I seriously doubt there will ever be enough of a market for fractal rings to make it worthwhile. :D Title: Re: The Making of a Mandelbulb Ring Collection Post by: cbuchner1 on October 21, 2013, 12:48:26 AM I think the reason why fractal rings haven't caught on much is very much the same reason why we don't have
The surface is too rough for comfortable wear. ahem. Those rings could give the wearer a serious advantage in a fist fight tough. Maybe try earrings. One could do a full Mandelbulb, and even add some gems/diamonds in place of the minibulbs.

Title: Re: The Making of a Mandelbulb Ring Collection Post by: mclarekin on October 21, 2013, 09:02:50 AM Nice set of rings, BUT I feel that what I find amazing in fractals is the colouring and the clarity of detail, so the size of a ring and the current materials for 3D printing, makes it difficult to portray these attributes.
As a fractal fan I naturally like your rings, but I unfortunately can not see much of a market for them unless we can make fractals into THE latest world wide craze, hmmmm, fractal hoola hoops, fractal yoyos .... (I still have a Coca Cola brand yoyo from the early seventies, oh man, that sure was one crazy yo-yoing scene back then) Title: Re: The Making of a Mandelbulb Ring Collection Post by: KRAFTWERK on October 21, 2013, 12:48:23 PM :) Well, we will see about the commercial possibilities of fractal rings, I agree with you mclarekin that the detail of a blown up photography of a fractal ring is a bit of a disappointment, but to see it in reality is a different thing, it looks very detailed, to get mini mini bulbs visible for the eye on a small piece like this is a joy for me to see... I think you'd agree if you saw it. ...to be honest I already got some chafe from it... O0 And @ Paul, I have removed the link. |
