The algorythim Alex uses likely contains a fair amount of artistic privilege, meaning he decides that a certain function call looks squiggly or pointy or whatever. With the frequency and density and grouping modifying that object in some way...

You could do the same thing with genetics using the GATCCTAGCCGAGTCTCACGCAA sequences and running them through a similarly arbitrary algorythm.

But I bet you dollars to doughnuts that your rendering won't look a thing like the organism whose genes were used. Unless you had a complete understanding of genetics, physics, biology, and chemistry, of course... :)

@MadCrazy:

I was thinking the same thing... Sadly, such a film would probably take years to render though.

I wonder if more benign software would look just as evil as these pictures?
You never know, MSPaint might produce a Jabberwocky...

@angryhorsedojo:

Most viruses are trojans.

I wonder what an OS would look like if he reendered in the safe way....they should do a five minute movie of one these things going after one..!

To get back on topic: I find this pretty interesting, I'd like to know more of the logistics behind this 3D rendering and see if this could be applied somehow genetically. It's a bit loopy, I know, but if possible I would LOVE to see the results.
