Hi,

Is there a script which is helpful to create fractal like patterns / objects like
we know from the amazing romanesco shapes ? Or is there any available
tool around to experiment with ?

You might try searching on the web for "L-system" or "Lindenmayer system" tools.

For example starting with this:



Then a circular array with some vertical and radial stepping used:



Scale array used ( http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=275.109 ):



Circular array applied again:

Thank you Michael, I have used Array so far only for simple radial
multiplication and not considered using it in the way you demon-
strated - very good !
