I've been playing around with my 'CreateFractalHeightmapTileable' function (code archive link below) trying to extend it to work in three dimensions so that I can generate 3D tileable animated images for billowing clouds, water, etc. The code below is an early incomplete attempt that didn't quite go to plan. We are not yet in the 'success' space.

The fun thing about working with fractals though is that even the mutant abortions often look pretty, so I thought I'd share.

(This code is in the public domain. Feel free to experiment with it.)


EDIT: Still not fixed but I did catch a few bugs and change a few things which show the morphing effect better. Instead of using my time to find the remaining bugs and work on blending the animation frames back to the starting layer I instead spent the time more wisely adding hyperlinked text to the demo.
