Title: OT - Has mr Benoit commented on the 3D mandelbulbs? Post by: KRAFTWERK on March 18, 2010, 01:27:49 PM There's no Chit-chat part here in the 3D-forum, I hope it is OK here :hurt:
Does anyone know if Benoit Mandelbrot knows about what has happened here the last months? He should be a bit interested don't you think? Just curious... O0 Title: Re: OT - Has mr Benoit commented on the 3D mandelbulbs? Post by: cKleinhuis on March 18, 2010, 01:38:12 PM hmm, i do not know, i think he surely has heard from it, but does not seem to say anything :D
perhaps we should ask him about a statement :evil1: Title: Re: OT - Has mr Benoit commented on the 3D mandelbulbs? Post by: KRAFTWERK on March 18, 2010, 01:56:26 PM His email is official....
http://www.math.yale.edu/mandelbrot/ I dont't dare though... Can you send email to a house-god? :tongue1: Title: Re: OT - Has mr Benoit commented on the 3D mandelbulbs? Post by: kram1032 on March 18, 2010, 07:07:35 PM Why shouldn't you? :P

Title: Re: OT - Has mr Benoit commented on the 3D mandelbulbs? Post by: gaston3d on March 18, 2010, 09:12:34 PM it is the secretary that answers his emails, but i can give it a try I like the idea. Chris, I think you are right person to do this. I sent him birthday greetings last autumn and he answered after two weeks. That message made my day, especially when I noticed that after 70 years he still remembers polish a bit. Title: Re: OT - Has mr Benoit commented on the 3D mandelbulbs?

Quote Dear Mr Mandelbrot ( or whoever reads it first ) i am the admin of the fractalforums.com fractal forum. in the last year a 3d version of the mandelbrot has been developed. It is using a triplex algebra working with spherical coordinates to achieve exponentiation on triplex ( 3 component vector ) tupels. One result is that the cutting plane X/Y is kept the same as when working with complex numbers. The arosen object has been called "Mandelbulb" here is a link describing it in more detail: http://www.skytopia.com/project/fractal/mandelbulb.html so, we on fractalforums.com thought what - the godfather of fractals - mr. mandelbrot himself thinks about these objects. sincerely c.Kleinhuis lets see what happens next Title: Re: OT - Has mr Benoit commented on the 3D mandelbulbs?

I like it better with this kind of "official" mail from a serious (?) ;) forum than sending a personal mail. Exciting... O0 Title: Re: OT - Has mr Benoit commented on the 3D mandelbulbs?

Quote Dear Mr Kleinhuis, Sorry, I had no time until today to look up your fractal art. It is very attractive. Do you have more recent fractal art? All the best, Benoit Mandelbrot it seems that he has really written it himself ;) i wrote the following in response: Quote Hello Mr Mandelbrot, thank you for taking your precious time to answer. I have to admit that i am not the main creator of this fractal art, and i am speaking for the members of the fractalforums.com site, and we are very keen to know your opinion on the so called triplex fractals, i provide you with some links to animations/images for further inquiry: Great site Featuring lots of 3d Fractals using Triplex numbers: http://fractalanimations.com/ many images can be found in the gallery, but i want to ppoint you to a blog poster who reviews many of the images posted on fractalforums.com : http://orbittrap.ca/?p=1379 http://orbittrap.ca/?p=1227 http://orbittrap.ca/?p=1210 http://orbittrap.ca/?p=1179 http://orbittrap.ca/?p=1161 as stated above, we would love to hear a personal opionion about those new developments, here is a link of an article describing what we are doing: http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn18171-the-mandelbulb-first-true-3d-image-of-famous-fractal.html and last but not least here is a detailed description of the triplex algebra used to produce those images: http://www.fractalforums.com/theory/summary-of-3d-mandelbrot-set-formulas/ regards from all fractalforums.com members c.Kleinhuis Title: Re: OT - Has mr Benoit commented on the 3D mandelbulbs? Post by: reesej2 on July 04, 2010, 11:29:09 PM I have to admit I'm having kind of a fangirl reaction here... Good response, Trifox, looks like you covered all the bases.
Title: Re: OT - Has mr Benoit commented on the 3D mandelbulbs? Post by: bib on July 05, 2010, 10:16:02 AM Good answer Trifox. There are actually some images of mine in the orbittrap reviews, so I'm so glad that Benoit Mandelbrot in person might have a look at my work. But most importantly, it's a great success for fractalforums :)
Title: Re: OT - Has mr Benoit commented on the 3D mandelbulbs? Post by: Rathinagiri on July 05, 2010, 10:24:50 AM Real excitement.
Can't wait to see his reply! Title: Re: OT - Has mr Benoit commented on the 3D mandelbulbs? Post by: Sockratease on July 05, 2010, 11:16:07 AM Nifty!
I hope Benny stops by here someday O0 Title: Re: OT - Has mr Benoit commented on the 3D mandelbulbs? Post by: KRAFTWERK on July 05, 2010, 01:57:29 PM Good answer Trifox.

Post by: Timeroot on July 05, 2010, 06:04:57 PM ;D That's so cool! I hadn't been here in **ages**, and then I just happened to stop by here today... (coincidence? heheheh...) I hope he can give us more feedback! Nice response Trifox! :)
Title: Re: OT - Has mr Benoit commented on the 3D mandelbulbs? Post by: twinbee on July 07, 2010, 03:19:12 PM Wow, he responded.
I tried once ages back, without luck, but looks like your perseverance paid off! Title: Re: OT - Has mr Benoit commented on the 3D mandelbulbs? Post by: kram1032 on July 07, 2010, 05:14:51 PM Yay, this is great :D
I'm already very curious about what he'll reply this time :) The way he wrote the previous response indicates that he'll respond again :) Title: Re: OT - Has mr Benoit commented on the 3D mandelbulbs? Post by: cKleinhuis on July 07, 2010, 07:27:45 PM but it could take some time ;)
Title: Re: OT - Has mr Benoit commented on the 3D mandelbulbs? Post by: kram1032 on July 08, 2010, 06:22:40 PM Yeah, sure. :)
Patience is a rare gift^^ Title: Re: OT - Has mr Benoit commented on the 3D mandelbulbs? Post by: cortexman on October 16, 2010, 07:22:48 PM It is with sadness that I report the passing of Benoit Mandelbrot.
