Hi everyone,
This series of images will serve as my contribution for today's
installment of the time-honored tradition known as The Friday Abstract.
Each image is the result of an animation in which every last frame
becomes input for the next. The initial pattern is colored, translated
and rotated randomly to produce these IFS-like fractal patterns.
I hope you enjoy these images.
Sam

Incredibly cool. Could you provide a sample code for those of us (me, anyway)
too dense to see, from your description, exactly how you're doing this?
Thanks!

Well, it helps that you can do so much with POV. It's very open-ended.

Thank you for the feedback.
The file has been dropped at p.b.scene-files.

Stunning. And the technique seems so obvious -- NOW!

To be honest you made a good job in the past to set the bar of
expectation high for everything new you post here -- but as always you
never fail to amaze me by the way with which you each and every time
fulfill that expectation with seemingly no effort at all :) It's been a
long time since I've seen technical and artistic talent combined in such
a wonderful way. Thanks!
BTW, 4 is my favourite.
Regards,
Florian

Yes, it can, and I have done it. I don't prefer that method, since it
requires MegaPOV, a patch which doesn't support multiple cpu cores.
Slower render times mean slower development times.

Thanks! I think fractals such as these can be useful for coming up with
new scene ideas. Number four, for example, can be a sort of template for
some kind of spacecraft or alien city.

Thank you. The method can also be used for motion blur (using Rune's
illusion.inc) and other effects.

I don't know if I'm a Grand Master, but thanks :) It helps that POV is
such a great program. I can't wait for POV's eventual evolution toward a
more open-ended environment.

Thank you for the comments. I'm just encouraging the community to try

Yes. If it were green-based, it would surely be related to vorlons.
