How do you incorporate a third dimension into an L-system?

$begingroup$


I don't know hardly anything about L systems, I just came across them. But, I am interest in using them within a 3D environment.



Looking here http://www.kevs3d.co.uk/dev/lsystems/
you can see that the process is able to form plant structures. The problem is, all these lines are on a 2D plane and therefore intersect and pass through one another, unlike actual plant branches. How do I define the 3D rotation or spacing between these branches that is consistent with the rest of the pattern?
