Here are two different views of the same Julia set fractal rendered with FractalWorks.

The fractal is from a zoom into a Julia set who's seed point is taken from a baby Mandelbrot on an "antenna" of the main mandelbrot set.

The first is a fairly standard 2D view, using fractional iteration values for coloring:




And here is a 3D rendering of the same fractal, using the same color scheme:



The plot parameters are:

Center Point (real, imaginary):   -1.296001386113,   -0.4416275218608 i
Plot Width (real):   1.55E-11
Julia origin (real, imaginary):   -1.296001386112727,   -0.4416275218614325 i

(The clouds were obviously added in post-processing, to increase the landscape look of the plot.)

I was struck by how dramatically different these two images are, even though they are exactly the same fractal, plotted with the same colors.

c/c welcome.

Regards,

Duncan C

And here's yet another treatment of the same fractal. I think this one looks like a neuron.

nice images, and indeed the images looks like a neuron, perhaps you could use more contrast in the colors to show the neuron structure e.g. only the blue area with color, and the rest ... hmm, maybe black Smiley

Trifox,

I tried your suggestion. It does make it look more like a neuron, but not as visually interesting.
