   Do you know if the shells are still intact? Maybe it's an easy way for people to gather lots of diatoms to make more arrangements :)

   Ernst Häckel created some of the most beautiful art ever and a conversation about his work is funnily enough how this whole little diatom post project got started :)

   Exactly. It's like much of the Sand in the world is produced by these things :)

   I've been working on making a little website on diatom arrangements (single celled microscopic algae art pieces) over the last 2-3 days and felt like sharing it. Here's the result :)

   Hi HN, I am trying to build a small game in the browser, but on the way I create little side projects for learning the basics of 3D in the browser. This site is the result of that learning process. It was built with r3f, drei, next.js and s

    also Wikipedia says that this is an open problem. However, with the "citation needed" warning... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L-system#Open_problems:~:text=... .

    I have no idea honestly... One pointer that might be worth exploring, which is not quite L-Systems but might be related is Fractal Compression. I've read that there are algorithms to compress images into a "closest" IFS – ite

    The Computational Beauty of Nature is such a cool book! There is also ABOP - the Algorithmic Beauty of Plants http://algorithmicbotany.org/papers/#abop which has been a huge inspiration for this project.

    This is sadly true and I whole-heartedly agree with you... It's because I didn't find a way to construct only parts of the fractals based on the viewport. Many of the fractals you can see in the garden are generated iteration by i

    Hi HN, in September I built this website, which explores some mesmerizing fractals. The idea behind it is to have a beautiful "garden" that instead of being filled with flowers and plants is filled with magnificent mathematical ob
