Reminds me of some of the work of Ryan Geiss (the author of several WinAmp visualizers like Geiss and Milkdrop): <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.geisswerks.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.geisswerks.com&#x2F;</a>

Hee, nostalgic! I used to play around with POV-Ray a lot in the 00s; at that time there were quite a few extremely skilled artist-coders in the community [1]. Shame that the software has since fallen into relative obscurity - I wasn&#x27;t even aware the dwindling developer team actually managed to get a final 3.7 release out in 2013 after years of betas and release candidates.<p>[1] See eg.

... and here I thought the landscape art bot I started yesterday was good. I&#x27;ve got a long way to go. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;LandscapeArtBot" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;LandscapeArtBot</a>

The POV-Ray source files are included. Example: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;mscharrer.net&#x2F;povray&#x2F;liquid_fire&#x2F;2&#x2F;liquid_fire_v2.pov" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;mscharrer.net&#x2F;povray&#x2F;liquid_fire&#x2F;2&#x2F;liquid_fire_v2.po...</a>

I put the source files on Github for easier browsing: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;mscharrer&#x2F;povray_scenes&#x2F;tree&#x2F;master&#x2F;abstract_scenes" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;mscharrer&#x2F;povray_scenes&#x2F;tree&#x2F;master&#x2F;abstr...</a>

Anyone know other nice visualizations of prime numbers? I was particularly struck by this one: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;mscharrer.net&#x2F;povray&#x2F;primes&#x2F;2&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;mscharrer.net&#x2F;povray&#x2F;primes&#x2F;2&#x2F;</a>

About 20 years ago, I did something similar with PolyRay, it even allowed you to do animations.

Anyone know of new, 201*, awesome examples of PovRay usage out on the Internet?
