Thanks - an elven palace would probbably be best done using IFS :)

When I eventually get around to writing class-based raytracing for UF :)

what's that?

Which ? Class-based formulas or UF ?
Ultra Fractal is the fractal software I use - [link] - and it allows you to write fractal (and other mathematical) formulas for the creation of images.
The latest version - UF5 - has classes allowing OOP.

Now you wouldn't eat a hobbit out of house and home ?
Or would you.... :D

I should add that they are a variety of mushroom - a hobbit's favourite food :)

It seems like the shapes already are more or less exhausted on this, but the colours can add a lot to it :)

Actually, (it's probably quite complicate, but) you might want to consider to allow several 3D Fractals in one scene so you could compose a near-real world out of them :D

I am working towards creating a suite of class-based ray-tracing formulas that will let you do exactly that (without even needing multiple layers).

Don't forget we haven't really started on the Mandelbulb Julias yet, or in fact on formulas other than z^p+c :)

:iconkram1032:
kram1032 Featured By Owner Dec 10, 2009
yeah, that's true too, of course :)

Can't wait for that :)

Well, *some* julias already where created - one of the best being the Juliaberry sofar :)

So you'll basically rebuild a (basic but more modern, hopefully) PoV-ray?

(AFAIK, PoVRay could benefit a lot from a total rewrite... - especially when OpenCL starts to get more popular which of course isn't yet the case...)

Not really a rewrite of PovRay since it's unlikely I'll manage to get it that photorealistic - as with all my formulas I'll be concentrating on quick'n'dirty methods that produce good results as fast as possible within UF ;)

as said, basic but hopefully more modern ;)

Not actually the full thing. :)
