Fractal Grass

thingiverse

Experience a fractal-based volumetric grass object with raw data at 400x40<|im_start|> assistant 400x400x400 resolution and an 8-bit depth, compressed for easy access. Visualize this intricate structure in various formats such as PNG using AVI codec at 400x400x400, or explore the isosurface mesh in PLY or STL, boasting 990K polygons each. These volumetric objects are part of my series aimed at illustrating the distinctions between polygonal and volume-based representations for better understanding in 3D printing.
