This is not a tutorial but I tried to combine the models done in my previous 3 posts. still WIP...
model structure is like this
1. create the phyllotaxis base -> a list of axis systemes well placed and with correct orientation
2. attach the leaves to each axis systems -> the leaves became petals by controling their growth
3. changing a petal’s altitude, size and orientation as a function of n.
Lindenmayer: " The height at which a petal is placed decreases by a small amount as n increases. The size of each successive petal is incremented linearly. The orientation is also adjusted linearly by a small angle increment. Thus, petals with small values of index n are placed more vertically, while petals with larger indices n are more horizontal.
also there is a tropism effect in each petal: central petals are flatter than external petals
4. add a red color to make sure you see a flower - no confusion with artichoke or lettuce (critical for Valentine)
I struggled with the usage of "transpose" in the model. to make sure parameters are applied at the right level of the lists.
model of the petal
model of the flower
