I have finished implementing a sun arch. The influence off direct light versus indirect light has an impact on the plant growth. This is a simplified representation of plants in nature where different species have adapted to growing in direct sunlight or shade. Figure 1 shows different results depending on the rotation of the sun arch and the influence of the sun. The light brown mesh represents a wall. The blue cubes is the sun arch. In the top image the influence is only 0.5 but the sun is not occluded by the wall. In the middle image the suns arch is behind the wall and its influence is 0.9. The size of the plant produced is therefore smaller than the top plant. The bottom image has the same sun arch but the influence of the sun is reduced to 0.1 So far the methodology is working though the visual results are pretty crude. Although I will sort this out at a later date the next stage of the project will be to try and grow to L-systems simultaneously and have them competing for space and light. |
