"Subjects observed with this stage of infection have been recorded as
having three or more of a limb type such as arms or legs, the head may
become misshapen and elongate or widen out, parts of the subject may
split open from which additional branches of flesh will grow. "
This is old news. The government has been using genes derived from this
life form since the early Sixties to grow the "meat stock" necessary to
produce "Spam." I just wish I wasn't true.

Thats for sure!!!
Is this pic zoomed into the side of one of the cubic type fractals??

I vaguely understand what you're describing, but making it work would be quite
an accomplishment. That makes your fractal images even more impressive!
Cavity shading would be a really cool thing to have built-in to POV!

Have you discovered some new kind of life there?

Spectacular stuff. I love the naturalistic, complex look of the corals and
broccoli-like structures, but the icosidodecahedron (or whatever is was) is
wonderful too.
What sort of render times are you looking at?

I don't always explain myself well :( The shading function is just one
extra line of code, and really needs some more work.

Yes, it would be cool, but you can't apply it to any object. Mine works
because it uses almost the same function which produced the isosurface
in the first place; the surface is intimately tied to the shader function.

That's why I provided the link.

Yep, and I didn't have to go very far. One could theoretically zoom in
forever, without a loss detail, but of course no computer will allow
that. I still have yet to try a truly deep zoom, but it becomes more
difficult to manipulate the camera after a while :)
