Today's post is a 3D zoom into Terraces_of_Fire, Jim Muth's FOTD for
June 6, 2010. This fractal has interesting steps and little structures
that look like bleachers.ctually The coloring method is TDIS which enhances the
step effect. Here is a link to an image from inside the fractal:

I also made a Quicktime animation (10 sec, 9.6 Mb) that flies down one
of the valleys:

It took Fracton 57 hours to make the model on my 2 core PowerPC Mac.

You need a faster Mac!

The
3D image and animation are rendered in Cheetah 3D. Here is a link to
Jim's original web page of the fractal:

The flight's nice. Might look more fractal if you could give the srufaces some kind of "fractal-looking" texture in Cheetah 3D.
