It was all generated with POV-Ray; no other apps were used. The cavity
shader colors the object incrementally at each iteration, and is mapped
to produce darker values in the cavities. From what I understand, other
people were shading at each reflection, whereas mine is a spherical
incremented gradient hacked onto the main function. After trying some 2D
kaleidoscopic IFS functions it has become clear that my cavity shader
needs a lot more work. After all, I spent only a a short time developing
it :/
