Description
A Julia bicomplex fractal resting on a world sized sphere, and one light source.Rendered with code I wrote myself.
The grain is on purpose, I wanted it to have a film like quality to it, in addition to being B/W.
The occasional "tearing" of the surface is because I choose fast rendering over more precise surface detection, but there is so few of it I doubt most people will even notice them.

Good Lord, my inbox just exploded.
Thank you very much for all the comments and
s, I'll try and get around to all of you. Apologies in advance if I don't.And a huge thank you to ^FarDareisMai for the feature and =mutequacky for the suggestion.
As I'm trying to move in a new direction (for me at least
) with fractal and 3D rendering, this DD means a lot to me.

Cube is a great film, it alone made me by a DVD player.

I think of the bicomplex fractals as a heavy dented 8 sided dice, but coral do fit as well.

I don't know if you can tell, but I love fractals. For me, this was an insta-fave!

They do look alike, and both are quite interesting subjects. Growing a Bismuth crystal might be easier to do though.

But I just had to say that this is really amazing, and I love what you did with the grainyness. I really like the edginess.

Thanks. I like B/W photography, so it was bound to rub off on the CGI.

It kind of does, or like city in space.
hmmm, I wonder if there could be a nice render of it like space city.

A rare subject even in science fiction, not that it stops me from thinking about how that would be constructed and how it would work.
Imagine what it takes to create the international space station (ISS), and then try to scale that up to something the size of a city.

oh, leik halo and such? wouldn't you really just need some kind of device that use alchemy on the elements? (eg using the power of the sun directly to harness the heat and electricity[solar pwr] to turn debris into silicon, soil and such?) and then bring some plant seeds up there?? 0_o? "currently in chemistry and and fairly avid in quarks and such"

I love Cunningham's work, even bought his DVD. His (video) version of Autechre's Gantz Graf is amazing.
I've thought of doing something similar with fractals/chaos. Maybe that unconsciously did influence me with this piece.
Thank you for the flattering comparison.
