I know, already thought about making the waves smaller, but feared that
the caustics would get too uniform.

At least the water line looks very straight so i will probably try it
sometime, but i suppose it would be indeed quite a bit slower, especially
for the radiosity calculations.

It is indeed RMF, because of the sharp ridges it's usually better for more
turbulent water, so maybe i should change it.

Sorry, not sure what you mean with that.

That's the reason why I often wish to have a laptop - sadly those things
are quite expensive.

Oh, i didn't mention it , but it actually uses radiosity, without i
suppose the render time would be just half of it.

A very intriguing image! Reminds me of Escher, though he didn't use this
theme to do an infinity picture, IIRC. I like the effects of
reflections.

I not exactly sure either. Guess I had the current IRTC topic in mind.
I like that topic because I recall a fellow grad student who did sculptures
based on bunkers. They used bunker shapes
to suggest ideas ranging from our need for inner security to the unexpected
beauty of armaments. Your combination of what might be a
fortress structure with the use of recursive forms may lead to something
transendent. Guess that is what I was thinking but I hesitated to be so
specific.

Hmm... the lighting intensities seem radiositish indeed, but it's too
desaturated for a ocean-and-clear-blue-sky-and-bright-yellow-sun
picture. Maybe decrease (or increase? I can't grasp these things)
gray_threshold and/or use a more saturated yellow for the light source
and blue for the sky.

I'm not sure about that, gray_threshold is 0.0 an the sky is quite blue as
you can see from the water. Of course i could make the sun more yellow.
OTOH especially in maritime environment, it can be quite hazy which would
weaken the colors.

Thanks,
when making this recursive macro I also had the impression that ir
reminded me of something I had seen before, but I did not consciously
think of Escher. Anyway there seem to be indeed some similarities.

Come to think of it, maybe the fractal structure *does* take enough
color from the surroundings, it's all the blue around it that tricks
te eye.

Cool! Fractals, architecture, photons, ridged surface - this pic has it all!
