While fractals are really nice, one needs to add in some more interesting elements. I've been working on some L-system based trees recently and the random mutation makes them rather interesting. Going to Otakon eh? Be careful of the rabid fangirls or catgirls! Never know what they'll do. Also, I remember those conventions tend to be a bit of a money sink as things are generally quite expensive.^^ Course, those were the old days. Now everyone does it so perhaps things are cheaper!

(on a side note - Meh Noob and I are going to <a HREF="http://www.otakon.com" rel="nofollow">OTAKON</A> this weekend!! Hit me one time with a Napoleon "Yessssssss!!")

And in artschool I had this teacher who dragged me into fibonacci numbers and the golden section stuff...amazing but at the end ya should free youreself from it because it's merely a tool of construction and has nothing to do with creative modelling the world around you. aah yes, I had a friend who study math and he had his whole room wallpapered with fractal mozaic.

I remember when she first heard about them at a national Mathematicians convention. She started putting fractal images up EVERYWHERE in the house. It's like her modern day Paisleys. Woooooh hooooh!!

Fractals by themselves are interesting and if you add in randomness (aka mutation), it gets more and more character^^ Ultimately, one can create stuff that looks different, but ultimately is the same species of plant. For example, the plants near the bottom of this page: <a href="http://www.acm.org/crossroads/xrds8-2/plantsim.html" title="Plant L systems" rel="nofollow">Simulating Plant Growth using L systems</a>.
