A brief visit to the Bothwell Lodge today. Way too hot to stay and walk the trail!

As i was so excited about tutorial that Veronique published yesterday, i couldn't go to sleep not trying this out and tried to do some for my elephants. I used just ordinary tools from manicure set.
War so begeistert von dem Tutorial von Veronique, dass ich nicht ruhig schlafen gehen konnte und hab' was ein bisschen ausprobiert. Hab' Paar Instrumente aus meinem Maniküre Set benutzt.
Reflection test using the new internal Structure Synth raytracer. (Rendering time: 2.4s)
I've started working on a simple built-in raytracer in Structure Synth, both for providing fast previews in the GUI, and for people who are intimidated by the somewhat complex template export.
So far it is pretty standard stuff: a single-threaded, Phong shaded based raytracer which uses the Fast Voxel Traversel method to accelerate ray-primitive intersection tests. As of now it supports reflections, transparency, shadows (the hard and ugly type), and adaptive anti-alias. I've also implemented a simple Ambient Occlusion scheme.

"Bridge 1"
STRUCTURES is a series of generative art pieces the explores the constructions of our world by taking photographs of man-made and natural structures and placing them into a new structure. This process semi-randomly fragments and rearranges the photographs into a grid of my design. I'll often run the images through this process several times, using various grid structures along the way.

Port House Antwerp, Belgium by Zaha Hadid Architects.
The Port House combines a new beam-shaped structure and a former fire brigade building into a new headquarter building for the Port Authority. The project is strategically located between city and harbour, with magnificent views over both the centre and the port from behind the articulate glass walls – some transparent, others reflective – in reference to the Antwerp diamond trade.
In early September 2012 Zaha Hadid gave the official order to begin construction work on Port House, the new headquarters for Antwerp Port Authority on the Kattendijk dock. The new Antwerp Port Authority headquarters will house approximately 500 staff in a single new location that comprises both a former fire station and a new extension. Together, these two entities form an impressive new landmark as the headquarters of the Antwerp Port Authority, overlooking both the city and the harbour. Staff and visitors arrive in the central atrium from where public counters, offices and meeting rooms in the existing building are directly accessible. The offices, meeting rooms, auditorium and panoramic restaurant in the new extension are accessible via panoramic lifts just off the central courtyard. Two underground levels of car and bicycle parking, the restoration and renovation of the existing building and the exterior landscaping of the site also form an integral part of the design. The new extension is positioned asymmetrically over the central courtyard, allowing light to enter the heart of the building. Leaving the existing structure untouched, it is supported by two sculpted concrete pillars that house stairs and lifts as well as a series of carefully placed steel columns that land in the courtyard. The new volume is enclosed by articulated surfaces of triangular glass panels which are slightly rotated with respect to one another to achieve ever-changing reflections that enhance its diamond shaped geometry. From the new building visitors will have a truly impressive view over the city as well as the port, so further strengthening the dialogue between the people of Antwerp and their port.

Structure Synth terminates the recursion if the number of objects is greater than the given threshold ('set maxobjects ...') or if the recursion depth becomes greater than the maximum depth ('set maxdepth ...'). It is also possible to set a maxdepth for an individual rule ('rule R1 maxdepth 5').
I've added two new rules for controlling the termination.
'set minsize {size}' and 'set maxsize {size}' allows you to specify how large or small a given object can be before terminating. The 'size' parameter refers to the length of the diagonal of a unit cube in the current local state. (The initial coordinate frame goes from (0,0,0) to (1,1,1) and hence has a diagonal length of sqrt(3)~1.7). It is possible to specify both a mix and a min size. The termination criteria only stops the current branch - if other branches are still within a valid range, the will be continued.
This is very useful for preventing Structure Synth from creating boxes which cannot be seen anyway or from growing without bounds.
The image shows the same structure at three different minimum size tresholds.
Example script (requires a post-version 0.9 of Structure Synth!):
set minsize 0.8 // or 0.4, or 0.2
set maxdepth 600
