How is it a fractal? Do you use infinite amount of points for it?
Good point. It is a somewhat abusive use of the term but not unjustified.
The first step is the voronoi subdivision of an encompassing volume. In the second step, I repeat the same process with each Voronoi cell serving as the encompassing value. And then again with each new subcell, and again,.…
This is a typical process to approach fractal detail, hence the name.
Remark: this kind of iterative subdivision is not the same as just doing a subdivision with more points. Each level division imposes structural limits to the deeper cells, creating a kind of superstructure.
gud lord, how much time did it take to render!
Nothing spectacular, a few seconds…
