I sort of knew it wasn't little blocks stuck together, but I was hoping
that it was done with a fractal formula and that we could modify it to
develop other fractal shapes.

Hey it's pretty good. If the sponge were a little smaller and the trees a
little larger, i can picture it as some sort of hidden ruin of an ancient
civilization. There's no hidding this one though :)
I can also see some small woodland creatures taking up living arrangements
in it.
What was the original intent?
peace,
ross

It probably can be made that way, if you generate the formula with
a recursive algorithm (sort of lsystem, maybe ?).
#declare formula = {
#while loop..
#declare frequency = frequency*2;
+ sub_formula_using_frequency_as_a_parameter
#increment loop..
#end loop.
}

Pretty nice!
It feels like a fractal isosurface of some sort!
I gotta get a hand on those isosurfaces, I still have only povray!

That was the plan, but it would multiply the amount of work already put
into it about tenfold... I s'pose blob-men would be great, but no cars!

They're my age-old macro... look very strange with no leaves, like in my
"grotesque".

:))))) I will
each axis is made of a bunch of nested if(,,), and the three are intersected
using &.

maybe if I ditch the trees and turn down max_trace_level from 100 <G>

You can do this in isosurface? cool

Office building. But that requires more landscaping than I was willing to put
in at the moment. :)
