Hi!

This is actually an experiment gone wrong, but I like it for its
dynamic. 100 points for everybody who recognizes the original structure :)

Comments welcome!

P.S.: Sorry for the big file, but JPEG just looked awful...

I see something resembling a sierpinski pyramid, but it could also be just a
piece of modern art :p

either way, I like it :)

Uh, that was quick, and right, too :) 100 points to, which you can
either trade for 20 radiosity samples or 100 reflection rays (Note that
shipping is not included).

A Sierpinski triangle?

I can almost hear it! :D
Nice!

That looks like you were doing something other than a random-walk; how are
you generating you serpinski gasket (i.e. by what algorithm)?

Cool thingy. As you say, dynamic. Sweet.

It's not the gasket, but a Sierpinski tetrahedron which I create using a
simple recursion. I only learned about the random walk possibility some
days ago, and I think it's a really interesting way of constructing the
set. It doesn't suit my purpose, though.

Thanks :)

Right, a 'Tetrix' is the official name, I think. Are you using tetrahedral
mesh bits, or some other basic unit?

I'm a bit of a chaos nut --- I'd love to see what you're doing with the
fixed version.

Isosurface (sphere) where maximum and minimum values were set too high/low.

Yep, tetrix seems right. And yes, the basic unit are tetrahedral meshes.

You can see what the actually desired result is in my new thread "Sphere
inversions", posting 3/3.
