Fractals. Also, a 3d fractal generator
And the mandelbrot set, drawn in artpad (drawn by a friend of mine)
This post was for Huronbob, a tireless campaigner for quality posts, whose last three have been to metafilter, cnn, and metafilter again. Truly an example for us all, and a prince among men
And a previous monkeyfilter post about fractals.
Can't get enough of fractals.
Online fractal explorer. Java. Allows for about 25 zooms.
Fractal galleries posted at Metafilter.
Excellent. Cheers scartol and Gyan
Unless I'm mistaken, "quat" actually produces 3-d slices of four dimensional fractals. I believe the "quat" is short for "quaternion" which is kinda like a 4-d version of the complex numbers.
I remember reading about 4-d Mandelbrot and Julia sets which use quaternions in the 80s, with some spiffy pictures in an issue of Byte magazine.
I'm downloadning now, and I'll let you know what I find!
