How to Create Fractals in OBJ Format
A fractal is a geometric figure, each part of which has the same statistical character as the whole. If you split a fractal into its parts, each part is a reduced-size copy of the original fractal. An OBJ file is a standard 3D object file format. Creating fractals is easy if you are using a third party tool; however, creating an OBJ file containing a fractal is more difficult. Fortunately, one tool is able to render a 3D fractal and save it as an OBJ file. You can use this file in any 3D editing or CAD software.
