Over time the structure becomes a mountain.

    I guess your mechanical tree turned into a pyramid :-) Great structure!

    This could, no, should be a hotel. But would take an infinite time to construct!

    beautiful. how was it done? pixel bender ? the fog works pretty well :)

  • Tom Beddard commented at 17 May 2010 at 10:01

    Thanks. The images were rendered using a new fractal renderer I'm working on in Pixel Bender. I'll be releasing it once I'm happy with the final script.

    Awesome, would love to get my hands on this plugin! Just hope Adobe get Pixel Bender working for CS5 soon.

    Great render - I particularly like the rendering style - it has echos of Eschers quality of tone and line

    wow... hopefully it's gonna be released soon - I can't wait to use it! you're doing such a great work!

    Wonderfully done. The depth looks rather astonishing.

    Great work btw, reminds me of a menger sponge or a koch curve.

    Hey Tom, is there any chance of getting a print of the second most complex pyramid image? It would look awesome as large print.

    The Sierpiński Trade Center, maybe?

    The Borg's new fleet!

    amazing. especially the third photo looks so realistic.
    looks so much like a big construction site or architecture.
    great
