Wonderful worlds of recursion. I would really love to see those objects fabricated physically precisely into atomic level of detail .)

Mindblowing. So much to learn! :-)
Thanks for sharing.

Amazing work!!

Edward - master of the ray - this fractals are absolutly fascinating!!!
Now I think everybody can do his own experiments and explore unknown fractal space... ;-)
Thank you for publishing this amazing sketch!

Uploaded a new version which fills in the image faster. If you right click on the scene selection it brings up web information on that fractal. Also if you press 'o' it goes into opengl mode which is significantly faster. As mentioned above, if you download the app, and run it, if you find a nice camera shot, press 'm' to output the information about it. Copy that line of text into camerashots.txt file in the same folder to get that scene in the app. If you post that line of text here in the comments, I'll add it to the sketch.

Fractalicious! And quite responsive too :-)

wowza, mad respect!

ok, I like

<enter name>,<enter desc>,<enter hlink>,4,-1.9442687,0.26660874,-1.5375192,2.3334615,0.21389107,true,true

Thanks a lot!

Cheers, I added it as polar's place and added two new locations myself.

Wow, arrestingly speed and fantastic lightning/shadowing/coloring.
Never thought that is is possible with processing.
Here some suggestions for improvements for selecting & saving pictures and switching flags (which needs some better explanations).

boolean toggleFlag(String info, boolean flag) {
println(info + ": " + !flag);
return !flag;
}
void keyPressed() {
if ((key>='0')&&(key<='9')) scIndex=key-48;
if (key=='n') scIndex=(scIndex+1)%Scenes.length;
if (key=='g') save ("Scene"+scIndex+".png");
if (key=='b') approxbounce = toggleFlag (" approximate bounce", approxbounce);
if (key=='c') calcAO = toggleFlag (" calcAO", calcAO);
if (key=='e') earlystep = toggleFlag (" early step", earlystep);
if (key=='f') flashlight = toggleFlag (" flash light", flashlight);
if (key=='i') aoonly = toggleFlag (" aoonly", aoonly);
if (key=='k') shownormal = toggleFlag (" show normal", shownormal);
if (key=='l') noalbedo = toggleFlag (" noalbedo", noalbedo);
if (key=='o') openglmode = toggleFlag (" opengl mode", openglmode);
if (key=='p') tritapao = toggleFlag (" tri tap ao", tritapao);
if (key=='r') doreflection = toggleFlag (" do reflection", doreflection);
if (key=='t') diffonly = toggleFlag (" difference only", diffonly);
if (key=='w') g_camControl.forward(1.);
if (key=='s') g_camControl.forward(-1);
if (key=='a') g_camControl.side(1.);
if (key=='d') g_camControl.side(-1);
if (key==' ') g_menu.select(false);
if (key=='m') { Shot s=new Shot(); s.save(); println(s.write()); }
g_frameStep=0;
g_genBlkInfo=true;
}

respect!

Beautiful. thank you!

Such good quality renderings. Shows how powerful processing is, and what an extraordinary programmer you are!

You have showed how the Math looks like inside:) Amazing! What about usage og peasycam?

Fantastic work, edward.

I am trying to develop some interesting camera functions and animations from your work, but I need the source of the 2 included libraries "core.jar" and "portlib.jar", holding the WorkItem.class

Will you provide the source, or link to where they originate? Thanks! :)

Can anyone tell me what the surf.x variable does?
It doesn't seem to do anything when I change its values around,
thanks!

Amazing work Edward - thank you for sharing..

This is really great, probably the best I've seen on OpenProcessing, however, it is very bad that it requires some binary libraries "core.jar" and "portlib.jar" because than I can't learn the whole storry from the code. Is it possible to obtaint source code of these libraries somewhere?

I got an error msg saying:

Display 0 does not exist, using the default display instead.
java.lang.NullPointerException
at processing.core.PApplet.main(Unknown Source)

Does anyone know how to solve it?

Little help please..i'm getting this error while i try to run.
"Display 0 does not exist, using the default display instead.
The file "camerashots.txt" is missing or inaccessible, make sure the URL is valid or that the file has been added to your sketch and is readable."

fast raytracing and great subject matter ...
I need to poke around with this some more

@Burcea & Debbie: try removing core.jar from the code folder. It worked for me.
