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.
From a technical point of view, buildings are structured vertically and horizontally. A construction usually rises from a stone subfoundation to a curved roof covered with tiles, held by a console structure and supported on posts; walls are made of earth (adobe) or are sometimes totally composed of movable wooden doors. Architecture is built according to the k'a unit, the distance between two posts (about 3.7 meters), and is designed so that there is always a transitional space between the "inside" and the "outside."
The console, or bracket structure, is a specific architectonic element that has been designed in various ways through time. If the simple bracket system was already in use under the Goguryeo kingdom (37 BCE–668 CE)—in palaces in Pyongyang, for instance—a curved version, with brackets placed only on the column heads of the building, was elaborated during the early Goryeo (Koryo) dynasty (918–1392). The Amita Hall of the Buseok temple in Yeongju is a good example. Later on (from the mid-Koryo period to the early Joseon dynasty), a multiple-bracket system, or an inter-columnar-bracket set system, was developed under the ancient Han dynasty in China influence during the Mongolian Yuan dynasty (1279–1368). In this system, the consoles were also placed on the transverse horizontal beams. Seoul's Namdaemun Gate Namdaemun, Korea's first national treasure, is perhaps the most symbolic example of this type of structure.
In the mid-Joseon period, the winglike bracket form appeared (an example is the Yongnyongjon Hall of Jongmyo, Seoul), which, according to some authors, better suited the peninsula's poor economic situation that resulted from repetitive invasions. Only in buildings of importance like palaces or sometimes temples (Tongdosa, for instance) were the multicluster brackets still used. Korean Confucianism also led to more sober and simple solutions.

Linemen prepare to pull an underground transmission cable through conduit at a transition structure.
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

The footbridge over the railroads in Paranapiacaba, Brazil.
About Paranapiacaba: It is a historical village and railroad station nestled in the Atlantic rain forest at the top of the Serra do Mar mountain range, the last stop before trains descend the Serra do Mar to the coast.
It was established as a company town for the employees of São Paulo Railway, a privately owned British railway company. This railway allowed the transport of cargo and people from the city of São Paulo to the port of Santos. The word paranapiacaba means "where you will find the sea" in Tupi.
Most of the village was built by English men (Many of the materials came from Europe) and the historical part of the village is in the typical English style with colourful houses made of wood. There is a scale replica of Big Ben on the main train platform, that was part of the original train station and the rail yards are somewhat of a train graveyard, with many rusting old wrecks that one can look through. There is also a railroad museum.
It is a very pleasing place both for railfans (It's the only place in Brazil that still has electric locomotives moving freight, and it's a main corridor) and nature lovers, providing easy access to the rain forest of the Serra do Mar.

The dilapidated remains of the Fambro/Arthur home are pictured, Feb. 7, 2015, in Orrville, Alabama. The wooden frame cottage was built in the 1840’s and was more typical of the average person’s house in the antebellum era. Besides the slave quarters at Kirk-View mansion, the Fambro/Arthur home is the only remaining structure on the grounds of Old Cahawba Archaeological Park. It is considered “at risk” by the Alabama Historical Commission, which is seeking funds to restore it. Cahaba, also known as “Old Cahawba,” was Alabama’s state capital from 1819-1826 but was abandoned after the Civil War. It is now considered a ghost town. It is located in Dallas County near Selma, Alabama. (Photo by Carmen K. Sisson/Cloudybright)
