[REQ] Fractal suggestion

xrok1

something like this? done with slicer. would be handy.

Or something like the Koch snowflake ? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractal#History
I just made 4 lines in a componant, and 4 componants in an other componant, and 4 of this componant in a new componant, and... A manualy recursivity

An other test with the Sierpinski tetraedron (same method) :

This is fractal

Fractal geometry is one of the many reasons I wanted to get into Ruby scripting. I would love to tackle such a beast some day. I'd like to bring in fractal equations for all my randomozing scripts too. Fractals make great shapes, but the geometry behind it can also make incredible decisions for color and geometry placement in actual models. Ahh some day Frenchy. I suppose a 2d fractal generator would be quite possible?

Watch out for hi poly

Hehe, I've never been very fond of keeping things low poly.

Me, either. But I have hardware limitations, and Sketchup has poly limitations. If those did not exist, I would think that fractal tools would be "de rigeur" for any modeling program. (Just thought I would throw in a little French for our diverse audience, eh Pilou?)
