Title: Fractal Fonts
Post by: eight on February 10, 2014, 06:30:47 PM
Hello!

I am just starting using fractal software, and was wondering about the shortest path to creating fractal fonts, which look like this, for example:

Naively, I would try to convert each letter into a fractal in 2d with a small number of recursions. Is there a software that could easily do that, even if further manual editing is required?

Thanks a lot

Don't know about any software, but I really love the idea!

you could try jwildfire, a ifs fractal generator that lets you import pictures, you could just open it and plug a picture into it, and transform it like you did above, but i am not very experienced with the program, somewhere you can plug in images, you may find it here:
