RyanJ Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Come on people let the votes fly! One of the most fascinating things in mathematics to me, fractals. The real question is what set are your favourite? If you like link to any examples on the net or post your own, its all good Here is an example of my favourite made with Ultra Fractal: http://standards.spiralmindsinc.com/Personal/Images/fav.png Cheers, Ryan Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insane_alien Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Koch Snowflake. And not just cause it sounds like really cold genitalia, i think it looks cool. i remember trying to draw it as far as possible when i was younger and didn't understand the mathematical principles behind it. now, i'm older and don't understand the mathematical principles behind it.

OK honestly I can't think of a fratal I don't like... Fractals are just amazing things... snowflakes are nice too Cheers, Ryan Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daecon Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Is there a link where we can look at and compare all these different types of fractals, and how they're made, before we make up our mind? I've only heard of the Mandelbrot one, so I can't really offer a fair opinion until I've seen the others... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inspiration Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 I can not honestly say i have seen many fractals, and the good ones (aka:not radically over-accentuated with colour) are hard to find. Though i do like the exhibit of teh "buddah" fractal in Wikipedia. And the "pythagorous tree" fractal generally creates a pretty nice image as well.

RyanJ Posted March 5, 2006 Author Share Posted March 5, 2006 I'll see if I can find some colourful ones, rightnow I'm limited to the good oes I uploaded here: http://standards.spiralmindsinc.com/Personal/Images/Fractals/ I'll see if I can make some more later today Cheers, Ryan Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarisse Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 I really like this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanJ Posted March 6, 2006 Author Share Posted March 6, 2006 OOO, nice. Looks like a fractal version of an image I saw called the known universe - thats pretty neat. Cheers, Ryan Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halucigenia Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Barnsley fractals From Fractals Everywhere by Michael Barnsley It appears to be a set of the common fractals Sierpinski, Koch, and Castle though I have not yet found any Dragons The strange thing is I never find it in any fractal generator programs as standard, I have always had to create the formula myself, and it's a simple enough formula. Here's the formula if anyone wants to investigate it. IF (real(z) < 0) z = (z+1)/conj(Pixel) ELSE z = (z-1)/Pixel Here's the full thing:- Here's a zoom:- Very cellular and organic looking I think. I have made some wonderful variations on it. Barnsley/Mandelbrot hybrids I call them. Here's one:- I call it the Victorian Octopus, Sepia Squid or Budda on a Paisley Flying Carpet (can you see it?)

RyanJ Posted March 13, 2006 Author Share Posted March 13, 2006 I do like the second one, its very nice! Cheers, Ryan Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanJ Posted March 19, 2006 Author Share Posted March 19, 2006 what are these? Fractals, http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Fractal.html gives a good definition Cheers, Ryan Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
