Hi Andrei,

We've added some info about the turtle component:
http://morphocode.com/rabbit-l-systems/

You can also have a look at the resources that we've listed on that page

Hope that helps

hey, guys, where can i find out how to use the turtle component? i don't really know what that F and X are and how they are used. i couldn't find any reference. i did figure out some stuff just by experimenting, but i would like to know everything about it.

thanks!

Hi.

Is it possible to set up a determined initial condition with rabbit and evolving from there? I cant seem to manage as it is but maybe im missing something? For example being able to feed a boolean list to create a CA module.

Thanks and good work,

M

Hi Ivan,

There is a way to create that kind of the geometry with RABBIT

This could be achieved with Parametric LSystems, where you could have a special parameter/expression which instructs the "turtle" on what radius/thickness to use when drawing a pipe/line

For ex the following instructions:
F(5) F(10) +(30) F(20)
mean:
Draw Forward a line with thickness 5
Draw Forward a line with thickness 10
Turn right by angle of 30 degrees
Draw Forward a line with thickness 20

You could specify the rules of the LSystem using parameters
F(thickness)=F(thickness/2)

so on every new iteration the turtle will draw a line with half the thickness of the previous iteration

That's the idea

hey cool
does it only like, piping the geometry or ist there a way, to somehow generate kind of lowpoly geometry of that L-system, lets say like in a 3d-trees generating software, were the trunk is thinker and going up the branches grow thinner??
you know it will be amaizing to be able to modell detailed geometry looking like this

cheers
