Goodnight sweet prince

Yeah I read that too, but I don't see how cannabis fractals (probably a julian set) are an appropriate celebration of Mandelbrot.

hm i didnt even know he lived in "our time."
thought he lived some 50 to 100 years ago and did all his research/drawing by paper and only today they can calculate/draw his fractals with computers.
but appearently that was the julia guy. hm.

He worked on his theories before powerful computing, and when it came about he got to see his own creations in a new light. He was pretty old.

Here's a recent TED talk by him:

Yeah..would make sense to just use...the Mandelbrot set...

Aw. I've always liked fractals too.

I once suggested fractal gifs as overlay texture for units under construction. Looked nice, transported this feeling of comrpessed complexity i connect with nanos, good night sweet prince.

It's interesting that Dize released his fractal based game he's been working on for a while now the day after his death: http://store.steampowered.com/app/67000/

I know not the full complexity of fractals but I'm sure I'll come to appreciate it all in the future.

Fractal generator that zooms in fast
others are painfully slow

Right now im rendering a high quality animation,
I hope that a) the hardrive doesnt overload and b) the cpu doesnt melt

cant stop thinking of delicious marzipan when I hear mandelbrot

Zooms in fast, because it is shit. Every one know Ultra Fractal is the best http://www.ultrafractal.com/

Long live Mandelbrot

Had a ton of fun zooming through his set. :)

This one is taken somewhere in the seahorse valley. Simple 30x box filter antialiasing.

Another nice pic: http://eischer.tontut.fi/~riq/fractal/huge.jpg (warning, 12MB)

IIRC huge.jpg took something like 500MB as bitmap and over an hour to calculate (own rendering program, pretty simple but accurate to the limit of 64bit arithmetic... smooth shading and rudimentary antialiasing).

There are lots of nice fractals generated from the same equation.

I wonder what a quaternion equivalent of mandelbrot set would look like. :D

z_n+1 = z┬▓ + C where C = a+bi+cj+dk, and use imaginary values (b,c,d) as 3d space coordinates and real value (a) as colour - 4 dimensional fractal. Anyone know a good voxel rendering library?

I'm sure that fractals would be great for unit design. They work well in nature.

Fun looking game.

He released it??? Awesome! I still have and old old example version he gave me like a year ago. Shit's fuckin cash!

This is a really good idea I am going to try it when I have time.

make sure it is transparent or else find some way to look into cross sections.

It would look like this
