Default Re: Fractal Function Original/Concept Pics?

You'd be better off with some other type of primitive, as an almost flat, thin object is invisible or nearly so at an angle. Then there's distortion of the pictures on the side as it turns.

A sphere might be your best bet, or an ovaloid. The problem with the fractal patterns in a 3d engine is that, to TRULY make them, you'd need large numbers of triangles, which would eat video memory like crazy.

It isn't impossible, mind you, just something that I think would be on the trying side.
