Abstract
Diffusion Limited Aggregation (DLA) has usually been studied in 2 dimensions as a model of fractal growth processes such as branching, lightning, snowflakes, mineral deposits, and coral. Here, the basic principles are extended into 3 dimensions and used to create believable models of root systems. A straightforward approach is introduced for constraining the growth of the 3 dimensional DLA by a surface or containing it within a vessel.
