Hi to all,

While exploring the world of 2D and 3D attractors - exploration NOT yet finished
but I rendered quite a bunch - I had the idea to look for something that makes
2D attractors still more attractive. I thought about using a density map but
what I found was far beyond my skills - at least for now.

Well, to put it in a nutshell:
I remembered Ilya Razmanov's 'Img2mesh' converter.
Installed Python 3.14 and gathered the necessary Img2mesh files and after using
some Gaussian blur on my attractor image (see original img resized to 800x600 on
the left, 200k spheres) I fed it to 'Img2mesh'.

A 'quick and dirty' job! I didn't pay attention to the size of my original POV
image (1600x1200 px) but 'Img2mesh' ate it and spat out a 144 Mb POV file in no
more than 2 minutes.

I did not expect too much - I used the output file as is - and, wonders never
cease - after 49 minutes I got a result that almost knocked me off the rocker
(see img resized to 800x600 on the right).

Ilya, great job and I will dive into your 'Slimy Mudhole'!

Cheers
Droj
