Thanks!- Brings me back to the late 1980's when I showed fractals to my Maths class with an old Commodore 128... We've come a long way, baby!

Real cool. I'm fascinated by the whole Mandelbrot concept.

Here's a really crappy 2D one I just made - I used to be very heavily into making fractals, even made posters 10,000 x 10,000 pixels with full antialising. I ABSOLUTELY MUST get into this new 3D method!!!!!!!

And another one, this time I rendered it smaller so I could post the exact size and have the antialiasing not be all screwed up - the finer structure should be much more visible. I tried to go for a bigger image but not too extreme, hope it works out...

MMMM, fractals!



Seriously, this is great. Mandelbrot and fractals and chaos theory made me everything I am today!

That is actually somewhat true - fractal geometry is all over the place in nature, including in the construction of living things.

There's not even any controversy about it.

What program are you using to render them, Vulgarity?

Cheers!

Fractal Extreme, I bought it ten year ago but there's a demo version you can do quite a bit with too.
