Open-source torus generator updated with 3D models and image generation

A developer has open-sourced a "torus generator" project called Tortoise, which creates fractal toroidal structures. The generator has been updated with a "phenomenology" mode that allows smaller fractal elements to be replaced with 3D models like eyes, heads, or snakes, enabling image generation. The project initially used Claude for creating the fractal torus in Three.js, and later integrated ControlNet with StabilityAI's API for pose-based image generation. AI

IMPACT This tool demonstrates novel applications of AI in creative generation, integrating LLMs with 3D modeling and image synthesis.
