To create these models I researched L-Systems, and was intrigued by using the generational code to create a “landscape” After mapping out my L-System with my chosen rule set, I assigned a value to each corresponding piece of combination of pieces of the code. When creating the models, I chose to create an ‘L-System Navigator’ which would follow the code, and when a certain combination of code was reached it would split, one side would continue the path, the other would move to the next generation and continue.
