Vortex lines simulation, lines
rendered as tubes, no interreflection calculation. It
looks like gray spaghetti in deep space. Yum.

A sculpture of pipes reminiscent
of the standard sci-fi "endless tower" theme: endless,
mechanical, impersonal.

Overhead parallel view of
a pipes mesh structure. Strange meanings come to mind every
time I see this one.

you can see Mambo Number 5 from here.

This simulation took the shape of a
bat skeleton, and after running an ambient solution with
soft shadows, this is what I have; the original is 8kx8k;

Early still frame from an animation
from a 3D turbulence front-tracking fluid dynamics code that
I am working on. This is a circular jet issuing into a
cross-flow, a classic smokestack problem.
