Lindenmayer Systems (L-systems) and
Special Guest
Luke Dubois
This week we featured the work of
Aristid Lindenmayer,
whose book (co-authored with
Przemyslaw Prusinkiewicz,
Prusinkiewicz did the software work)
The Algorithmic Beauty of Plants
(on-line version available
here)
laid out a foundation for a powerful approach to morphological
modeling. Many have found "L-systems", as this approach is called, to be
musically compelling. Special Guest Luke is one of those 'many'.
