Volumetric Fractals, Julia and Mandelbrot mysteries
Dear Fractint users, Ever wanted to see fractals in 3D? Then use Fractint's built in stereo support. But there is an interesting alternative: volume rendering!!! A friend of mine is working with volumes in his PhD thesis and I did some nice datasets just for fun - and to explore fractals in a very different way. While my computer calculated lots of Julia sets I also discovered a surprising phenomena, but see yourself :) You are welcome to visit my latest work, the "Julia and Mandelbrot" page, at http://mschreier.tripod.com/ To my person: Actually I'm living in south of Germany, I'm working for a local car supplier compagny, and just got the MSc in Distributed Computing Systems Engineering at the Brunel University (Uxbridge, West London). I was exploring fractals since 20 years, first on the good old C64 (remember the Mandelbrot renderer that used also the 1541 floppy CPU?), then with Fractx86 and later with Fractint. I'm mostly interested in 3D graphics, surround sound and model railways. Best regards Marc --------------- JX-8P Resource Center http://www.synthzone.com/~mschreier/ ---------------

I thought they were already fractal in nature. When standing in the middle of a set of tracks, do not they seem the same at greater distances (zoomed out) as they do when viewed directly above them (zoomed in). And are not the railroad ties iterated for the whole length of the railway?? ;-} P.N.L. -------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.fractalus.com/cgi-bin/theway?ring=fractals&id=43&go

Yes! With their dimensionality determined by boxcar counting! Morgan L. Owens "And plenty of critical points."
