MorphoMaker download:
Requirements:
- Mac: OS X 10.6 or later.
- Linux: Ubuntu 14.04 or later. Some models require 32bit binary support (e.g. ia32-libs or lib32z1).
- All platforms: OpenGL 3.0 or higher.
Instructions:
The program opens with default parameters set for each model. General RD is a classical Gierer-Meinhardt reaction-diffusion simulation, FungiHexa a simulation of fungiform papillae patterning in mouse tongue and Triconodont/Tribosphenic simulations of simple tooth shapes (see references below).Model parameters for generating the complex patterns in the EED 2014 poster can be downloaded from here.
FAQ
Q: The program crashes in Mac OS X with "You can't open the application "MorphoMaker X" because it may be damaged or incomplete.".
A: Make sure the program bundle is named exactly "MorphoMaker" with no extra numbers, whitespaces or so.
Q: In OS X error message says "Program is damaged" or similar.
A: Go to System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> General. Set "Allow apps downloaded from" to "Anywhere".
