This is a series of images created from spatial compositions produced using fractal functions.
The 3D models were constructed with AutoCAD, using fractal AutoLisp routines developed by the author.
Selected perspective views of the models were digitally processed to produce the final images.
 

SURFACES	LAYOUTS
This is a transformation of the typical Mandelbrot set into a surface: Using fractal functions, each (x,y) node of a 3D mesh is associated with a z-value instead of a colour. Parameters like grid density, z-scale or x, y limits can be adjusted by the user. Spotlights add colour & shadows to the scene. [created in 1993 using AutoCAD r12 & 3D-Studio 4]	Here is a method to imitate the seemingly random layout of vernacular villages: A number of generic blocks is spread over an inclined plane; the position, x/y/z scale and rotation of each block is adjusted using fractal functions. The user can select the size & slope of the plane, the blocks to be used, as well as their density & scaling range. [created in 1996 using AutoCAD r12, AccuRender 2 & PhotoStyler 2]
Mandelbrot surface seen from above. A side view. A part of the Mandelbrot surface.	A group of coloured volumes on a white slope. A Santorini-like view, fully computer generated The same view as above, with emphasized edges. The above image enhanced with a twilight atmosphere. Plan of the above layout. A similar composition: Blocks floating within an imaginary sphere (made with a routine developed in order to create random tree leaves).
