Threadbourne: K - Means Clustering + Embroiderry FX

A deep dive into procedural art meets machine learning logic.
I built a K-Means clustering system from scratch in Houdini that takes any vector image and automatically creates visually distinct clusters — just like K-Means does in data science.

Then I transformed those clusters into a procedural embroidery pattern and rendered the results with a stylised finish.

Big thanks to @rebelwayvfx and instructor Aaron Smith — their solid foundation helped me design the logic behind this approach.
