Modelling 3D Fractals

So my professor wants me to make model a Pinecone with mathematical correctness in AutoCAD. Not any other software, just AutoCAD.
How do I even start?

I think I can make stuff from other softwares and import it into AutoCAD.

 

Help me.

The creation of a fractal pattern requires the generation of a new shape from an old shape but with some scaling, translation, and rotation applied for a series of iterations.  To do this in just AutoCAD would require some programming (probably with VLISP) or a tedious manual process.  Of course, coordinate data for the creation of the fractal pattern could be imported from another program to build the geometry in AutoCAD.  I suggest you get a clarification from your professor on what he/she mean by using only AutoCAD.
