A mix of modeling and programming ideas. I used Blended for tentacle spline shapes and a stand-in pavilion. I also used Blender to visualize the height field topography.
Utilities are programmed in PureBasic :
- obj_to_POV.exe for Blender meshes
- x3d_read.exe for parsing Blender Types into POV arrays
- write_plant_map_v5.exe - writes 2D objects arrays based on a color keyed raster image
- color_map_from_png.exe - generate quick POV color_maps for a png
