I've been working on these for a few days now. Takes about 30 minutes to fully calculate/render the fractals and shadows (on my PC). After that I can change the color palette and lighting effects instantly. I took a few images at each zoom level to show the effect different lighting, colors, and fog can have on the generated fractal.

  • The fractal starts to lose detail here. I could crank the settings even higher and wait 1-2+ hours to render, but none of these images are really worth the trouble. They are cool, but not max out my CPU for over an hour cool.

I remember doing the low-tech version with mirrors. It kinda fades after 10 or so cycles since the reflection isn't perfect, and you're always holding it at an angle if you want to see what's going on...

yup.... i still do it occasionally the 3 way bathroom mirrors.

wish i would have recorded it on a vhs tape. this wasnt like that... it was like a 3d green road with ridges and grooves flying into itself. very fractal-like. kinda reminded me of the original xbox startup sequence. the color anyway.
