// GALE GROVE — the wind SIM FIELD driving L-SYSTEM trees: the same // `wind_field:` opt-in as the meadow, on branching geometry. The field is // sampled at each vertex's REST position, so parent and child branches // read the same wind at their joint and can never tear; gusts light what // they bend, so a kick sends a visible shudder traveling through the // grove. Pattern taught here: one wind field, any mesh engine. { name: "Gale Grove" engine: "lsystem" seed: 23 axiom: "X" rules: ["X=F[+X][-X][&X]FX", "F=FF"] iterations: 5 angle: 24.0 angle_jitter: 5.0 step: 0.16 radius: 0.05 copies: 5 wind_field: "wind" flow: 0.9 gust: "(2.0 + pulse * 1.8) * (0.2 + 1.6*p0)" travel: 0.26 decay: 0.5 scale: 2.2 extent: 6.0 sway: 0.5 beat_pulse: "0.25 * (0.2 + 1.6*p1)" beat_rate: 0.5 // PERFORMANCE DIALS — mid-knob = the stock look, exact. p0: 0.5 p1: 0.5 p2: 0.5 dials: [ {name: "GUST", bind: "p0", default: 0.5}, {name: "PUMP", bind: "p1", default: 0.5}, {name: "GLOW", bind: "p2", default: 0.5} ] color_bg: #x0a0c14 color_a: #x2a5a3a color_b: #x9adf7a color_c: #xeaffe0 cam_orbit: 0.07 fog: 0.05 glow: "1.05 * (0.25 + 1.5*p2)" stages: [ {kind: "bloom", threshold: 0.55, strength: 1.1, levels: 3} ] // THE LOOK LIVES HERE.
