Hi,

I am currently involved in modeling of natural trees. I have used Honda's i-model for that purpose and ended up with good results. I would love to extend my work in this field. I have tried to model trees using L-systems but gave up due to complexity of algorithm. Has anyone interested or have done modelling trees? embarrass

That's neat, the first fractal I posted was a tree grin

I have found that Apophysis is a great program for making trees.  I've made multiple trees with this program and you really don't have to mess with any algorithms.

Here is my first tree smiley:

Hey BrutalToad. Nice work... wink

I have used MatLab to create the fractals. I have never used Apophysis. Thnx for the tip.  Azn

Am working on a formula for Ultra Fractal to do this using escape-time LRRIFS (language restricted recurrent IFS), early results:

I haven't released the code yet - I was working on it when Daniel White and Paul Nylander introduced us all to the Mandelbulb so working on the transformation of primitives got shelved - I will be going back to it eventually smiley

I guess, with the newer discovered kaleidoscopic objects, this will get a boost in appearence?

At the moment the code I was developing for IFS trees using primitives is using Hart's method for rendering because (for purely affine objects) that is magnitudes faster than using distance estimation, I suppose it's possible to do IFS trees using the distance estimation method but I wasn't thinking of trying that any time soon.
When I say "magnitudes faster" I'm talking about 10 to 20 times faster - for instance the latest (unreleased) version of my code using Hart's method renders the Menger Sponge @640*480 in 4.5 seconds flat on this ancient 3GHz P4HT (compared to over a minute for the Menger at the same size using DE methods).
I should add that even the released version of mmf4.ufm:3D IFS renders the default Menger in just 13.2 secs on this system.

I see.
Well, I thought of generally possible shapes and not of speed smiley

Ah, but I suspect your system is a little faster than mine wink

I'm not so sure about that...
I didn't find out what I did but something seriously slows down my computer. With the exact same specs, the exact same program usually performs better for others than it does for me...

I run a 3 GHz Pentium D and 1,25 GB RAM... There surely are better systems than that wink

The 2GHz Pentium D (Dell Optiplex) we have at work is more than twice as fast as this 3GHz P4HT wink
