END OF AN ERA, FRACTALFORUMS.COM IS CONTINUED ON FRACTALFORUMS.ORG

I am not the biggest fan of the graphical node programming but that is more of a personal preference than an objective view.

You can see nodes a lot in Blender or Rhino  - especially if you use the parametric plugins like Sverchok (Blender) or Houdini/Grasshopper (I think)(Rhino).
I am using Sverchok but the moment things get a bit more complicated I find that I loose the overview quite quickly - see attached image.

And in the end if you want to still write the rules without nodes you end up with a lot of connected text boxes and arrows with numbers (for maxdepth and rule after reaching maxdepth)
Not sure that would make it easier to understand in terms of what is going on.

So in my view the graphical nodes are not really an improvement I would be using or looking for.

I was contemplating if the parser and core could be ported to python so you could run eisen scripts directly in Blender giving you access to more rendering options and more basic shapes.
Or implementing more shapes in Structure Synth like cylinders and "squash-able" spheres but so far I didn't really get anywhere with those ideas.

Hope you are still having fun with playing around. There are some quite interesting creations to be found!!!
