Introduction

The images on the following pages are created using one of my favorite toys:

Povray - a freeware raytracing engine.

If you want to know more go Povray!

Meanwhile active over 30 years a huge amount of inbuilt features have been added to Povray since the first MS DOS versions among which is the possibility to render 3D fractals.

The fact that Povray is a SDL-driven program inspired many users to develop their own add-ons and recently Tor Olav Kristensen coded macros which enable the generation of Lindenmayer Systems (L-Systems) with Povray.

Out of nostalgia reasons I also show some objects I created a long time ago using Laurens Lapre's Lparser (a MS DOS program) and Povray.

And last not least see some fractal things I produced in the mid Nineties.
