Up until now, whenever I have looked at a 2D Mandelbrot zoom, my imagination would take the bands of color, and translate them into topographical bands of elevation in a descending order, such that I could imagine looking in, and in, and in towards the little midget Mandelbrot in the center. However, the result of rendering a Mandelbrot zoom in Bryce, such as you have done here, produces an image with the appearance of a textured design that is all on the same plane, that is to say, on one surface. In other words, the resulting image looks like a fantastically intricate wood carving or engraving. Now I'm spoiled, and will never be quite as able to enjoy the run-of-the-mill 2D Mandelbrot zoom. Perhaps it's time for me to purchase Bryce myself. Oh no, another program to spend hours getting acquainted with. (Incidentally, one of the people that was responsible for the creation of Bryce was one of professor Mandelbrot's students.) Dave
