Thanks to the research in "gTangle: a grammar for the procedural generation of tangle patterns" by Christian Santoni and Fabio Pellacini, I'm working on a user-friendly Houdini digital asset to generate tangle patterns on 3D models.

It's still in the early stages. I'm planning to support more patterns and different materials.
