Hi everyone.
Here is a small cool 3D fractal I slamed together. I don't know what it's
called but I recon it's closely related to the fractal in the "fractal
cheese" posting.
Don't complain about the floor! =)
Anyway, enjoy or what ever...

I don't know what it's called, but it's got an official name in mathamatics.
Would you be willing to post the recursive macro you used?
Oh, BTW, this is the default 'floor' I use in all my images.... it's a bit
more interesting :)
plane {
y, 0
texture {
pigment { checker color rgb 1.0, color rgb 0.1 }
finish { reflection 0.05 ambient 0.0 }
normal { quilted scale 1/2 }
}
}

its called a Phascal triangle (phascal's triangle or pascal's triangle)
Thats what you were looking for.

In this case, I don't think it is. Pascal's triangle is used for distributions,
etc. It's not a geometrial form, really. This is a 3D version of what is
called a Sierpinski Triangle. The "cheese" looks like a Sierpinski Box, but it
doesn't have enough holes; it would have to have 9 holes per side at level 2.
Oh, well..

Yup i think your rigthon this one, That doesnt seem to be a pashcals

In 2D, the recursive triangle shape thing is properly called
Sierpinski's Gasket, alternatively Sierpinski's Triangle. It is closely
related to Pascal's Triangle, a series of numbers in a triangle pattern
used for various mathematical things. If you colour every odd number in
pascals triangle black and all the even ones white, you get this
pattern. In 2D, there are dozens of unique techniques for getting this
shape (including fractal trees, it may be possible in 3D using Giles'
macro although I haven't looked at it).
For reference, Pascals Triangle:
1
1 1
1 2 1
1 3 3 1
1 4 6 4 1
And so on...
(And if you can't figure out the pattern, think harder :-)
The area of your triangle approaches 0, and I can't remember if the
perimeter is finite or goes to infinity.

Ok, I won't complain about the floor - though I have to admit that it looks
familiar. ;-]
Very cool indeed - one of those images that leaves you wishing you could
crawl around inside and see what's goin' on. My first thought was
Buckminster; my second thought was Escher; my final thought - Buckminster and
Escher on a lazy Sunday afternoon with a 12 pack. ;-]

You would probably have found it easier to look in the \scenes\macro directory of the
POV
3.1installation. Pyramid.pov and pyramid2.pov create just this shape.

I think you might be referring to "pyramid.pov" and "pyramid2.pov" which are
included scenes file with POV under \scenes\macros. They use spheres to demonstrate
the macro used to generate this scene, credit is given to Sven Hilscher originally
and to Chris Young for the POV include scene file.

Why do you say that? I know that this DePetrillo character is the one that fooled
us all, so I responded to his message and requested that it and all previous ones
by him be removed. I am not lost. Have a nice day, Spider.

The nature of a fractal is that it is always the same, it's just
extended, and uses more sameness to produce the image (if that
makes sense).

I would say this is not he same fractal. This one is easy, having spheres
branch away recursively. The original... The structure is clearly different.
I'm not even sure how to go about creating it.

It's the famous Sierpinsky-triangle.
