)

(i’m curious if I’m parsing the calligraphy correctly.)

Thank you for sharing these somber artworks.

you missed one word  
its: “هراس”  
to be honest, in the artwork its written in a way that is quite hard to read for even the natives.  
I mean calligraphy is hard to read in any language, yet it it beautiful and captivating.

Thank you for the correction. 🙂 I struggled more with this one than the other.

One of my treasured books is [Arabic Script](https://www.amazon.com/Arabic-Script-Variants-Calligraphic-Adaptations/dp/0789207109/ref=sr_1_1?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Ox11z5fntdwLFlLL5X_Z3YvpaiLcIv71776wEOLxaI4.JYAa9f1BW3TRHzzBhvvdDnOKHBbBFfGc0O8aQttJpd8&dib_tag=se) by Gabriel Mandel Khan, a deep but approachable survey of this calligraphy. I can’t speak or read Farsi, Arabic, Ottoman-Turkic, or Urdu, but I so enjoy trying to parse this unique and special art-form.

Thank you for sharing these.
