Description
Mandelbulb 3D v1.9.0 ALPHA1DEcombinate in Min mode using: SphereHeightMap (x3)/_PolyFold-sym/ABoxPlatinum/Sierpinski3/_boxtiling/_reciprocalY3
A fractal imagining of an autonomous starship construction and maintainance facility or 'Graving Yard', where vessels of
all types, functions and sizes are kept in peak operational condition.
I'd like to think this image fits the visual interpretations of readers of the 'Culture' novels by the late Iain M. Banks .
So much so that I've attempted to include a humungous GSV or General Systems Vehicle in the scene!
My thanks to Hal Tenny for sharing his brilliant formula setup, which allowed me to achieve the 'thin things' here!

Sweet, and such a great Dif map on the structures. I still haven't gotten a ship positioned and mapped so that I'm happy with it, but still working on it. Great job all around Mark!

Cheers Hal, I'm very relieved that you approve mate! 
Hopefully Andreas will find some time to look at the issue of positioning geometrical diffmaps,
as they don't always accurately conform to the objects shape, even in wrap2 mode.
And yes, positioning the ships was not a particularly pleasurable experience!!
I may gird up my loins and put in a feature request on FF....

Maybe it's just me but I only notice the larger vessels. An interesting vision, nevertheless.

Well, there's only three vessels there, and they're pretty big!

That's good to hear, I thought I was going selectively blind.
Cheers.
