Thats an old topic, and I know that now are better snowflakes models.

But while I'm reading this I have one idea.

I belive its L-system with 60 degree rotation six elements and decreasing
length. Am I right?

What about random elements? What about make it a 60+((rand(ANY_SEED)-0.5)*
SCALE, (where SCALE is quite small) rotation and length decreasing with
also random scaling? And maybe a random #if ? For example :

#if rand(seed)<0.96

// make next recursion step

#end

When i have more free time I'll try to make that snowflakes.
