As LaPoste.net is closing, Bioschematics is moving back to Tuxfamily. You can now found the site at http://bioschematics.tuxfamily.org. Update your bookmarks.

BioSchematics 0.4.6 is out ! This release consist mainly in a few improvements in the installation process (All files get installed on the system). I also provide a debian package.Note: The program now looks if a shell variable is set to a directory and search if the various directories exist. If not, the program looks in the working directory and otherwise, loads everything from the system directory (/usr/local/share/bioschematics or /usr/share/bioschematics).

I am releasing BioSchematics 0.4.5. This version adds some new features such as object transparency, selectable background color, standard surfaces (not NURBS). This image should provide a good overview of thee new features (config file is fass3d.cfg, check it to see how to call the new functions):


The image should also be familiar to those who have read Prusinkiewicz & Lindenmeyer book.

I added an RSS feed to this site, available at http://pagesperso.laposte.net/bioschematics/rss.xml.

Bioschematics development is stalled for the moment. After an upgrade of my computer, the nvidia glx drivers do not want to work anymore. I have changed a few things to the code but I want to test it before publishing the new version. Hope that Nvidia will release new drivers soon...

BioSchematics 0.4.4 'Christmas pudding edition' is out. This version improves the gls interpreter (it should create simpler 3d models, see Changelog for details), the program interface and corrects a few bugs. Download it here. Merry Christmas to all.

The bioschematics-dev archive was corrupted. I found the problem today and corrected it. You can download the file and uncompress it using the command tar xzvf bioschematics-dev.tar.gz. As usual ./configure; make;make install should configure, compile and install the program (see manual for details).

OK. I've got my PhD! I have corrected a few bugs from the 0.4.3 version. As the changes are not sufficiently important to make a new release, I create a new package bioschematics-dev.tar.gz which will be the most up-to-date version of the program. Once I'll have enough changes to the program, this version will become the 0.4.4 or 0.5.0 and so on...

I'm starting a small reflexion on mycorrhiza (for my work) and added a few properties and config files (mycelia and mycelia3) that model hyphal growth. (mycelia3 needs _a lot_ of computing power).

There is a missing dependency in the configure script. You need the GD library in order to compile the program.

I don't have much time for the moment as I'm writing my Ph.D dissertation. I'll try to add a few small things to Bioschematics in order to keep it alive.

BioSchematics v0.4.3 is available. This version adds an export item in the mouse menu. You can choose to export single images (TIFF) or every images from an animation to create videos (TIFF/Animation).

I updated a bit the manual.
