the beauty of chaos

Latley i have been playing around with an 3D strange attractors rendering software, for generating iterative chaotic function fractals. Here are some of the fractals i have generated hope you like them.

A fractal is generally "a rough or fragmented geometric shape that can be split into parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole,a property called self-similarity.

Scripted Creature

Lately i have beeen working back with RhinoScript and as a prctice excercise i wanted to create a script wich helped me to create a generative sculpture like object.The result of playing around with this idea is this scripted creature. For the creation of this figure i developed a script wich works in a simple way , the user needs to input a set of points , the the script will elaborate a net work beetween those points withe a distance conditional then script will ask the user to select the created lines he wants to use for the creation of the structure , then script will complete the task making a lofted surface.

Here is the script perhaps it can be usfel to perform other tasks if you find one please let me know.
