Re: Fractals ---

I know what fractals are...but there are million kinds, and even moore ways to use them....for instance noise is often fractal based...You used AE as an example......the fractal noise effect is fractal based, as is the lightning plug in, psunami, and many others.....

I would guess that cinemas noise generators are fractal based.....

As far as having cinema create actual objects that are fractal based, that would quickly overwhelm your ram and processing power, unless you could limit the itinterations....

You might take a look at Jenna, as it will likely let you simulate what you described.....

I've long been hoping that a plug for cinema would one day be developed that would create tree/vein like fractals......fractals that would grow over time....Ideally fractal based splines, the could then be extruded/swept......

You could do all kinds of cool effects with such a generator...like growing roots, or mold, or growing veins, or cool borders, veins, etc...
