Hi All,
Just playing with Sverchok addon which I’ve been eyeing now for quite some time. It’s certainly a daunting addon as there’s so much to learn (500 nodes or so). But I think it’s worth it as you can do so much cool stuff with it. Just going through their examples and snippets I’ve managed to find on the web. Sorcar is also very interesting and does have some similarities but Sverchok is more mature (imo) and provides deeper lower level functionality. Sverchok has examples built in which is very useful for beginners like myself. Both of these add-ons are quite powerful so I suggest trying both.
Let me know if you like these Sverchok inspired renders (which are based on examples from vicdoval and portnov). Lighting could be better but it’s a start.
Vicdoval fork which seems to have the Sverchok “Extras” working (on my PC which is Win 10 64bit with Blender v2.83.5):

Cheers and stay safe!
