Title: The Ark of Covenant of 3D fractals
Post by: Alef on July 25, 2012, 05:40:05 PM
Well, there are 'Holly Grail'. But there are another holly item much sought, the Ark of Covenant. Besides, it is kind of box;)

The most popular 3D formula is Mandelbox / Amazingbox, much becouse of marvels inside of it. And it is easy, its much harder to retrieve something visual using other formulas. Alsou it is one of the fastest 3D formulas. But all the patterns inside of mandelbox are high -tech geometry.

There are no natural things like Barnsley ferns, seashells, oceanic waves, coralls, clouds, trees, flowers, dragons and for everyone well know simbols like crosses, david stars, crescents, hearths e.t.c. Maybe  different symmetries, say hexagonal bee hive would be quind of natural.

When I first discovered fractals the most fascinating I found that mathematical formula can generate living things or religious simbols, say viscek fractal have outline of catholic cross carried out in religious ceremonies (throught realy I have no idea, what they are doing, it's just my memories).

So perfect pattern formula, 3D box of fractals of natural shapes, or maybe infinite ducks fractal with each spot having different pattern would be something worthy to search for.

Anywhay, who needs another failed brot/bulb.
