But the real question becomes, is a missing OP a 0-dimensional fractal?
Of course, a fractal is a shape with fractional (Hausdorff, IIRC) dimension. So if it’s 3-dimensional, it ain’t a fractal.
Maybe you’ve just answered the OP…
I use cloud and noise textures in 3D space at work that can look like ‘3D’ fractals when the camera moves or geometry swims through them.
I’ve called them fractals before - Perhaps the OP was referring to them.
What the OP probably had in mind was structures that have a dimension between two and three.
You’ve got a point there, ftg.
I’ll close this and invite CuriousCanuck to repost. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Damn… I didn’t realize that it posted blank. OK… here was my question: I am curious…
I was reading on a physics site that a 3 dimensional fractal has a Zero volume. How can this be? And while we are on the subject, what is meant when it is said that a 3D fractal really is not 3d, it is more like 2.5d.
Physicists?
