shiny new technology back in the early 1990s, and I was first published writing
about ray-tracing and animation in books by Que and SAMs (Macmillan Computer
Publishing) nearly 30 years ago!

After using the new versions of Blender (2.8+) and other 3D software to create


coming home :)


spirals. After a year long hiatus from POV-Ray I rendered a couple of different

started dabbling with some new scenes based on spirals.

This image is the result of one of those many experimental scenes: 25 concentric
logarithmic spirals with randomly generated metallic materials and a
crystalline, spherical gem at the origin.


Cheers,
Rob

Welcome back indeed. I hope we shall see more from you. As always, 
stunning image with those excellent materials.

Thanks Thomas!

I forgot to mention before that the spirals are all sphere sweeps, and there are
only 24, not 25, that was a typo :)

I made a few minor adjustments and rendered this closeup of the orb this
afternoon. I love how procedural textures and objects just show you more levels
of detail as you zoom in.

Cheers,
Rob

For some reason looking at this makes my brain hurt.
