Initially, I came up with several lists of textures that I could find that were similar to each other and would be easily recognizable. The following are organized into sections by similarity or possible capability to form into similar patterns especially with regards to
(cracked, segmented)
1. leaf veins
2. cracked mud
3. tree bark/ burnt tree bark
4. stone wall
5. vine that creeps up the wall and naturally takes the same shapes
6. lava flow from a distance (always iffy about this one, so far I've left it out)
7. same for the structure of rivers from a distance, or water flow.
(layered)
8. layered stone/earth
9. shelf fungus (has very distinct layers in it)
10. rings from the cross section of a tree
11. fern curls, vine spirals
(central formation structures)
12. Lily pads
13. flowers
14. dandelion seed pod
15. aerial view of a city (esp at night)
16. tree branches (can also take on the shape of cracked, segmented textures above)
17. tree roots
18. the larger vein structure of a leaf.
I have many lists of other materials in nature, but I didn't quite find a place to fit them in. I also want to make it clear that I am not focusing on the mathematical equations, like the fibonacci sequence, that ultimately drive the patterns and structure in nature (though it did cross my mind) especiall after seeing this film: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkGeOWYOFoA. (though I did like the song used and will prob end up using it) I am more interested in the design and creating something beautiful and interesting to watch.
