Povray Lsystem 3D Gallery 1 |
|
While the 2D Lsystem is quite easy to use the 3D Lsystem can sometimes produce a nice headache. So trial and error is the motto when working with it and ... patience. Let's again start with some Koch curves using the 'not yet' official version of Tor Olav Kristensen's wonderful Lsystem 3D for Povray. [P&H] described a method to generate a 3D structure from a 2D curve (p. 29, fig. 2.13). I used this method here. |

My 'Koch-Cube-Cheat' |

|
As I couldn't figure out how to generate the cube using the Lsystem ... 5 sides => okay 6th side => no way |
Koch's 'Magic Box' |
... I produced an inc-file from the 2D Koch curve with all the spheres and cylinders and voila ... the cube |

My challenge: create the shape below with Lsystem 3D for Povray |

|
Looks simple but it took me HOURS! |
Hilbert's 'Toy as a Boy' |
And I am still not too happy with the axiom and the rules |
|
Thomas de Groot created something similar and called it 'Illusion Box' ... |
'Illusion Sphere' |
... here is my version |
|
Let's use Hilbert's Toy: |

'Hilbert's Construction Set1' |
|
LS3D_Hilbert_SGI_1b |
right side: my objects |
'Hilbert's Construction Set2' |
