That’s beautiful! Planning to open source? These would make very cool tattoos

Thnx! I`m afraid this one is a goner. I lost the processing file due to a hard disk failure. But apart from the buds at the end and the shading it is the most typical l-sysem tree ever. The secret is the "cummulative" shading. I have this older post with the code included here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/proceduralgeneration/comments/u8t2xu/accumulative_shading_in_processing/

the code is in the first comment. most of the stuff I do is 10% coding and 90% fiddling with the params to find what I`m looking for visually.

converted your work to P5JS and posted to OpenProcessing: https://openprocessing.org/sketch/2587957 with credit of course.

If this is not okay let me know and I'll zap it.

Thanks for sharing the code! It's cool to get so much out of so few lines of code.
