Title: Public Attention ! Post by: cKleinhuis on November 18, 2009, 11:18:13 AM As you might have get known to it, the "true 3d mandelbrot type fractal" thread has received
massive public attention http://www.fractalforums.com/3d-fractal-generation/true-3d-mandlebrot-type-fractal/ in the last few days On 16th of November 2009 the thread and the very detailed summarization of user twinbee on his website: http://www.skytopia.com/project/fractal/mandelbulb.html http://www.skytopia.com/project/fractal/2mandelbulb.html actually there is going on quite a webwide earthquake If one searches for "mandelbulb" on google, one finds actually many more references to that pages, there are lokal newspapers, and several blog entries reffering to the theme, here is a short list of some example references: http://fraktalwelten.wordpress.com/2009/11/18/mandelbulb/ http://www.boingboing.net/2009/11/16/mandelbulb-3d-mandel.html http://blogs.howstuffworks.com/2009/11/13/photos-of-the-mandelbulb/ http://www.devmaster.net/forums/showthread.php?p=71819 http://www.devmaster.net/forums/showthread.php?p=71819 http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=150985&st=0&p=952165&#entry952165 so, and now for some statistics for the effect on fractalforums.com fractalforums.com has had 24.000 visits on a single day, with corresponding page views of nearly 100.000 normaly fractalforums.com has around 1.000 visits a day so, again i have to say thank you to the many contributors, and especially user twinbee for starting such a thread ... still mandelbulbs solve no real mathematical problem, nor it gives technological breakthrough, but it is a nice method for generating 3d images, and compared to the amount of images that has been explored since the encounter of the plain 2d mandelbrot, we will stay tuned for a lot interesting images that will come ... O0 thank you and keep on experimenting ... Title: Re: Public Attention !
