I had quite a bit of downtime during my time in Montana. With no internet available on your computer you discover lots of little settings to tweak, and tend to experiment with a lot of stuff. In this case, I spent lots of time fiddling and tinkering with fractals in Apophysis. Not so much rendering lots of stuff, but working on one or two fractals for a long time, rendering, rendering another version, rendering another version AGAIN, and learning the program a little more. With this I went through 3 or 4 versions until I finally found the right one. (You can see them at )

I usually only use 2-4 triangles, but here I upped that number to six. I also incorporated some the variations that I hadn’t used before. (zcone, pre and post rotate) and didn’t just use the 3D-specific variations. I quite like the lattice-like structure this fractal has. It reminds me of some of the fractals that I’ve done using the “popcorn” variation, which the 3D hack, unfortunately, does not have.
