In this video, we will be creating a script that generates an animation using the phyllotaxis pattern.
We will be animating the Strength property of the Emission nodes and the Camera Focus Distance.

Based on a phyllotaxis pattern created by formula 4.1 from
http://algorithmicbotany.org/papers/abop/abop-ch4.pdf

Inspired by Dan Shiffman’s Coding Challenge #30: Phyllotaxis
