Title: Different angle of a well-known location Post by: Kalles Fraktaler on September 08, 2013, 11:50:02 AM Maybe this is already well explored. And I bet many on this forum could do this much better than me. I watched the youtube movie 'The colors of infinite' and there Arthur Clarke said that the colors of a mandelbrot image can be considered as hights in the same way as a hight map, so I wanted to try do such map in 3D. I.e. the number of iterations in each point is translated to height.
I was surprised that the surface is so chaotic and that the difference can be so big in pixels next to each other. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JyZXKi5OqOk Title: Re: Different angle of a well-known location Post by: Nahee_Enterprises on September 08, 2013, 12:06:52 PM ....the colors of a mandelbrot image can be considered as hights in the same way as a hight map, so I wanted to try do such map in 3D.

I am curious as to what you used to render your fractal images, and the settings used.

This was done with my own hobby programs, which does not have any UI :)Title: Re: Different angle of a well-known location Post by: cKleinhuis on September 08, 2013, 07:43:34 PM lol, really surpised ? lol, yes it is indeed quite puzzling when viewing at those extreme outbreaks inside a relatively flat area, but hey, you know, that classifies it as a chaotic object ;) distance estimation lead to somewhat smoother results, and an additional smoothing step levels out those ultra high peaks, well done :D |
