Fractal palettes for texturing
Fractal palettes or look-up tables are shown to add texture to smooth objects drawn by ray tracing. Fractal palettes offer rapid texturing in scenes where each object may be associated with its own palette, enabling interactive generation of textures and exploration of the effect of changing them. The fractalisation technique itself, the fractal dimension and the profile of the original palette are user-determined features which provide some control over the computation of a potentially large set of textures.
