Forsythia

Hey me too. I used to be deeply involved in a procedural art project. https://github.com/johnalexandergreene/Forsythia/tree/master... Then the project sorta met its natural end, and then I sorta moved on

A kisrhombille-ish shape-grammar based l-systemly 2d geometry building system. For pretty pictures or whatever. https://github.com/johnalexandergreene/Geom_Kisrhombille https://github.com/johnalexandergreene/Forsythia/tree/master...

There is a tool https://github.com/johnalexandergreene/Forsythia/tree/master...

Clickable links so you don't have to fight with atrocious copy-and-paste UX on mobile: https://github.com/johnalexandergreene/Geom_Kisrhombille/blo... https://github.com/johnalexandergreene/Forsythia/tree/master... http://www.fleen.org/

wow if you get this [1] and run it like this: java -jar FleenForsythiaGrammarEditor_V2017_04_22.jar you can actually edit models with the grammar and plot them in java on a local machine. A bit unintuitive at first grab, but definitely looks worth getting to understand because it makes brilliant patterns suggesting all kinds of structures... and many more images here: http://www.fleen.org/image_gallery/index.php and a short artpiece made with it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=xoa3...

The shape languages are called "Shape Grammars" The fancy geometry is called "Kisrhombille Tessellation" You make languages out of shapes and then the shapes interact to create complex shapes, the whole process guided by code. They're fractals. Infinite. And as customizable as code. It's a geometry programming technology. --- Here's an overview of the geometry. https://github.com/johnalexandergreene/Geom_Kisrhombille/blob/master/README.md --- Here's a tool for making your own custom grammars (it's easy) and looking at pretty pictures. https://github.com/johnalexandergreene/Forsythia/tree/master/app/grammarEditor There's a README there. It provides a little overview and explains the UI. There's also a video walkthrough that shows you how to make a simple grammar. --- Here's the main project. Much pictures and videos.
