Hey there!

[Starmute]

Hello everyone! I'm Starmute (though that's already abundantly clear!) I'm fifteen years old, perhaps one of the youngest members of this forum, and I've known fractals for, well, 85 percent of my life. When I was very young - two, three years old, my father showed me videos of the Mandelbrot set and Julia sets. I was captivated by the Mandelbrot set, and to a slightly lesser degree by Julia sets ("Daddy, why is this always the same?"). It seems that the love of fractals is inherited - before I was born my father spent many dozens of hours examining various places in the Mandelbrot set, and in fact he has an entire bookshelf of books about fractals. I read several of those books many times when I was younger, eventually turning to a computer to create my own images. A few years ago I discovered the Mandelbox and Mandelbulb, but my interest in them wore off. In June I rediscovered 3d fractals, and immediately decided that I had to make some images and videos of my own. So I did (using Mandelbulber), and posted the videos on my YouTube channel, where they were promptly and vigorously ignored by my audience, which is mostly there for video games. 

I'll see you all around!

Cheers,
Starmute

hello and welcome to the forums,
that is a nice surrounding you are coming from, i learned about mandelbrot at the age of 12 and had to wait like hours for a single mandelbrot image to render, now we live in this fantastic supercomputer world and they still get faster

since i have a little youtube channel you can peak into it as well, covering various forums topics, art and news
