1. Purpose

Raytraces four-dimensional mandelbrotjulia-fractals and 3D-spheres using a slow raywalking technique.

2. Examples

These represent my development / learning curve.

2.1. Fractal animations

4. Thanks

Limitless thanks to my friend raytracing expert Warp (http://iki.fi/warp/) for his vector math knowledge, raytracing expertice, and patience with me :)

5. Platform

The programs write TGA files to stdout, and have been written in C++.
They can be compiled with 2.95-series gcc at least.
