Thanks Mark Looks like a curved surface Kaleidescope, not quite quadrant or rather two equatorial axii of symmetry sets since there is a specularity polarity (woo say that one fast!!!). Must be recursions set to, what, 50x ??? Would like to see refraction cranked up as well!!
The ability to do nice flowing abstract patterns in RS must be phenomenal. For my part, I have always always found such patterns void of spirit. No soul. No human error and foibles. Just me. I'm an expressionist I guess. Cant stand most of the screensavers that come out using similar optical algorithms. In art each and every part of each and every object/event in the universe may be offered as an art object. The trick is in deciding which ... and that makes the artist or breaks them of course. Just two cents while waiting for renders on both machines. :-) N. ________________________________ From: Mark Heuymans <[email protected]> To: Reallist <[email protected]> Sent: Wed, 27 January, 2010 12:21:55 PM Subject: internal reflections Hi all, In 2009 I've been revisiting internal reflections and 'Wada basins' (thanks and cheers to Charles Henry of course!). One example, scaled down from 3000 pixels wide.: http://www.athanor3d.com/pub/restore03c1small.jpg These things are too impractical to do in real life, but RS is the perfect simulation tool because of its mathematically perfect analytical spheres and VSL! Much more in the archives... -Mark H
