Meats Meier used Groboto to help him create this image: http://features.cgsociety.org/stories/2008_05/siggmother/images/animom_8x8.jpg

And Groboto works fine with Zbrush!
See the explorations (another)by one of the conceptor of Groboto, Darrel Anderson
Mixing Parametric and organic is some crazzy!
So SU + Groboto + ZB = T N T
Have fun!

I've been playing with it for a week or so, makes the train commute more interesting.

Remember this painting by Max Ernst?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Europe_After_the_Rain.jpg
The guy experimented with everything, including semi-automatic creation processes, such as frottage, a technique extensively used in this painting.The modern equivalents of frottage seem to be PD Particles, POV's 4D-Fractals, Ultrafractal, and now Groboto. All of them are semi-automatic creation tools. You become part creator and part spectator. And I think that's actually good for when you're kinda dry of fresh ideas.
Any other tools/toys in the same spirit?

Lewis told me about one called Xenodream. I downloaded the demo but I don't understand it.
