Geraldine Sarmiento and Leif Krinkle Dragon Curve This project is an extension of my thesis, "Transitions in L-systems". The process of working with L-systems in the medium of OpenGL is documented below. Most of the images shown are generated from the dragon curve L-system. The dragon curve was the primary focus of this study, but other L-systems such as spiral and gosper L-systems were used as well. Here are some links I found with information about the dragon curve:
Dragon Curve Axiom and Rules: Axiom: FX This was the outline of studies performed 1. Experiment with OpenGL Geometric Drawing Primitives:
GL_Trianges, GL_Quads, GL_Polygons

Importing 3d objects and mapping their attributes(location, scale, orientation) to strings These images were modeled in Maya and then exported as objs for use in OpenGL.
|
||
Playing with Textures, Lighting and Color Texture images, opacity and lighting were explored in the creation of these images.

Application of Forces onto L-systems Saving Locations to an ArrayList This is a dragon curve drawing from an arraylist of points. Once the L-systems draw from locations saved onto an ArrayList, forces may now be applied to affect their positions as they grow.
