[Download] Starcraft 2 Dragon Fractals

What do you think?

Attached below. I think I may put a youtube video up since some people won't be interested in downloading a file. I chose a pretty cool model.

Limited to 8192 objects. I didn't want to make it too complex. This may be interesting to those who want to make cool spell effects however it is demanding. 8192 objects isn't easy to render.

It doesn't have much purpose outside of understanding the power of the Starcraft 2 engine.

I did learn that the mini map only displays a few thousand of the newest units created.

I did make some modifications that allowed the fractal to turn however it would still be much more efficient to use an image, it just doesn't look as cool.

I used it just to get some practice with loops.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractal A lot about fractals

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_curve A more specific type of fractal featured in Jurassic Park, the book.

Essentially though as it increases and decreases size, it maintains the same or similar shape. Even a single unit (in this case I used an arrow because it had nice opacity features and wasn't resource intensive), is supposed to be a similar to shape to the one containing thousands.
