A curling, fractal based volumetric object.

RAW data 400x400x400 8-bit zipped

PNG codec AVI 400x400x400

PLY isosurface mesh 1.14M polygons

STL isosurface mesh (reduced) 495K polygons

This is from my series of volumetric objects created to help people explore the differences between polygonal and volumetric representations of objects.
