Sterling Publishing, based in New York City, just released a new book called Fractal 3D Magic. The forward was written by Clifford Pickover, a well known American Science writer.

The book is a collection of red/cyan anaglyph images of different types of 3D fractals.

It's mostly Mandelbrot and Julia set height maps, 3D flames, and what appears to be a fair number of Mandelbulbs, plus a fair number of Menger Sponge type images.

The Mandelbrot and Julia set images are mostly my work using my program, FractalWorks. There are also a number of images by another fractal artist named Fernando Vallejo, who uses FractalWorks along with various post-processing and compositing techniques. I met Fernando on Flikr several years ago. He used to be active in the FractalWorks forum I set up there.

I don't know the other 2 artists in the book, Aleksey Ospenkov and S. Rathinagiri.

Anaglyphs don't really do the images justice, but its a decent way to deliver 3D fractal images to the public.

I'm very happy to see my work in print. I hope the book is successful.

It looks like it's available on Amazon:

Right, I also remember this name, this is the guy who suggested to include 3D-stereo-rendering into JWildfire :-) (I think they are not covered in the book yet, as this is was that much in the past)

Hi, I am S. Rathinagiri as mentioned in that book. smiley

Thank you Andreas for remembering me. The images published in that book were mostly created using Apophysis and Mandelbulb3D in the past.

Thanks for the information. I really like the way Pickover writes about surtain subjects. The best is that this one is about fractals.

I was actually kind of disappointed in the commentary. Pickover wrote very little. It reads like it was mostly written by the editors at the publisher, who don't have a very deep knowledge of the subject.

I'd call it  a coffee table art book.

Thats true, not as much information as in his other books.
