Welcome to Fractal Forums

Hi all, this is my first time here, and I was wondering how I could render a fractal like this. Does it have a specific name? Is it even a fractal?

hi, that's a modified version of my fractal "temptress" (see original here: http://lyc.deviantart.com/art/temptress-38751837) which was ripped and put on desktop nexus.

it was rendered with my own software, which doesn't have a user interface unfortunately, so reproducing something like it wouldn't be easy - i can't even reproduce it because there are no saved parameters and the source code has since changed.

having said that, your best bet is to look for flame-fractal rendering software like apophysis - this is based on similar algorithms as those used in my program.

Thanks for the information, and great job on making that. :D

np, and be sure to post your fractal explorations here  O0

btw i'm curious, where did you find that image? judging from the filename it looks like *gasp* 4chan...

haha, yeah, it was one of the first images I found on 4chan, and it has been my desktop background for ages. >.<

I'm quite frankly amazed that I stumbled upon this site and not only did someone know about this picture, but the creator responded O_o

I checked out your deviant art too, and you mentioned a poster resolution, but I can't find it for the life of me :(


I'll try... I've got a long way too go >.<

you can imagine how disappointed i am that you're probably the only person who's seen this (ripped, modified) image and knows i made it  :-\ damn you, internets *shakes fist*

about the poster res version, i don't post it online for reasons that are now obvious, but you can get it from me if you want. send me a mail, and um, please don't rip it.

heheh, good ol' 4chan.

do i get this right ? some company used your image, modified the colours and used it for desktop backgrounds ?
nasty nasty .....
 :police: :siren:

yeah, if you look at desktopnexus.com you see basically all of deviantart again, completely ripped without credit.

have a look also in the forums, you will find da users complaining and desktopnexus users telling them to f-off etc. really a wonderful site... i can't imagine the worth of owning a site like that, that is hated by so many.

The information on fractal is very passionate to know about it. It really helps me to learn a lot of innovative ideas from others for their life. It will definitely brings out something out of it. It is a nice idea to be shared by others for their work. Thanks for giving away the finest details there.

A fractal is a shape and drawn by the computer, that repeats itself in a pattern. The design shapes usually reoccur in different size then the fractal information is very useful for the people. It is the very good idea for share this information for their work.

vilane: It's not nessecary to draw fractals on a computer.

In theory, fractals have infinite details. This is easier to approximate with the computer than by hand but certain fractals are actually quite simple-ish to draw if you have enough patience and work accurately :)

Also, nature uses a lot of fractal structures which can't have infinite details: At least after hitting atomic scales, the recursion has to stop...

But that's the case for the computer aswell: It's impossible to truely zoom infinitely deep without having infinite time and memory (or infinite speed and memory, which definitely is bound by theories of relativity^^)

However it *is* possible to do "infinite" zooms with fractals that totally keep their shapes.

The Sierpinski-triangle for instance starts to repeat very quickly, so you need a very short sequence to make it look like zooming into infinity.

@kram please report spam mails, rather than talking to bots :D

i will delete the post !

lol...
Those bots get creepier and creepier...

Even talk nearly on topic  :-\

thanks to wolfram alpha  O0 :police: :alien:

hmm, i have installed "recaptcha" anti spam system

hope that helps, immediate registration is still active, if it doesnt help abit i have to restrict that also ...  :police: :police: :police: :police: :police: :police: :police: :police: :police: :police:

how does wolfram alpha relate to them? lol

The definition given there is

fractal | (mathematics) a geometric pattern that is repeated at every scale and so cannot be represented by classical geometry

lol, i dunno how they do it, this is how I would try it :D
