Title: A 3d von Koch...
Post by: Chris Thomasson on February 24, 2015, 06:35:07 AM
Here is a link to a crude animation of my interpretation of a 3d von Koch fractal:

This has rotation, and mutation of the total area a given recursion can use of a side of the seed pyramid, and increasing iteration count threshold.

I hope you do not think this is crap!

Yikes! I should have posted this to the Animation Showcase.

Sorry about that non-sense!

It has strong stretching :)

quite interesting, but video frames lag a lot, can you produce a more smooth animation with more frames/second ?

it looks you are doing some kind of screen recording to record it, better approach is to write out single frames jpg/png and then stitch the frames together using a program like "virtualdub"

I did record this using a screen capture program. Well, it does work, but not very darn good at all. Yikes!

I am implementing this in C++ and GLUT and can indeed take frame-by-frame shots with the `glReadPxiels()' function. It has to be orders of magnitude better wrt quality.

screen capturing does rarely create 50 fps recordings, if you have the possibility to write out single frames, which shouldnt be much of a problem nowadays it is certainly worth it ;)
