Great resource. If you're into it, make sure to check out the "The Algorithmic Beauty of..." series of books. There are three: - The Algorithmic Beauty of Plants - this is the original one. Fascinating read - one of the authors creates a rule system (L-system, now fairly well known in the procedural generation world) that allows for the generation of plant like organisms. Other approaches are presented, the prose and illustrations are wonderful. This one is a must have - a beautiful example of what can be accomplished when mixing math, natural sciences, computation, art, and design. - The Algorithmic Beauty of Sea Shells - this one is very good too. If you've wondered how sea shells can have almost perfect checkerboard patterns and so on, this is the book for you. Highly recommended. - The Algorithmic Beauty of Seaweeds, Sponges, and Corals. My least favorite of the three - some of the content overlaps from TABO Plants - but that's only because the other 2 are so good. If you have interest in the matter, you probably want to read it as well.
