  Macros that produce highly complex scenes (Message 1 to 8 of 8)

Does anyone know of any cool macros that produce generated scenes with an
appearance of high complexity? I have seen several such macros that
recursively build things. I am looking for ones I can use to generate very
large (resolution) images containing many objects of different sizes. I want
the images to appear VERY busy.

Thanks,

Mike

I'm not sure why you are asking in this group but a few isosurfaces can be
enough.

Wasnt there a pipe macro a while back - Ken?

How about Gilles Tran's madpipe macro/include?

Wow, that thing is amazing! Are there any other similar macros that produce
highly complex looking structures?

Thanks,

Mike

This group, povray.binaries.programming, is for binary postings that are 
related to programming, particularly things that deal with the POV-Ray 
source code such as patches. Your message belongs in a group like 
povray.general or povray.advanced-users.

How about looking into modelling some complex systems. Try this link, it
might satisfy you:

htt://www.stephenwolfram.com/publications/articles/ca/

There you will find articles on what are called cellular automata, extremely
simple programs that can produce extremely complicated behaviour. It may
not be your kettle of fish, but at the very least it points out that to
rpoduce complexity doesn't require a complex algorithm or program.

Try some simple macro's, you may suprise yourself.
