80 days for a subject and art form that helped established 3D Computer Graphics, Modern Video Games, 3D texture and shader basics, the understanding of natural forms and possibly even the very building blocks of the universe itself? Wow.

Head ===> Desk.... ... ... ... ...

Suggesting that members beg for this gallery section to be reinstated seems to be slightly insulting and even a little patronising in my opinion, as it's really quite hard to understand why it was removed in the first place? Maybe explaining this a little more would help, as the reason given so far don't really seem to add up?

The Fractal gallery was definitely active, Renderosity magazine less then two months ago reviewed a fractal artist here: Interview with Renderosity artist claude19

There have been 100's of fractal images uploaded to the galleries since the start of October from a large number of site members: https://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/?search=Fractal&date_start=10/01/2016&date_end=11/04/2016

If the gallery is reinstated, which in my opinion it should be, will all of the old images automatically be repopulated to it? It would be a shame if that wasn't the case as members spent a lot of time and work building that gallery space and it has been a part of the Renderosity art gallery structure for well over a decade.

Never mind Leonard at least you still have a whole gallery section devoted to the photos of other peoples Furkids...

Here is a short video about fractals for those who aren't really sure what all the fuss is about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tN_eNQFcv5E
