I am tring too play around with Julian fractals in povray.... but it
seems that they have ABSOLUTELY no color.... meaning they are black...
how do i color the fractal.. the attached file is my pov file that i'm
using top test it...... PLEASE help me!

The easy answer to your question is to add a texture
and pigment to your object. Where you have:
#declare Default =
texture{
pigment{rgb<1,0,1>}
finsish{ phong 1}
}
julia_fractal {the stuff you put here}
You need to add texture{Default} like this to make it work:
julia_fractal {the stuff you put here texture{Default}}
It will then work correctly. I saw a light green background with
a purple looking julia fractal image when I rendered it. Pretty
neat looking too : )

Thanks... now i'm tring to render this Fractal :
#declare W = 5
#declare P = 3.141592
#declare D = 21
#declare J = 47
#declare K = 640
julia_fractal {
<-0.083,0.0,-0.83,-0.025>
hypercomplex
pwr(cos(W*P),max(exp(J/D)/P,K/P*W))
max_iteration 9
precision 40
pigment {
Blue
}
}
so far 10% in 20 minutes on a P120 with 24MB RAM....

Complex julias (i.e. using those bizarre fxns like pow, atanh etc.) aren't
the fastest things to render, especially if the camera in inside the object.
I had the latter problem once and Ken nicely pointed it out to me, so make
sure POV doesn't report a "Camera is inside a non-hollow object" message.

As Ken pointed, you need a texture. I have done several animations of julias
in which the object swirls and morphs, and I think that what looks best as a
texture is something like:
texture
{ pigment { White }
finish { diffuse 1 ambient 0 brilliance 2.25 specular 0.6 roughness 0.005
phong 0.3 phong_size 6.675 metallic 0.5 }
}
Light up the julia with several differently coloured light sources and it
looks really nice.

Thanks for the tip on the lights and on your previous post on camera in the
fractal..... and as soon as I get a better pic of the fractal (the newone..the
code is in povray tutorial newsgroup) i'll post it in Images....
