Aztec Broccoli - Buffalo Fractal

Description

I discovered that the direction from the centroid in which you zoom affects the final outcome of the render. Zooming into one quadrant I relative to the centroid adds detail while zooming into quadrant II cuts it away. This is my first attempt at creating deeply intricate patterns by selective zooming. I start out with a feature resembling a circle with eight smaller circles surrounding it. In the final render if you look closely you can see that there are a total of five different sizes of green circles, each with tiny amethyst jewels in the centers. The shape can be seen around 1:27 of my "Aztec Ruins" video on youtube [link] but the video completely deviates away from this point. The "Aztec" in the name is a reference to the Aztec Sun Stone, [link] because some of the fractal patterns I found in the Buffalo set resembled the patterns carved into stones by this ancient culture.
