{April 19, 2009}   Debian packages for Structure Synth

Structure Synth is an application for creating 3D structures from a set of user specified rules. It is an attempt to make a 3D version of Context Free (a free -GPL’ed- program that generates images from written instructions called a grammar). The cool thing about Structure Synth is that it has a simple language for writing recursive scripts that can generate complex structures (kinda Processing, but in 3D), and you can feed the result into Sunflow (a rendering system for photo-realistic image synthesis, already available in Debian) to generate Escher-like cool images. The program is waiting in the NEW queue, but you can temporarily download my packages (for Debian SID amd64) if you want. Even though I’ve tried hard to be the one to blog about this, my friend Javier Candeira has won the competition and has been able to write about this earlier than me :P

Spanish readers might want to have a look at JoSeKBlog, where he describes how to combine Structure Synth and Sunflow, and where I first read about the existence of the program.

Nada, darte las gracias sin mas, no solo por este si no por todos los paquetes que mantienes, que a veces a fuerza de usarlo se me olvida el esfuerzo que lleva detrás. Eres la jefa.
