Been a long while since I have had a play with Povray. Just did this
for a bit of fun. Makes quite a nice desktop image I think, what do you
think?

Could also make a very cool animation if you zoom the fractal while
keeping the segments in the same place. (Maybe spin the camera around a
bit.) Would probably look something like a disco floor...

I've been dabbling with some animations but I am having some issues.
I tried to do an animation making the tile sizes progressively smaller
but for some reason the rendering times increased so much I could not do
it. This is really weird because if I render a single frame from the
middle of the animation it renders really quickly. (<1 min compared to
over 8 mins in the anim)
I will keep dabbling anyway.
Dave.

I never really 'got' the appeal of the Mandlebrot set, especially as the
zoomed-out static image. It looks like a squashed bug or inkblot thing. :P

Squashed Bug... That is exactly what it is ;)
Its the fact that it is created from a very simple mathematical formula
that captured my imagination and kept me interested.

sounds to me like a memory-leak issue. Are you using an older version
of POV-Ray ?

Installed the latest version and all is good.
Thanks Zeger

You're a Rorschach test on fire,
You're a day-glo pterodactyl,
You're a heart-shaped box of springs and wire,
You're one badass fucking fractal.

<loon> A naked woman, death's head, a pair of compasses... oh yeah, and
the Mandelbrot set.
<shrink> Right. I'm prescribing you three chapters of Bronshtein &
Semendyayev a day, to be taken after meals.
<loon> *Three*chapters*? I really *will* go mad!
