This is (obviously) a Julia fractal. It contains white emitting media.
The surface of the fractal is not totally transparent and there are
three differently colored light sources to give the festive look.
Unfortunately I lost the source, so I can't find the exact parameters
of the Julia, but any one will work. Just remember to set a really
high max_trace_level (20-30) as these objects are complex.

It was initially rendered upon a black background, just to test the
effect. Now that I don't have the source, I was forced to do a (dumb)
background in PhotoShop. Sorry, call me a cheater if you wish, but I
liked the colors and this thing just looked ugly on a plain black bg.

This is so beautiful.  It has a kind of innocent look about it
asthough a 3 year old child had drawen it with his or her
fingers.  

The blackness of the background is apsilutely stunning,  you
might want to look at an image a few posts up of a glass cube, it
has a very similar background to your own but in blue and without
any of the "mad artist" features.

I hope to get a scanner one day.

Cheers
Steve

'media' + 'julia_fractal', who would have ever thought it possible. Well,
anyway, it looks like a iridescent balloon popping in a stop-action photo.
Bet you could tell someone that who didn't know POV-Ray and they would
believe you.
Photoshop backdrop isn't a bad thing, I used a digital photograph as
backdrop of a render I did of my parents house. Makes a rendered model
look all the better.

How do you get these Fractal shapes?, O have ssen this twisty thing several
times before, How do you make it?

Or is it just my fault, for relying on Moray?

This is a POV primative called 'julia_fractal' which is not available
in Moray. The other primatives that Moray doesn't support (yet) are, I
think, quadric, quartic and poly (Well, quadrics? Maybe yes, they
aren't that complex to polygonise, I guess. Haven't seen moray since
the days of the official POV 2.2 CD, so don't quote me on this).

The bottomline of all this is that you'll have to play around with
pure POV code. Don't worry, the POVWIN 3.1 editor is really cool :)

BTW if there's enough interest I might post the parameters of some
fractals I like.

Ahh, beautiful. I really should explore this particular object a bit more,
it seems it has interesting possibilities.

Whoo... This image adds another dimension to the fractals around :-) a really
sickening feeling, according to me. but its kewl all the same... I like it.
