Description


This is a composite image I created based on a 3-dimensional fractal solid (shown in a perspective raytraced render on the left of the image). The Fractal is created by starting from a cube, then adding smaller cubes one third the size of the original cube to each of the corners, and applying this rule recursively. A cool property of this fractal is that when viewed from a 45 degree angle looking diagonally through the centre of the cube, and rendered in an isometric (orthogonal) projection, the silhouette of the fractal forms the Koch Snowflake. I have also overlaid an outline of "Metatron's Cube", because the form of the fractal seemed suggestive of it. A Koch Snowflake tesselation is used as a background image (inverted using a circle inversion transform on the left-hand side of the image). The fractals were rendered using a homebrew app, and the image was composited using GIMP.

Fractal geometry at its best...cool composition and interesting information too. I suppose the blur on the thin lines on the right side comes from the image compression, would be great to see this in its original form.
