Here's something that'll get you thinking about the '60's.
With this .pz3 you can make kaleidoscopic-type renders from any image of your choice. Nice for backgrounds, textures, or simply fun & inspiration.
Load the .pz3, go to the Material Room, apply any image map of your choice to the ImageHere plane, then render. Render settings, cameras & light are all included in the pz3. Produces a 4/3 ratio (for example, 1200x900) render size.
For even more complex effects you can then load the render you just did as the new image map & render again.
You can change the orientation of your image map from horizontal to vertical by changing its Texture_Coords to VU in the Material Room.
Even works with some procedurals. Experiment!
Firefly with Raytracing Enabled is REQUIRED for this to work. Does not/will not/cannot work in P4/PPP or Studio.
Tested in P7 & P5.
TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS:
Firefly P5 up REQUIRED.
if you render & get only a triangle surrounded by black, you need to turn on Raytracing in your Render Settings. Use at least 2 bounces.
if it's a white triangle surrounded by black, you need to load an image AND turn on RayTracing.
if you get All White, your Raytracing is on but you need to load in an image.
if your image looks a little fuzzy, turn off Texture Filtering.
You may want to save the cameras to your Library in case you move something & need to reset your view.
Try the other cameras for some different results.
Enjoy!
