Abstract
The starting point in this article is a variant of the Smith Truchet tiling, with tiles hexagons or triangles, with an arc design on each tile. A hinged procedure is applied. When repeated indefinitely, families of fractals are obtained. These are terdragon fractals, their boundary, and Sierpinski triangle variations. The Koch snowflake also appears. This is a continuation of the construction of fractal dragons from hinged Truchet tilings in a Bridges 2023 paper.
