Interesting.
But you can't get what the others were getting, and you can't make animations or save an AVI file. Or even make a jpg :w00t:

I looked a bit deeper into this. This is so interesting!
I could stare on these images endlessly! (Lol, I'm I hypnotised already?)

The Mandelbulb Flight provides an ultimate endorphine kick. :tezuka: :hyo: :tenma: :astro: :p irate: :santa:

They must have used one heck of a computer to process all of this data.

And who said that mathematics couldn't be art? :D

For having written a software that do 2D fractal calculations, I can tell you that there is a lot of calculations. And 3D fractals are even more calculationally greedy :eek:
The real sign that someone has become a fanatic is that he completely loses his sense of humor about some important facet of his life. When humor goes, it means he's lost his perspective.

So it's a program that makes patterns? o.o Looks really cool!

3D effects like that are brillent like that, but, I'd rather look at things like this or this or this or this

I dunno, you guys get what I mean right? :eek:
