Hi everyone,

First off... sorry, it's not 3D. What you see before you is an on-going 
project of mine. The goal is to render a field in which endless pictures 
can be seen. The pictures are made up by your own mind. Therefore, some 
effort is required to view this image. Not too much effort though! It's 
best to just gaze calmly, to see what your mind produces.

The purpose for this? To peer into the subconscious. I believe the 
subconscious mind is a very creative thing, and that this sort of 
meditation can help tap into it.

The effect is achieved by applying a repeat warp (with horizontal 
mirroring) to a pattern. That pattern is skewed in the x+z direction to 
vary the effect across a distance, while still maintaining some 
semblance of symmetry at a local level. That pattern is then copied and 
added to itself in a function, with different sizes and translations for 
each instance. A little bit of pigment_mapping is then applied to 
achieve an aesthetic quality. It is then all placed onto a z-facing 
plane. It's based (somewhat) on the Rorschach ink blot test.

I'm interested to know what pictures you guys see in this. I wonder if 
you will see something here, even if you're not the type to normally see 
faces in trees and such.

Sam
