101 – Snowflakes

Both of these snowflake images were made using Context Free, a new application I discovered today.  Here’s the blurb from the website that explains what it is:
 
Context Free is a program that generates images from written instructions called a grammar. The program follows the instructions in a few seconds to create images that can contain millions of shapes.
 
There are several examples you can examine to learn how to use it.  One of them is a Snowflake.  I played around with some of the parameters and created these two.  This application is a pretty exciting find. Below is a video that I created with it showing the pattern as it develops (scroll to the bottom to find the play button):
