Having recently read a book written by the pioneer of fractal dimension concept, I admire this work both by its concept and execution!

Thanks!

I was very surprised to see a comment so soon, I submitted this deviation less than an hour ago.

I very much appreciate your encouraging comments.

I'd love to know who's book you're talking about and the title.

Thanks again

Congratualtions Don!...perhaps a model of the Electric Sheep of the future!
Great work!

Holy cow. This is simply amazing!!!!!!!! *stares at it for a good few minutes* Haha, I had techno music playing when I first opened this, and it was really cool watching it to techno music because it looks like one of those movies where the camera goes around a really cool building or a setting that's a high climax of the movie. Well executed! I can't wait till we get to the part where we animate the fractal while we rotate the camera... then I'd be in a heaven ABOVE heaven

Wonderful job!

Excellent work Don! Coming along VERY nicely indeed!

Thanks,

After nearly a full year of pulling my hair out, the dream is starting to become a reality.

Thank you,

Rotating the camera is a lot simpler since the volume is axis-aligned, I kind of wish I didn't have the checkerboard floor because it doesn't animate well in the distance, but it does help you see the refraction effect.

I started working on getting the rotating transforms today, it shouldn't be hard to do, but it means the volume will have to be generated once for each frame, currently it's created only once and copies are sent out for each frame to render. So... the whole thing will take longer to run by a few minutes per frame. Like you I'm very anxious to see how it looks!

Thanks again for your comments.

Chris,

Thanks, I really hope it can be widely accepted somewhere in the future, but even if not, I can't think of anything I'd rather be doing.

I'm glad you like it, I really value your opinion.
