This is a great point, Anthony, and while I like your suggestion, I don't see a way to integrate a 3D fractal in Poser.

I have, however come up with something effective but simple.

Assuming the fractal cloud (C) is roughly sinusoidal (with suitable randomness applied, of course) in the range 0 to 1, it can be converted to something very close to a trochoid like this.

1 - Abs(2C - 1)

I modified my plugin to use that and here is the result.


Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
