I haven't familiarized myself with fractals that much, to be honest. In POV
there are at least the julia_fractal object and also some fractal patterns for
texturing, but then for actual fractal generation, I'd say there are specialized
programs better suited for namely that stuff out there. Perhaps you could make a
topic about "POV & fractals" in the general section of the news groups to better
reach those who know more about the subject? ;)

For my images above, I use 2 isosurfaces, 1 for soil and 1 for liquid, then
media for atmosphere. It's the same object in the close-up and zoom-out. Only
with media re-scaled a bit in the orbital view. :)
