Graphical modeling of plant growth using Lindenmayer System

http://itp.nyu.edu/~mfm317/noc/final/final.html

Rama is a processing application that uses stochastic L-systems to generate a plant growth simulation that resemble hand made botanically precise illustrations.


Inspired by observations from botanical illustrations the projects aims to create a visualization of a natural process that is focus on the aesthetic of the representation with certain level of abstraction and not in a hyperrealist render.


Lindenmayer systems (L-systems) are mathematical descriptions of plant development that are used for generating realistic images of plants.
My research is goal is the implemantation of stochastic L-systems in processing.
