A flock of spirals warped on a grid modifier due to classical usage of FinalXForm.

L-studio is Windows software for creating simulation models and performing virtual experiments using L-systems.

It consists of:
* two L-system–based simulators, cpfg and lpfg;
* a set of sample models, primarily of plants, each stored as an L-studio object;
* a graphical browser for organizing and accessing objects on local and remote machines;
* a series of editors and other modeling tools for creating and modifying objects; and
* a library of environmental programs which simulate environmental processes that affect plant development.

Quite classic design: a spiral generated by a quad-fold branch plus a bit of recursive details.
Smoothed and rounded version.

“Calling it a teenage scene
And I have a dream,
Don’t know if I’ll be a star
I’m going to play guitar
I’ve seen this rocking cat
I want to be just like that
… …
We’ll be on our own
Billy Fury on the gramophone
Take you to the pictures and a dance
In my drainpipe pants
Check the mirror and the old DA
And “You can play in a day””
Mark Knopfler, We can get wild

Some recent nature photos I shot during a small trip.

Freestyle design of a bloated pattern due to recursive expansion.

A classical Julia based recursive design.

I’m happy in seeing my own “nimbus 7″ photo featured in the iSGTW (International Science Grid This Week) article about The new Nimbus: first steps in the clouds.
Glad they liked this simple photo!

The Green Bug is a hanging around again.
