L-Systems
Introduction
How to create L-Systems – Houdini Kitchen [↗]
Better people than I have worked to define and explain L-Systems, please browse the project links above for more in-depth explanations. Short answer: L-Systems are applied turtle graphics.
Version 2
Github Repo [↗]
A newer version that includes forward animation and adjustable animation controls. The basic controls are:
- Load a curve with the button at the top left
- Render it with the button at the bottom middle.
Here are some interesting visualizations you can use by referring to the “Houdini’s Kitchen” above
Version 1
A older Lsystem interface. It’s not my favorite but it has a few interesting features:
- Depth Control
- Fancier Animation Playback
Ultimately both of these things are unnecessary - the newer version is simpler while still providing most of the same functionality.
