Artwork Based On Diffusion-limited Aggregation
The intricate and organic forms that can be generated with diffusion-limited aggregation algorithms have been explored by artists. Andy Lomas' 'Aggregation' series features ray-traced images and animations of aggregates containing more than 50 million particles. Lomas has presented the series at more than nine galleries and as a sketch at SIGGRAPH 2005, in which he describes his technique.
Simutils, part of the toxiclibs open source library for the Java programming language developed by Karsten Schmidt, allows users to apply the DLA process to pre-defined guidelines or curves in the simulation space and via various other parameters dynamically direct the growth of 3D forms.

Famous quotes containing the word based:
“What strikes many twin researchers now is not how much identical twins are alike, but rather how different they are, given the same genetic makeup....Multiples don’t walk around in lockstep, talking in unison, thinking identical thoughts. The bond for normal twins, whether they are identical or fraternal, is based on how they, as individuals who are keenly aware of the differences between them, learn to relate to one another.”
—Pamela Patrick Novotny (20th century)
