Yes, they are!
Nothing new, just honing my skills at recursive macros. The inspiration to
this image may be obvious to some... Or maybe not. Anyway, I decided to post
it since fractals seem to be becoming popular here...
JPEG really hated this image, BTW.

Is this the branch dividian fractal algorithm ?

It looks like a double ended Gilles tree macro variation
but is so dark it is difficult to tell for sure what all
is really present in the scene.

could you re render ths one, maybe with a checker plane in the bg or render
w/ a white BG instead of black, its very difficult to see.

Well, you need the right amount of lighting in your room. If you know what I
mean...
As for the fractal, I don't know what it's called. It is quite similar to
the one used for generating trees, but the objective was more like that of
Spider's "corals", i.e. identical copies of the base object, taking their
orientation from the branch they're on. Not as easy as it would seem at
first.

OK, I hope you can see this one better. But you really should train yourself
to work in the dark, like me...

I liked the first one better. :)

I can see clearly now the dark is gone...

  I approve of work in this direction and see it's possible uses for alien
hair do's and exotic food stuffs. And maybe trees as well.

  Is it difficult to create and control the routines that produce
these functions or is it pretty much straight forward once you
have a working format to expand on your work from ?
