Title: Introducting: mandelbulb.js
Post by: royvanrijn on July 12, 2012, 07:20:19 PM
I've translated my exploratory Java code intro Javascript today, creating mandelbulb.js:
http://www.redcode.nl/blog/2012/07/introducing-mandelbulb-js/

Out of the box it renders (by scanline) a rotating 3d Mandelbulb. But the main reason I've posted the code is to get more developers into fractal coding. It is quite easy to understand and probably full of bugs. Nonetheless it should be easy to extend and change! Someone could add better camera control, maybe improve the perspective code... people can add more Distance Estimation functions etc!

I'm surprised at how fast the Javascript code is, sure, it isn't fullscreen, and not fast enough for real-time live animation, but still!

Any comments and/or improvements are welcome!
