…which is why you should have used minimum area threshold instead of fixed iteration count

I did warn you!

I think that the triangle count should be around 2*2^(maxSteps/2), which for 180 would produce
2,475,880,078,570,760,000,000,000,000 triangles…

I changed maxSteps to 180 and it crashed Firefox. Cool app though!

Sure, that’s the next step. The concept in the demo is actually 100% 2D and 3D is there just as a ‘decorative’ element. 3D is in my mind though, just still thinking how exactly it would be cool to investigate it. Ideas welcome.

Fractals are always win. However, I think in 3D you've gotta do it 3D :p I want to do real-time animation of this at some point...
