Here's a some experiment with the Cellular Automata. I made a 3D grid
instead of usually a 2D grid. The rules are more complex when It is in
Multidimentional Environnement. If you have links to some works on 3D
cellular Automatas rules, your suggestions will be appreciated. I'm planning
adding memory to the cells and make simulations more like ants models.

These images do look interesting, but an animation
might show better what's happening. Of course
you'd have to introduce interpolation then, like
while tracing 10 frames, only one step of the
system's laws are applied, and dying spheres shrink
till they vanish, etc.
This way, you could maybe even spread the calculation
of new steps across several frames... But that might
be too complicated. After all, such an algorithm would
only make sense if you're after animations, and what
smooth moving from one state to the next...

Anyways, how much did I add? Its nice being thanked
for, but I'm not sure what you actually did with these
macros of mine. I'm just curious...

And what about the parsing times? Must be pretty
high, right? My current project, water-surfaces, is
already pretty slow, and that's only 2D-Arrays...

I made some of .AVI with DivX, but I do not have server to publish them.
Over a long period, it is really coherent. I'll publish a small version soon
on the bin.animations.

To render thoses images, It tooks 6min per images for a 80x80x80 matrix,
wich is quite ok. I'm working with someone on that project and we use an
expirimental Solid modeler in Scheme and it is really rapid. It is in real
time with 20x20x20 (with shadows). I don't know why it tooks so much time to
parse with povray.

I was planning to play with the levels of sampling the Neiberhood. But, for
each cells it get 3 times exponentinal. This is prohibitive.

I'm still working on that. I'm planning publishing something when it will be
readable and more genereal.

Very cool, but could really use some radiosity...

That's really awesome! An idea would be to use blob components for each of 
the cells. :-)

hey folks

i did something similar a while ago when i was preparing a presentation
about cellular automatas for school.

i'll post the animation to p.b.a.

those automatas are really interesting. i even found a whole turing machine
built only with these rules. there is a own science just about rule sets and
stuff...

The turing test in this case is a great question. Does it look intelligent?

Here's new Simulations. Yellow cells are alone and red cells are the core. I
have made .AVI, I'll post that soon. Old cells going Blue, New cells from
white and Dying cells turning black.
