G'day fellow Maxwellians!

This one is a 12 hour rendering i did of 3 seashell style fractal meshes i generated with XenoDream and then imported into 3dsmax for scene setup and rendering with Maxwell.
Other than that there's not much to say about this other than that i luv fractals

Hi Maximus,

Based on some of your other posts, I bought XenoDream as well. Been playing with it, it's cool (I love fractals as well!). I don't have the hang of it yet; the first model I tried rendered all night (before I finally stopped it). Then, when I created a mesh, it was more than 2 million polys! I can't even open it in LW or Polygon Cruncher to reduce the poly count! I knwo you can comtrol this, but I don't have the hang of it yet. Kindof' cool...

Maximus - very cool image. I love that stuff. How many polys are those objects?

Heya!

I'm happy you liked this one, i kinda like it too even tho it took 12 hours to compute heh.

mtripoli: Xenodream isn't that hard to use, when you export your meshes you just gotta keep the size and treshold value at a decent level to get a good looking mesh. My threshold values go from 3-10 and then i set the size to 150-200 depending on the fractal type. And i always smooth my objects quite alot to get rid of some of the blockyness the exporter creates, after that i import the models, smooth them some more in 3dsmax and render them.

Greg: Thanx i'm happy u liked it. The whole scene is only 468,191 polygons. The individual objects are as follows..
- Brown dog poo thingy look alike fractal to the left: 171,229 polygons
- Brown seashell type fractal against wall: 51,911 polygons
- Seashell closest to camera: 236,182 polygons
