What plant software is being shown in the animation at the top of the page? I've been hunting for something to simulate plant growth and that looks interesting!

- thinkingemote 11mo agoPlantStudio from 1997-2001 https://www.kurtz-fernhout.com/PlantStudio/screens.htm https://www.kurtz-fernhout.com/PlantStudio/screens.htm PlantStudio Botanical Illustration Software is a tool for creating 3D plant models and 2D illustrations. PlantStudio simulates herbaceous (non-woody) plants like wildflowers and cut flowers, vegetables, weeds, grasses, and herbs using a parameter-driven simulation of plant growth and structure.
- tonyarkles 11mo agoVery cool! I immediately thought of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L-system https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L-system when I saw the original photo.

- vonnieda 11mo agoThank you! The README in the repo was a real joy to read.
- dr_kiszonka 11mo agoRelating it to the OP, github sometimes feels like the original world "wild" web. Sure, wild in the confines of Microsoft's corporate landscape, but I find it more likely to come across something interesting and useful there than on a random blog. (Plus, no pop-ups, newsletter subscriptions, etc.)
- Modified3019 11mo agoYeah it really is. A fantastic overview of where the project is, where is could go, and some humanity.
- dunb 11mo agoOthers have already told you the name of the project, but if you happen to be on Arch, I have a PKGBUILD written for PlantStudio. I haven't published it to the AUR since I don't necessarily want to be the maintainer though. Shoot me an email (in my bio) if you're interested
