Does NY1 if it is possible to exist a real 3D fractal? I am not talking about a 3D projection of a 2D image, like you can do with fractint and other programs, or simply rotating the Mandelbrot set about the x-axis to create a "cylinder" type. I mean a real 3D in the math. The Mandelbrot plots along the X and Y axis (real and imaginary) in a 2D plane. But what about the 3rd axis (which would be perpendicular to the screen, coming out at you and projecting behind)? And it would be plotted in a cube, ie, "3-space". I can do some coding but my math skills are not up to this, maybe the Russ man has some ideas. Those who beat their swords into ploughshares will plough for those who don't ... JoTz

Have you tried using any of the following (several of which will export object files to use in a 3-D rendering application): Terry W. Gintz's programs Cubics DynaMaSZ Fractal Zplot QuaSZ etc.... Garth Thornton's program (IFS type) XenoDream Dirk Meyer's program Quat POV-Ray etc...

BTW, some of Terry's programs are available as TRIAL versions to freely download and use: http://www.mysticfractal.com/quasz_trial.htm http://www.mysticfractal.com/fractalzplot_trial.htm http://www.mysticfractal.com/fractalvizion_trial.htm And a FREEWARE version: http://www.mysticfractal.com/dofozon.zip And for something else, there is an Applet you can use with your web browser at: http://www.3dfractals.com/ Sincerely, P.N.L. ------------------------------------------------- http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/PNL_Fractals.html http://www.Nahee.com/Fractals/
