Generating fractals can be an artistic endeavor, a mathematical pursuit, or just a soothing diversion. However, FA is clearly distinguished from other digital activities by what it is, and by what it is not.” – https://www.fractalus.com/info/manifesto.htm
Have you heard of William Latham and 'Organic Art'? Google for images / wiki I think you'll like his 3d fractal creatures/plants things. Originally a project with IBM he later made a program for Windows that allows you to create them, and and a screen saver which I think does too. It is still downloadable at http://www.nemeton.com/static/artworks/download/index.html
+Ian Meredith Fractal art has changed since it's inception, but I do have a few examples of the classic mandlebrot fractal zoomed in which I find just as lovely. I just don't happen to have then on this computer.
At any rate I didn't name 'em, just use the programs ^^ Now to find your other comment (s) , notifications aren't really what they ought to be :)
Nice. don't look like fractals tho'. Mathematical yes but not infinitely scalable in self repeating detail. Perhaps fractal art is not what it once was in mandlebrot days?
Thank you +Celeste Odono , that's very sweet of you but it's more practice than talent :P
+miriam dunn lol Thanks , they can be huge p.i.t.a's to learn to any usable degree, depending on which one of course :)
+Chris Mallory Thank you, I tried to add a little variety :D
+Chris Bagley Thank you & you're welcome :D It's hard for me to explain them without pasting huge amounts from there and wiki, so I just included the link. Oh and don't be silly, I suspect you have have all three in spades. All of what I use is free, google Apophysis 7x & Incendia and have a go at it :D
Thanks for the link +Rachael Alexandra, I often wondered what fractal art was. I see it and your image is wonderful but I've never understood the process.
" Fractal Art is requiring of input, effort and intelligence "
Well, I've got the first two kinda covered. Two out of three ain't bad :)
Really dig these Rach :D Love how each one has its own unique style… impressive collection :)
I downloaded a program to make fractal art and was quite miserable at it! Great site!
These are beautiful, Rachael. Some serious talent you have.
