-
- -Screensaver Name: DeepLife
-
- -Screensaver API: Direct3D for DirectX6
-
- -Screensaver Description: DeepLife is a real-time 3D viewer for L-Systems, or
- Lindenmayer systems, which are compact sets of rules that can describe complex
- 3D geometry. For example, a text file that is only a couple hundred bytes in
- size can produce an intricate structure on the order of hundreds of thousands
- of polygons! DeepLife renders and animates L-Systems in real-time, producing
- models that can mimic nature, including trees, plants, and microscopic sea-life.
- Those who are brave can edit the L-Systems included with DeepLife, and create
- their own forms of life!
-
- -List Of Known Bugs: LS files that describe enormously large geometry will
- hang the system. Be careful when designing your own L-Systems!
