If you look through the gallery for images with similar effects, you can can copy the scripts from the "View Large" page and work from those.
(There's a "Next 100" link at the very, very bottom of the page to see more).

Then after you've made a start yourself and know which parts you're having problems with, people can give you better help on the details.

Otherwise we might just end up taking over completely

Code: Select all

background{b -1}
startshape bluishglow
rule bluishglow{10* {s .9} CIRCLE{b 1 sat 1 h 250 a -.9}}

They are separate scripts.

Just use

Code: Select all

startshape fehu

with no background setting to see the second one by itself.

Or to combine them, keep the original background and startshape, but change

Code: Select all

rule bluishglow{
    10* {s .9} CIRCLE{b 1 sat 1 h 250 a -.9}
    fehu{z 1 s .5}
}

This works fine for me

Code: Select all

background{b -1} 
startshape bluishglow 
rule bluishglow{
10* {s .9} CIRCLE{b 1 sat 1 h 250 a -.9}
fehu{z 1 s .5}
}
rule stick1{SQUARE{s .05 1}}
rule stick2{stick1{x (tan(45)/2) r 45 s 1 (1/cos(45))}}
rule stick3{stick1{x (tan(30)/2) r 30 s 1 (1/cos(30))}}
rule twig1{SQUARE{s .05 .4}}
rule twig2{twig1{x (tan(45)*.2) r 45 s 1 (1/cos(45))}}
rule twig3{twig1{x (tan(60)*.2) r 60 s 1 (1/cos(60))}}

rule fehu{
    stick1{}
    twig2{y .28 f 0}
    twig2{ f 0}
}

But I'm using version 2.2beta2 with no GUI.
If you're still using whatever was around in 2005, it wouldn't understand this.

Okay, it'll be the expressions.
Get your calculator and replace them with actual numbers, and no "()".
