@Mandelsage mentioned after his last pong (which you can see here) that the CitrusIFS formula wasn't really changing the fractal much, so that's what I swapped out today. I picked one at random, and that ended up being ColumnsIFS, which seemed to have more of an impact on the image when tweaking the formula.
Here's what I saw after changing CitrusIFS for ColumnsIFS:
A promising start with a definite change in the design, but the shapes were a bit too big for my liking. After a little tweaking, I got this in the navigator:
Getting there! Still not quite detailed enough for my liking, but increasing the number of MengerIFS iterations solved that problem! The rest of the time was spent playing with camera angles, lighting and colouring, until finally I got something I was happy with. I could have spent longer tweaking it, but I have chores to get on with XD
Anyway, here are the parameters!
