Title: A question from Aexion
Post by: DarkBeam on November 08, 2013, 11:32:10 AM
 ^-^ I wasn't able to reply, are you?

http://www.shapeways.com/model/614107/mandelbrot-3d-fractal.html?li=search-results&materialId=25

Do somebody knows which formula leads to this render?

I am curious too. :siren:

Very nice 3Dprint but no idea about the formula

Are we sure it is a formula? Looks built in some 3d app?
A slight resemblance to one of msltoes formulas though...

do not really know as well, but Jos Leys did some 3d kleinian groups with UF exported to pov ray. http://www.fractalforums.com/ultrafractal-b204/3d-kleinian/msg55217/#msg55217 (http://www.fractalforums.com/ultrafractal-b204/3d-kleinian/msg55217/#msg55217)
When I look at the back side of the animated model in shapeways, I am SURE, that this is made with a 3d application.

Could be post-processing.

theoretically possible, but why should the the bigger spheres lurk through the mandelbrot body after postprocess? A little bit strange is, that the shown model consists of dimensionless surface spheres (as far as visible) and not of solid bodies, as required by shapeways.
I am still sure, that this is a fake... ;D
