Title: Fractal Images
Post by: rdc on December 06, 2006
I stumbled across this site:

http://www.fractalus.com/cheshirecat/gallery.htm

Some of the best fractal images I have seen. She is using a program called Ultra Fractal (http://www.ultrafractal.com/), which produces some really fantastic images. I think I am going to have to save my pennys and get it.

I thought it was quite interesting too.

I have a question, Master Taj: could you do stuff like this in POV-Ray? I have been going through the PR tutorials but been a little short on time lately, so I haven't gotten very far. I would think it would be possible, since these are just equations.

Thats a great example of POVRay fractals. I dont think they are in the same class as the ones from the page you posted: conclusion, POVray isnt designed for fractal rendering.

Taj:

I think I agree. Not the quite the same, but some excellent work all the same.

Shockwave:

Pretty amazing stuff there, indeed.
