Description

Hyphae is an attractor renderer. (What?! Yet another attractor renderer?! :-D) In this case triangles are generated along the path of the attractor as it is iterated, based on velocity and acceleration.

Hyphae was primarily intended as a real-time animated display. The attractor is morphed and tweened in order to generate a sequence of animated frames. A sample of the animated output is available here.

POV-Ray Export

This project also served as the source for some experiments exporting still frames to other rendering tools for higher resolution and/or higher quality output. Sample code and further description of the methodology have been moved to their own page.
