From Crystals to Spirals
Initial Design
Created with this scriptstartshape crystals
rule crystals {
crystal { h 81.87 sat 0.8642 b 1.0000 }
crystal { h 81.87 sat 0.8642 b 1.0000 r 90}
crystal { h 81.87 sat 0.8642 b 1.0000 r 180}
crystal { h 81.87 sat 0.8642 b 1.0000 r 270}
}
rule crystal {
blob {}
crystal {s 0.5 y 0.75}
crystal {s 0.5 x 0.75}
}
rule blob {
SQUARE {}
blob {s 0.9 b - 0.1 r 5}
}
Add an extra layer of recursion
startshape gem
rule gem{
crystals {}
gem { s 0.8 r 10 }
}
rule crystals {
crystal { h 81.87 sat 0.8642 b 1.0000 }
crystal { h 81.87 sat 0.8642 b 1.0000 r 90}
crystal { h 81.87 sat 0.8642 b 1.0000 r 180}
crystal { h 81.87 sat 0.8642 b 1.0000 r 270}
}
rule crystal {
blob {}
crystal {s 0.5 y 0.75}
crystal {s 0.5 x 0.75}
}
rule blob {
SQUARE {}
blob {s 0.9 b - 0.1 r 5}
}
Or with this change create a spiral effect
startshape gems
rule gems{
8 * {r 45} gem {}
}
rule gem{
crystals {}
gem { s 0.8 r 10 x 2.5}
}
rule crystals {
crystal { h 81.87 sat 0.8642 b 1.0000 }
crystal { h 81.87 sat 0.8642 b 1.0000 r 90}
crystal { h 81.87 sat 0.8642 b 1.0000 r 180}
crystal { h 81.87 sat 0.8642 b 1.0000 r 270}
}
rule crystal {
blob {}
crystal {s 0.5 y 0.75}
crystal {s 0.5 x 0.75}
}
rule blob {
SQUARE {}
blob {s 0.9 b - 0.1 r 5}
}
Finally add some colour and change the angle
startshape gems
rule gems{
8 * {r 45} gem {h 81.87 sat 0.8642 b 1.0000}
}
rule gem{
crystals {}
gem { s 0.8 r 25 x 2.5 h +25}
}
rule crystals {
crystal { }
crystal { r 90}
crystal { r 180}
crystal { r 270}
}
rule crystal {
blob {}
crystal {s 0.5 y 0.75}
crystal {s 0.5 x 0.75}
}
rule blob {
SQUARE {}
blob {s 0.9 b - 0.1 r 5}
}
