Just over 2 years ago, I posted some images of 3d strange attractors I'd 
found, in this thread:

http://news.povray.org/povray.binaries.images/thread/%3C4b1c3281%40news.povray.org%3E/?mtop=333040

I recently returned to the project, improved my workflow (such as it 
is), spruced up the plotting a bit, added some more equations and so 
forth. I'm building a simple online gallery to house the resulting 
images, which I shall post here when it's up to scratch.

In the meantime, here are some more fruits of my experiments. The most 
frequently pleasing and quickest to find appear to belong to the 
Pickover and Lorenz-84 equations, but the polynomial 'abs' and 'sin' 
produce some wonderful angular, crystalline shapes if one is 
sufficiently patient.
