This was a fun quick experiment:
Using an old photo I took in the forest, I used ml-sharp to generate gaussian splats from it, voxelized it in my toy renderer, relit the scene dramatically.

Coloring a fractal is interesting in itself. Finding good colors is tricky. Applying them to the "right parts" is tricky.
Here's a comparison of off-white vs a value that's displaced relative to the folding for each iteration (then mapped to a color ramp).

Seanterelle's #Blender geometry node tutorial is fun to play with: https://youtu.be/1i8CbRqq6xQ
The exported model is then rendered in my #MetalRT toy renderer.
