More important, you really feel like like eating the fractal texture, it's fun O0 Title: Re: I had fractals for lunch (Romanesco cabbage) Post by: matsoljare on February 18, 2009, 03:48:57 PM Now here's a challange... can anyone manage to "reverse engineer" the Romanesco shhape into a proper 3d fractal? There's some Julia set which looks a lot like it, but it's 2d, and it would be interesting to see if someone can nail the full 3d structure!

I believe Garth Thornton created one using his program XenoDream (http://www.XenoDream.com/), but at the moment I can not find the link to it. I will see if I can locate it later on when I have a few more spare minutes.

I think this comes a little bit closer...its from Incendiascript, a new feature of Incendia 1.2.x. Script written by program author Aexion; all I did was add color and render. http://www.fractalforums.com/gallery/?sa=view;id=607 Title: Re: I had fractals for lunch (Romanesco cabbage) Post by: Cyclops on August 31, 2009, 02:50:29 PM Food for thought eh!

If one were to take high resolution time-lapse photographs of growing Romanesco broccoli, would it be possible to calculate the in vivo growth rate of the plant cells using the best-fitting formula for mathematical Romanesco? Let us suppose we can capture detail down to the diffraction limit of optical microscopy (~0.2µm, disregard that you actually can see the cells dividing at this magnification). Alternatively, given the time-lapse growth data, could you derive a formula for the shape of Romanesco assuming 1 iteration = 1 cell division cycle?
