Hi, I just started using POVRay and I am quite fascinated by it. Having played around with some simple shapes I would now like to generate raytraced fractal images. I know how to make 3D projections in farctint and there is of course ray trace option but I am not sure how to proceed. Any help would be very welcome! Thanks, Roelof. There is 1 Reply. Read action !

You can start by attaching some fractal gifs to simple objects to get the hang of image_mapping. From there, play with alpha values to "cut out" pieces of the object within the fractal pattern. Then try some height_fields. The docs are pretty thourough in these areas but if you have questions, that is what this forum is for. Have fun!! I have been at this for about 10 months and am hopelessly addicted! <G> Robert Read action !
