• This script is based on Zeno Pelgrims - www.graffik.be - NCCA 2014 - fractalGenerator. I modified the original scripts from 2D L-system to 3D, added 4 more rotation operations: <, >, ^, &.
• The iteration time can influence the running time significantly, be careful if when iterations > 4.
• If the L-system start to be drawn incorrectly, please restart Maya, clear inputs and try again. There still is a small bug hiding itself...
• try F ==> F[+F][-F[-F]F[+F][-F]
