Title: Colorful spiral Post by: Duncan C on December 24, 2009, 02:47:01 AM (http://www.pbase.com/image/120528208/original.jpg)
I like the way Mandelbrot spirals look rendered in 3D when they are from minibrots that have lots of tendrils coming off of them. The image above is from the dragon region of a minibrot that is attached to a tendril coming off of a disk on the main Mandelbrot set. The spiral has lots of little tendrils coming off of it, and those tendrils give really cool texture to the 3D plots I get. I get a similar effect using minibrots off of the largest minibrot on the real axis, but the tendrils in this image have more bifurcations, so they give the 3D shape a more complex, folded texture. Here is the info on the plot: Fractal type: mandelbrot Maximum iterations: 10000 Center Point (real, imaginary): -1.2553596702, 0.38225986472 i Plot Width (real): 7.97E-10 This Mandelbrot set fractal was rendered in FractalWorks, a free, high performance fractal renderer for Macintosh computers. You can download fractalworks and try it yourself at the FractalWorks download site (http://web.mac.com/dchampney/Site/FractalWorks.html).
