Abstract
This paper describes an evolutionary process which produces dynamic biologic-like patterns. Simulation and visualization of the development of cell populations has many applications. For example, developmental biology and computer graphics. Physically-based particle models are efficient to simulate the dynamical behavior of real life objects. In this article, we propose to model the growth of a biologic tissue using sets of interacting physically-based particles to represent cells, which ad interact to form a tissue.
