3D L-Systems at Last!

OK, it took me long enough, but I've finally modified nthd.org's turtle and L-system scripts to work in three dimensions. The turtle now rolls and pitches in addition to turning. This allows the script to render those three dimensional L-systems I've been dreaming about. I've uploaded a sample render of a 3D Hilbert curve to flickr:



I'll post the code here when I've finished cleaning it up. The above curve was generated with:

angle: 90°
axiom: X
rule: X→^<XF^<XFX-F^>>XFX&F+>>XFX-F>X->
iterations: 3

UPDATE: here's what a 4 iteration curve looks like when the camera orbits around it:
