L-System + p5sunflow
Apr 12th, 2010, 5:26am
 
Hello everyone.
I started investigating on the 'art' of making generative graphics with L-Systems.

...
...

Here's a render i did (with p5sunflow) some seconds ago with the following rule at 3rd generation:
[FF-FF]&-F+^[FF]&<--F

I would like to share the Applet on openprocessing, but the code is so bad i first need to understand what I wrote before sharing  Grin

How to do it?
The result is amazing!

I just love those nice sunflow shadows. Great!

@spritehat: try a search about "l-systems" or "p5sunflow", there are several threads that might help.

@spritehat: I agree, despite their apparent simplicty, l-systems often drive to unpredictable, amazing results.

For a brief intro on l-systems you can check this page:

For a 2D processing example you can check this:

For 3D l-systems, this library may help:

To render one frame as above, you need the p5sunflow lib:

Have fun.

I did a quick p5sunflow render of the code in quicktime
